The physical feeling of he fabric is very nice, it has a great weight to it. I love the color too, but the sizing is just a little big around the waist. I'm too tall to order a size down because the shorts would be super-shorts haha. It would be nice to have a third set of buttons to cinch the waist, but that's no big deal. I still love it a whole lot, and can't wait to wear it on my University trip to France!
