I LOVE these (and I hate shorts)

I haven't worn shorts in many years. I exist in Brooklyn and Retreat Linen pants all summer to avoid chub rub, sweaty sticky thighs, sunscreen, the constant readjusting, and just generally don't like the way shorts look/feel. But lately I've gotten hot, too hot, so I gave these a try and I love th...em! I don't love the way they look, but that's just me. The shorts feel great--the fit is loose without being baggy. I can move however I like without flashing anyone or having to constantly tug them down. They are light and comfortable. I wear a 10P in the Retreat Linen Pant and medium in these shorts is perfect. (I am short, chunky, and I have a big muscular booty and thighs). I got olive (which has a beautiful subtle stripe texture) and I'd happily purchase more in other colors (navy please?).

Nice Short Diminished by Supplu Issues

I loved the Retreat Linen Collection when I saw it. And I love the idea of an ensemble with a top, shorts, and pants! When I saw it in the store, the collection was made of a very nice fabric but no petite sizes were available. However, the short and pants were both back ordered beyond the 30-day re...turn window for the delivered shirt. When I requested an extension to return the shirt until I had received the companion pieces, I was flatly denied. I wound up returning the shirt. I will probably return the shorts and pants too, rather than repurchasing the shirt. I hope Athleta Customer Service will reconsider its strict policies when its own supply issues created the difficulties for its loyal customers.

Comments about Retreat Linen Mid Rise 4"" Short

I bought these for a summer trip to Greece and am super happy with them! The linen is comfortable for traveling in hot weather, and I like that the pockets zip so I can keep my phone in the pocket without being worried about it falling out or being stolen.

Ripped Immediately

The front seams ripped apart literally within minutes of putting them on. They were in my size and everything else I have in that size has been fine. They even felt a little big at the waist. I don't understand how they could sell something so flimsy, especially at this price.
