Wasn't a fan of the Stolen Goat shorts, too light/loose for my tastes.
For most of the reasons listed above I just don't really like overshorts full stop but I think on the back of a recommendation from Tracy on another thread I picked up some cheap Altura All Roads shorts which are relatively tapered, heavyweight enough fabric not to be flappy or rusty and useable pockets.
+1 Endura GV500
Light, not too baggy, good length. Shame the colours are limited and bland.
But the market is crying out for more gravel shorts.
Sportful Giaras here too. 30" waist and size small. Find it very hard to find shorts that wouldn't fit 2 of me in them but these are perfect. Good pockets too, use them for commuting.
Bought the Chapeau in medium off the back of this thread. Very light material, minimal styling touches and a tapered slim fit to the top of the knee. Exactly what I (and the OP) was after in terms of fit and weight.
Came with a free 'wash mitt', rather have haribo.
Another vote for GV500s. Only shorts so far where the fit is as expected for quoted size - others are huge in the waist.
Weird photo, but these are really good: https://www.blacks.co.uk/16482187/fox-mens-flexair-shorts-16482187
