My Aunt in U.K. bought the shorts for me last year. I have it in white color too. The baggy cut pitches me into the outgroup among Malaysians living in K.L. I did not quite fancy them, despite them hanging easy and comfortable on my hips.

Out of curiosity, I had a look at the brand this morning. It’s an Eddie Bauer!

My aunt has a knack at shopping for bargain prices and finding good quality clothes. Her daughter worked at Marks & Spencer so half my wardrobe is made up of Mark & Spencer summer wears. One year, she bought me a good pair of jeans. ‘One Pound!’ she proudly proclaimed.

There is an Eddie Bauer outlet where Eddie Wong the Cooknengr lives. I went looking in there, twice, without knowing I actually have them at home!

Here in K.L. many of us go gaga while shopping at Forever21, Zara and TopShop, swept away by the thrills of fast fashion. But fast fashion means, quality is always compromised. Whereas brands like Marks & Spencer and Eddie Bauer are made of better and longer lasting fabric. Their designs are simple, so you don’t have to worry about falling out of trend.

This pair of shorts can easily last 10-20 years. Just wait and see.

By the way, which picture do you prefer? The original or the brightened one?
