    Perfection!

    I don’t like wearing shorts, but the increasing hot summers in the Pacific NW convinced me to give in and start wearing shorts.
    Most shorts fit me funny, too short, baggy in the butt and legs, and just ugly.
    I decided to try RedThread shorts. I figured if I had to wear shorts at least I could wear ones that fit and are comfortable.
    These far surpassed my expectations! They fit perfectly, look great and are extremely comfortable.
    Thank you RedThread, you truly live up to your reputation.
