Do John Lewis REALLY think anyone is going to buy these school shorts with THIS picture...?

JL School Shorts

The view from behind is tagged 'lifestyle image'

Not for my boys, methinks....

Is it just me, or is it hard to find nice school shorts.
Don't like cargo pockets, and everything else just seems, well, naff.....

Next do nice ones.

I do like the cargo pockets though!

Mo2 · 26/03/2007 22:55

And while I'm at it, can anyone explain which shorts on the Next website are the 'flat front' and which are 'cargo' - I thik the pictures are wrong??

Agree Cod, but which are the fat front on the website? Is the picture right, or the title??

Mo2 · 26/03/2007 23:03

"fat front" Those will be for obese kids then....

LOL what a funny picture, poor lad! Much too big for such little legs.

Mo2 · 26/03/2007 23:06

ggirl - I sort of agree, but 'sweet' is not a look my 132cm gangly 7.5 year old DS is aiming for...

OP posts:
brimfull · 26/03/2007 23:09

guess not,now my ds starting reception would look sweet in them.

Mo2 · 26/03/2007 23:18

Cod - I'm still confused - the ones on the right hand picture are described as 'Combat Style' but have no pockets? (These are the ones I want - as pictured)
Aren't the titles muddled? What's 'combat style' if it isn't pockets on the side?
