Michel Rouen pair

One flat-front cut in a lightweight water-resistant weave, waist 30 to 42, with eight pockets including a zip one.

Eight pockets sounds like a gimmick until you count what a round actually asks you to carry: two gloves, a rangefinder, a phone, tees, a ball or three, a scorecard, a car key. The zip pocket is where the key goes, because the one thing you cannot afford to shake loose on a cart path is the thing that gets you home. The weave is light and shrugs off dew and a light shower rather than a downpour, and the flat front is what keeps these on the right side of the line between golf shorts and gym shorts. They read fine at a table afterwards. Order the waist you wear in trousers. The hem sits just above the knee on most men, which is where the club dress code and comfort happen to agree.

Prices are the figures from our last update, and we refresh them on a schedule, which is the least glamorous part of the Michel Rouen routine, and the figure at the till is the one that counts.

03Before you order

Questions about Michel Rouen golf shorts

Where the hem sits, what goes in the eight pockets, and how the waist sizing runs.

Can you wear a belt with Michel Rouen golf shorts?

They are cut as a flat-front short with a conventional waistband, so a belt goes on in the normal way. That is the thing keeping them on the right side of the line between golf shorts and gym shorts, and it is why they read fine at a table afterwards.

Will Michel Rouen shorts be too warm for you in July?

The weave is light and it sheds moisture rather than holding it, which is the part that matters at ninety degrees. What no fabric does is lower the air temperature, and any brand telling you otherwise is selling you a feeling rather than a short.

What waist should you order in Michel Rouen shorts?

The waist you wear in trousers, 30 to 42. There is one leg length on this cut and the hem sits just above the knee on most men, so the waist is the only decision you have to make.
