Cute shorts, but not right fit
These were nice shorts.I wish they had fit me. I really liked the color (khaki) and the length but gaping in back of waist and a little tight in the hips. I am 5' and weigh 106. I ordered the size 0. Some of you may have the same problem with the gaping of the waist in a lot of pants or shorts you try on. The adjustable waist should be in everything I think. It would definitely help.

not the usual fit for lands end...
I have other lands end canvas shorts in a size 2. I ordered a size 4 this time and oddly they were too tight. very odd because my size 2 shorts still fit great. Did lands end change the style/sizing? I had to return these shorts. too bad because the style, length and color (reddish-orange color) were really cute! :(

too big for me
I ordered a 2 and it was too big in the back. I ordered the paisley poplin in a 0 and it fit nicely. I'm 5'3" 114 lbs. I also wasn't a fan of the color.

Great shorts if you don't wear short shorts
I love these shorts. I have the purple color which is almost a neon shade and the khaki. Since turning 40 I need my shorts to be a little longer but I am petite so bermuda length looks terrible on me. These are perfect. I love the fabric and colors as much as my J Crew shorts. I do have a rounder backside and these are very flattering. Thanks LE Canvas. I will be ordering more!

These seem to be a new version of the shorts I bought last year....
This is very unfortunate, as I just love the OLD version!! These were made nicely, but I found the gap in the back to be big (I expected a little as they sit low) and bunched up with a wide belt. Had to send them back!

love them
These seem to be the exact same fit as the chinos I bought a year or so ago that are still my favorites. The material is nice and looks good without any ironing unlike some of the less expensive brands. These are NOT the same fit as the Lands End chinos. All Lands End pants seem to be too wide in the hips for me, even the modern cut.

Great fit and length
I saw the not so great reviews, and felt compelled to put in a good word for these shorts.. so they are not discontinued. I'm mid 40's 5'2" 115 lbs. I live in shorts 8 mths out of the yr. These are by far my favorite shorts. I have 4 pair. It's difficult when you are petite to find shorts that are age appropriate.. yet not frumpy. They are the perfect length and the fit is great. I wear a size down. I can see where they may be a bit conservative for teens, but for anyone over 30...these are great go to shorts.

Pretty in Purple
The reviews on these shorts seem to be all over the place. Here's my two cents. First impressions: the fabric is smooth and soft (NOT plasticky), the purple color is wonderful, a more red-violet color than you normally see. The dye is a bit uneven, in the way garment-dyed things tends to look. I like it. Fit-wise, I'm still dialing it in. Based on another review, I sized up (oops) and the waist and hips are definitely too big. My waist/hips are 30/37 and the 8 was just too big. Will try the 6 and see how it goes.

Not my favorite fit
I was hesitant to purchase based on other reviews but took the risk. I actually do like the style and the length a lot but the fit wasn't good on my curvy body. The waist was gapping pretty badly and the hip area was slightly snug. Overall it would've worked just okay but I didn't want "just okay" so I'm returning and continuing the search. Not to mention, the Canvas line seems to run smaller than normal Lands End. Oh...and the bright lavender was a lot brighter in person than the online photo. Still a pretty color though.

So disappointing!
I am a big-time shorts person, and I was excited to find these. I ordered the red, yellow and purple because these colors are hard to find elsewhere. The inseam was perfect and they seemed to fit well, but I had some BIG problems:
1. The fabric is really weird - stiff and kind of plastic-y yet somehow scratchy too. This becomes apparent AFTER you wash the shorts. I don't use weird detergent, and my other clothes are soft after washing.
2. The purple and yellow colors (esp. the yellow) are beyond hideous in person.
3. The dye job on the purple pair was splotchy in the front of the waist and on the fabric covering the zipper. I tried washing them to see if the color would even out, but no. Having big purple splotches over my lower abdomen is attention-drawing and not ok.
I would not recommend these which is sad because they fit so well!!! If Land's End changes the fabric I'd be happy to try more pairs in the future!
