Converting these trousers into cropped trousers or Bermuda shorts... its childs play! The panel simply zips off. Designed to help children dress themselves, these pure cotton ripstop canvas trousers are very easy to slip on thanks to the elasticated waistb&. Plus, the adjustable touch n close tab fastening on the side means they can be adjusted to fit your childs shape. Extra clever detail: little eyelets at the base of the 2 pockets at the front & the 2 back flap pockets: no more sand accumulating in the pockets! We also love the small print on one of the back pockets. These trousers are really practical as they adapt to suit the weather. Mums love them!
