"These have quickly become one of my favorite casual shorts. The light blue color is easy to pair with almost anything, the fabric is comfortable, and the 5. 5” inseam gives them a modern fit without feeling too short. Great for vacations, weekends, or just being outside. I’ll definitely be ordering more colors."
"I never thought I’d wear short shorts again, let alone in my 50s, but these guys fit my quads perfectly and are as comfortable as a pair of boxers. I have 4 pairs now and any time I wear other shorts, they just don’t feel quite right."
"I got these for my husband - he loves them and they look great on him. The elastic waistband doesn’t look elastic at all which is such a plus for form and comfort. Super happy! Had to get an XL instead of an L, but the return/exchange process was a breeze. Very happy all around."
"The shorts have gotten many a compliment at work, so much that I’ve been requested to wear them for photos to feature on the website"
"These look so great on my 20 year old son. he has them in 3 colors now. They can look wrinkled but he can iron them if he needs them to look nice. But a little wrinkled also goes well with a t and berks."
"Love the feel and stretch. The quality is amazing as always, and the color is perfect!"
"I've been wearing Chubbies since 2015. I've had many of the same 5" inseam shorts since then. From college to now, they've become even grippier. Going with a 7" inseam still stays above the knee, and sizing up was a life saver. For reference, I wear size 34-36 jeans and khakis, I had to exchange the "34"s for 40's to get the perfect fit, so go up a few sizes from what you normally wear."
"Love the color. Can also tell that high quality materials were used. Fits true to size."
"I didn't know how badly I needed these shorts in this color in my life. I'm a better person because of them."
