Little Boys Silver Ridge™ Novelty Short 3 5 1 1
Quality design, but sizing all wrong Material is good, style is contemporary and well-liked by my son. Major complaint relates to sizing. My expectation is that a manufacturer is CONSISTENT in their sizing, particularly in children's sizes. Depending on the specific product, Columbia appears to vary widely. The Little Boys Silver Ridge™ 2012 runs SIGNIFICANTLY larger per labeled size than similar products in prior years, and is inconsistent with another boy's shorts product offered in 2012. Columbia should strive for at least one of three conditions: a) manufacture true to size; b) if unable to do a), then at least show consistency from year to year; c) if unable to do a) and b), at least show consistency within a given year's line!!
