Home Made Pendleton Indian print light-weight wool shorts

Just finished these bad boys...what you all think? Any suggestions for improvement?

Sorry dude. The print is neat but it doesn't work as shorts.

Congrats on your new shorts! I wish I knew how to sew... I dig the print but I'm afraid I'm more of a fan of the more tailored look, esp. with large patterns like that that need taming. Shorter hem to the knee or above knee, the crotch seems very low, legs seem too roomy. The baggy shorts would look better worn with a more fitted top.

You should ask the SW&D ppl too if you haven't already.

Thanks for the advice...I was hoping they wouldn't come out as baggy too. but that didnt work out to well.
You think that print would look better as a coat?

use them as kindling for a grand bonfire. but make sure you resist the urge to chant and whollop around it.

+1 to these comments. If you retailored them to be more fitting, I think they would look very nice.

You cut up a Pendleton hand-loomed blanket? oh the shame...

They're toddler-ific.
