About the pattern
Boardwalk is a structured A-line short in the denim tradition: scooped front pockets, back yokes, patch pockets, a real zip fly and a shaped waistband with belt loops. It is a good step up for sewists ready to try a fly front.
Women's sizes EU 34 to 52, high-waisted with an A-line leg.
