Khaki Desert Shorts
(2011-03-19)
I own several pairs of the original issue shorts and these are much better.
Nicer length, crisper fabric. Sizing problematic however. 36's fit like 34's.
Should have got the 38's and hope to do so in the near future.

Like most everybody says better to get a size larger than you need (positively sure about this)
Quality is good for it price range, brass button is shiny and has sharp edges (be aware of it) but its wont bother me. overall a great 41' pattern short

SIZE WARNING!
I bought a pair of these two years ago and they were 'Tighter than Dick's hatband!'. I just bought two more pair, 2" bigger than I normally wear...guess what...they fit perfect! I then buckled, buttoned and measured the interior waist, and low and behold, they were my real waist size, not the size that were marked!
So, these are very fine quality shorts, excellant reproductions, but BUY A SIZE LARGER if you want them to fit!

Love the shorts!! Great fit, great reproduction! I will wear them with my tropical FJ impression, as the germans wore all tropical clothes they could get their hands on from the brits while in the desert. As one person stated above - the button holes are a little small. All in all, I love em! Steve

The size was spot on!I ordered a size 32 and got a size 32,the color was exact also.Now,what I didn't like about them the cloth could be a tab thicker,most importantly the buttons are sharpe and the holes for them are rather smaller than the buttons themselves also the crotch button holes are too close to the outside edge.Other then those detail's described they are very good shorts!Need's alittle refining though!
Great experience!

The quality and look of the shorts are first rate. My only complaint is the metal buttons are difficult to manage. The holes seem a bit too small for them.

The shorts are well made and extremely comfortable. I might have the closing straps moved inwards for easier fastening. Ordered one size above my usual (as these are worn high!) and it fits perfectly. Thanks a lot!

I just got the shorts back from the tailor where I had the hem shortened
and the straps moved forward. I look forward to wearing them in a few
weeks when the weather moderates.

But they seem great! I usually wear a size 36, but had to return them and get a 38 instead. They just showed up, and seem perfect!
Measure twice, buy once!

OK, the size 44 shorts I've received in this order are the correct size for me, as far as possible given the options.
As a word to the wise, when ordering these shorts the size does actually correspond with you waist size, as measured slightly above the navel. In addition if you intend to wear them with a shirt tucked in make sure you measure over the shirt.
I think I'm probably more of a 43 or 43 1/2, but I wouldn't expect Jerry to carry such a wide range of sizes. After all, if one wanted a better fitting uniform than what one was issued with from the QM, one simply went to a local tailor!

Great quality, great price, and great service! I submitted a last-minute order for Halloween, and Jerry was very helpful in making sure I received my order in time. Well Done.
Sizing great, top quality item, very comfy

I have a picture of my Dad wearing what would appear to be an identical pair of shorts (though possibly minus the FDK pocket) when he was doing national service in Singapore with the British army in the 1950's.
As to how to pick the right size, here's how I did it. I'm 6'1" and take a size 38 waist. Ordered the size 40 and it fits perfectly, including length (ending just above the knee. From the shorts in my Dad's photo, you need to remember that these are worn very high by modern standards. The top of the waist should be worn above your belly-button (as per Bobka's review.

I received my today and it was sent quick and effeciently. Very good short and nicely made in Pakistan just like a real WW2 short was. Good material and breathes too.
Good fit and size nothing wrong, just buy what you fit into.

I am very pleased with these, the quality and authenticity is superb. I'll need to take them up a bit as they are a bit long for me. Very happy.
Good repro!

As all wasys a great repro but one flaw! Cross straps like to come out of the buckles but that can fixed.Thanks Jerry!

The material is good and the shorts look nice, but the button holes on the fly were too small for the buttons, and the shorts length went below my knees. I had to take it to a tailor to enlarge the holes and hem the shorts to the proper length.

Nice and as advertised. Perfect fit size 40 for me. Very quick delivery.

Jerry...
THE QUALITY AND EXCELLENCE OF YOUR 1941 KHAKI SHORTS, DOWN TO THE BRASS BUTTONS IS AWESOME... BUT THE SIZING AND MY BODY DID NOT AGREE. THOUGH HIGH WAISTED, THE SIZED 46 SHORTS OVER POWERED ME AND MY 5'9" BODY. THE SHORTS LENGTH WENT BELOW MY KNEES AND THE LEFT WAIST FLAP (WHEN CLOSED) OVERLAPPED THE RIGHT FLAP BY 6 INCHES??? LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO, RETURN THE SIZE 46 AND RESEND ME A PAIR IN A SIZE 40. WAITING FOR YOUR REPLY.

Very well made but I would advise you take the size up from what you would normally buy waist wise. I did after reading someone elses comments and was right, they are a 'snug' fit.

Very good cut and quality. The brass buttons look a bit too shiny and new looking, but they can be replaced.
Quick delivery.

More kudos to Jerry! Yet another highly serviceable
KD item for the Western Desert (or Florida).
Detailing and fit are great. Brass fly buttons are a tad bothersome, may replace with other type.
thanks!

great reproduction - just one thing - button holes need to be a bit bigger to accomodate the brass buttons

These are great shorts, though they do fit high on the waist and thus if one is a little chubby a larger size is needed. From my perspective it is just a good reason to go for a run.
