I have a pair of Polo Ralph Lauren Newport straight fit chinos shorts.
These are great. For me, that is. We all have our preferences, but me, I do
prefer a more hugging fit to my chinos shorts, and a shorter length. Somewhere between 7-8"
is ideal. Now, the Newport model is great. Its not too slim, but yet not too baggy either.
They tend to stretch out when used, but overall they maintain their fit quite nicely.

Regretably, both of these shorts are now ready for retirement.
As this model is no longer for sale (?) I need a replacement.
I wish I could find a pair of shorts (chinos) which are:

A. Not extremely slim, yet not baggy. Somewhere in between a slim and regular fit.
B. Shorter length. Perhaps 7-8".

My thighs are pretty much normal. Im 190 cm, 77 kg. My waist is 32".

Any ideas or suggestions here? The Newport model (Ralph Lauren) was a great fit for me..
Very disappointed to see its not for sale anymore. Yet, I havent lost all hope to find something
similar. Oh, and also a must; Decent quality. I use my shorts a lot during the summer, even though
I live in Norway.

Appreciate all inputs here. :)
