Is anyone interested in these size 32 cotton buckle-back shorts?

I'm planning to return them to the seller as they were on the pricier side for shorts and there's no extra fabric to let out the waist. Just wanted to run it by the forum, in case anyone's interested.
(ps - chino pics coming, Brad! sorry for delay!!!)

Beautiful. If they were a US 9.5EE they'd be be mine. But then again if they were 9.5EE you wouldn't be selling them...
There must be some takers for them, surely.
Just listed a lovely L/XL Pendleton Topster over on Ebay with a low starting bid and no reserve for anyone interested.

In that case, I'm interested!
I'll be on your side of the border in two weeks time, in fact.
A few concerns:
1) The shoulder width comes up a touch narrow for 38 from my experience; how are the shoulders constructed? Is there any structure whatsoever; minor padding or heavy lining? 17.5" is typically the sweet spot for me, though I suppose a quarter inch less could work for a really lightweight cotton sack. That's certainly the case for my old Topsters, as example. Could you please offer a bit more context: what's your height/weight and what size do you normally take; how does it fit you in comparison to whatever size you typically wear?
2) The sleeves seem to indicate that it's possibly sized long. Would you mind posting length from top of collar to the hem, straight down the back seam?
3) Would you take CAD (how much) and where are you located, out of curiosity?
Thanks very much!
Also, it's presumably in flawless shape, right?
If so, and if all of the above work out too, I'll gladly take it.
I will take some photos of myself wearing it for context.
I am 5'11" about 165lbs, no shoulder padding at all. no damage or wear that I've seen. I can send you a whole bunch of detailed pictures (inside and out) and you can judge.
sure CAD is fine
pm me your email address.
You can have dibs on it until you decide for certain if it's a "yes" or "no" for you.

Thanks bud. PMing you with deets now and based on your specs (I'm 5'9" and same weight) it sounds like it'll probably be a yes.
Also, I've passed on Clyde's seersucker if anyone else is interested. It's a beautiful jacket but it looks to be a 38L, much to my dismay.
The YR 5-pockets look nice. I wish they were just a bit bigger in the waist. Looks like a 34 would be perfect for me. How would you say the legs fit, especially below the knee? Tapered, skinny, or fuller cut? Thanks.

Thanks, Oliver. They look great. Unfortunately, I am a solid 34.
Woof's got dibs right now but I was thinking $80 plus shipping. They retail for $112 + tax/sh.
Update: the size 33 five pockets have been sold.
Yellow Rat five pockets in size 32 are still avail. Brand new, bagged & tagged. $80
