9" Italian Madison Linen Short in Khaki

These are really classy!!!...But....the sizing is tricky...I bought another pair of "size 30" shorts from Todd, different style (not a Madison) and they fit just fine...I am a 32" waist...in fact some 32" pants fit loose....not these, sized at 32 3/4"....not sure why...anyway...this would have been a "5" had I not (again) had to return them for the next size up..."size 31"....which is shown to be 33"and change....I usually can swim in that size...;-)....this is the second time I have had to return a size 30 for a size 31....still waiting on the replacement pair to arrive...in the mean time...the support team at Todd Snyder are fantastic....
