1)I must have back pockets so my local tailor in Boca takes fabric from the inside front pockets and creates back pockets. Voila!
2)As discussed last go 'round ... the buckles are quite 'cheezy'. I have had them replaced by sourcing them out from a novelty shop in NY. Brass buckles that work quite well. It would be worth charging an extra $5 to have a higher quality buckle.
3)So, I had the tailor also add a 1" piece of fabric in the waist at reat as the size 34 'works' BUT creates a pull at the front of shorts where the buttons snap up.
So these are the most expensive shorts I now own. But I LOVE them regardless. No belt needed. Good look!
