Terry pro deal

I think it may be done on purpose. Notice that the waist band is cut on the bias. I think it is supposed to have a mixed up, relaxed look.

That bugs me to no end.
Large patterns that land one on each breast are even worse.

I think you are right.

You are probably right, but it still hurts my eyes to look at it...different strokes I guess

I agree that it looks sloppy and like they are of poor quality--especially with the seam going down the front of the leg. If it was on the side it wouldn't be so noticeable. They are cute shorts but don't think they are worth $62 IMO

I don't know; I don't think there is anything wrong with the shorts. So, the plaid doesn't match. It kind of looks like the front part of the design is a panel and the rear is separate. I love the "look" of these shorts and almost ordered them. I have another (solid) pair in the same style, and they are very flattering and comfortable, with or without the chamois liner.
I just think it's an urban cycling look and unless you are a seamstress, it wouldn't make a difference. If they were regular, business attire pants, then, of course, the seams should match. But here, I don't think it's a big deal.
And that price is pretty good. Some of the shorts in this style are over $100.00.

I just cannot see myself spending $100 for shorts other than the ones I would ride centuries in, and even then it would be hard to swallow. It seems strange to me for urban-hipster-downdress-shabbychic clothes to be so expensive. When I do my errands by bike, I simply wear some old khaki shorts (or old khaki's that I've cut into shorts) over my regular cycling shorts. I'm sure I could find some pastel plaid bermudas for the same purpose for waaaaay under $62!

And the unmatched plaid is annoying now that it's been pointed out, but I wouldn't have cared before this thread was started. Now I'll never be able to tolerate unmatched plaids!
