"I just discovered these great shorts. Everything ie perfect. The elastic waist, buttoned back pocket and the discrete zippered inner pocket make these my new favorite casual shorts . The fit and length are great. I ordered 4 more in different colors."
"I LOVE the way these shorts look. Th washed blue color is perfect and I love the way these shorts fit my bigger thighs, they’re very comfortable. I’m a big fan of the 7inch inseam as well, it feels like I’m showing off a good amount of my leg."
"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."
"Look good. More of a dull pink than a brighter lighter pink which I didn’t mind as much. Fast shipping."
"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."
"Very good fit, and good quality. Highly recommend. They look great and are design well. They are tighter than I expected, but that's ok. Not too tight."
"Bought a sizer larger compared to usual (M —> L). Resulted in a looser fit, which I was looking for. Would still go both ways depending on what I wanted."
"These are incredibly versatile. They dress up with a polo or button-down but are just as comfortable with a T-shirt. The fit is excellent, the material feels premium, and they have enough stretch to stay comfortable all day. They quickly became one of my go-to pairs."
"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"
