Does anyone have any experience with linen shorts? Wondering about how they wear in the heat and how much they wrinkle compared to cotton-linen blends. Thanks,

Pure linen wrinkles like crazy and don't hold any shape whatsoever... they stretch and often end up looking pretty sloppy IMHO. Much better off with cotton/linen blends.

Thanks. Would darker colors tend to hide wrinkles better? Seems to make sense but I'm not sure...

I suppose [quote name="maraca2020" url="/t/350421/all-linen-natural-colored-shorts#post_6391256"]Also looking for these shorts if anyone has an idea of where to find them These appear to be seersucker (cotton - maybe a cotton blend). You can find similar just about anywhere, and if you dig the rolled up look you can probably buy seersucker trousers and have them cut and made into shorts. These shorts look particularly blousy and very full in the leg- note they are double pleated.
