What are these shorts made of?

They are cotton French terry, a soft loopback knit. That makes them comfortable and breathable but more casual than woven twill shorts.

How do the sizes run?

They come in S, M, L and XL with a regular straight fit and a drawstring waist. The drawstring helps, but check the size chart since boys between sizes may need to size up.

Are these shorts good for hot weather?

Yes. French terry is a midweight knit that breathes well, and the straight fit keeps them from clinging. They suit summer days and casual play.

What can I pair with a madras plaid short?

Keep it simple: a solid white, navy or green polo or tee. Busy prints will clash with the plaid.

Is this the same as Polo Ralph Lauren's woven madras shorts?

No. These are knit French terry, softer and more casual than the brand's woven cotton madras shorts. Choose these for comfort, the woven ones for a crisper look.
