Has anyone seen corduroy shorts?

I’m looking for some cord shorts that are a bit balloony/baggy shape! Only ones I can find look quite straight/fitted but I’m looking for something soft and loose fitting.
Anyone spotted anything?
I like a deep colour but would be happy with black, navy, burgundy, just not bright and jazzy really! No real budget in mind but not looking to spend £2,000 on a pair of winter shorts (would wear with tights).

I got some from Uniquo years ago, in a lovely plumb colour. They were great, and I’ve been searching for replacements ever since (even though DH said they made me look like Christopher Robin).

I don’t think I’d mind looking like Christopher Robin, and I’d remind dh that he looked like Winnie the poo 😂

thanks @UpMyself but none of those are quite right really, I want them above the knee - will keep looking and also check out Uniqlo just in case.

Actually quite annoyed with myself as I saw some in a shop before Christmas, wasn’t looking for them, absent mindedly thought they were nice and carried on shopping - can I bloody remember where I was? Of course not!

Uniqlo have some in the men’s section.

@TheChosenTwo , search for cord shorts.
If they are too long, you could hem them.

If you can sew, it's quite easy to make a divided skirt. You don't even need a pattern.

They have cord shorts every year - the above are in the outlet section, together with another model. When spring arrives more shorts will arrive at passenger too, so worth keeping an eye out if you like the style.
