Great quality skirt. Shorts are thin, loose, with poor quality fabric. The size is correct for me - skirt fits perfectly; legs are not thin so the shorts shouldn't be loose. The pouch is useful but does sag if you put keys and phone in it. I think I'll cut out the shorts and wear it either as a skirt or with bike shorts.

For green-thumbed gals on the go, there’s the Heirloom Gardening® Skort. Crafted from lightweight ripstop fabric with a smidge of stretch in a fetching faux-wrap silhouette, it’s sure to earn a perennial spot in your warm-weather wardrobe. Mesh undershorts cut the chafe, while a Crouch Gusset® gives you room to hunker in the hydrangeas without worry of wedgies. And of course, there are 2 back pockets cut deep and wide. But it’s the detachable pocket bag that really gilds the lily: the roomy interior features a knit phone pouch and pencil pocket, plus there’s a zipped pocket in the flap to keep small essentials close at hand. Wear it with pants and shorts too – this pouch can go anywhere you do! Just thread it onto the webbed belt and sashay through the shastas…

If you're planning on standing around looking cute and adorable these are for you. If you plan on actually living with these, look elsewhere. The flap is set too far to the front, so it slides or flips open when you sit or bend. Yes, there are shorts underneath, but that's not the point. The waist doesn't have additional adjustment, so you must wear a belt if you have a waist smaller than your hip ratio that is out of the norm. So if you go up a size to accommodate your hips, the waist is HUGE. There are NO POCKETS for your cell or wallet, so you MUST use the bag, which is cute, but not practical or safe when driving, car or tractor as it flops to the side, getting in the way of the seatbelt, or if you pull it into your lap, then it's in the way of the seat belt AND steering wheel. If you ran a farmers market stand, or did shows this would be great. It's just not for physical working situations. It's falling under the lines of 'put rural women in cute, but not functional clothing'. Come on Duluth, this is not how you started. We want clothing that is STRONG, lets us wear women's clothing, cut and fit for the curves of a woman, and is FUNCTIONAL in a working environment.
The concept is good. The mark was missed. The flap is minimal, so when you walk or sit, it flaps open to where it is distracting and uncomfortable. I wear a size 4 and the pouch will not fit right between the belt loops. The belt itself doesn't help as it gets pulled down with a minimal amount of weight. But since I do like the concept, I did some some modifications of my own. I switched the flap down lower. I am trying to figure out a way to make the pouch fit. And I will probably add another snap on the pouch to make it more secure as I do want to wear it when traveling. 1st time that I would not recommend.
Love, love, love…I've had shoulder reconstruction and have a hard time finding a purse, this pouch is perfect and I can wear it with other skorts with belt loops. Thank yo7 Duluth
Very comfortable and the pouch has great pockets. I like to wear it for my garden center job, holds my gloves, clippers, and even my water bottle comfortably. My only complaint is that if like it about and inch or two longer. I'd like it over my knees when I kneel down for extra protection.
