I've ordered these over a year ago and they fit great. I just ordered six more pairs and they are soooo long. Well past my knees. I just returned them. I'll have to look at other styles on your website.

I've been buying these shorts for over 10 years and they've always been a nice classic cut pair of shorts. They were always on the slightly bigger side but, I preferred that. The problem now is the cuts aren't consistent and two of the pairs I bought were tight in the thighs and lower in the back. I couldn't deal with that so I tossed them out. However, even of the four I'm keeping, two are borderline uncomfortable but, I will keep and wear them for now. So, this is the last time I'll be buying these. It's a shame because they were perfect for lounge around the house type shorts.

I can't tell you how the shorts are yet because shipping is taking 5+ weeks. Not sure how or why but no warning prior to ordering. I will think twice before ordering again.

Some of the colors were not 100% cotton!! They were a 50/50 blend.

I bought pork 14 pairs of the same brand from the same vendor back in 2017 they were great but wore out.
I purchased the same number about a month ago when they arrived I noticed they were using a very cheap waistband material that does not hold up well after several washes

I tried to cut the tag off (right in the middle of my butt) - and the seam ripped apart! Terrible placement! Now I need a new pair....

I was so disappointed in these, I have a pair of Russell that a love that are like the old gym shorts, jersey type material and when I get these I was hoping it was the same it was not and again the length was so much longer than the ones I already have

These are advertised as being 100 percent cotton. Instead, they are a 50 percent cotton/50 percent polyester blend. It's not that hard to get the description correct, and there's no excuse for this. I rarely, if ever return merchandise, but this is one time I'm going to.

The sizing was WAY off, compared to the labels on the shorts in our drawer. The waist had to have been four inches larger.

Elastic waist band is useless. I put my wallet and keys in the pocket and the shorts fell right to my ankles.

A real pile of crap. I bought several pair of these shorts a while back and they were much higher quality with a nice draw string. This garbage I just bought has a miserable cheap draw string that makes it nearly impossible to tie tight around your waist. Cheap thin material on this latest version. You get a big fat ZERO on this big waste of money. Send them to the trash can!

The products received are the cheapest junk I have ever seen. Goods previously received were of high quality. No longer! Bye!

I bought six pair of these shorts . My husband wore only Russell cotton shorts for over 10 years. These feel cheaper , scratchy , not cut the same. He won't wear them .

Both pairs have thread coming loose from the waisteband- will likely only last a few washes- worst money ever spent on clothing. These were literally falling apart before I took them out of the bag they were shipped in- congrats on creating the worlds worst pair of shorts.

These are thin, very light weight. Elastic is poor, definitely have to use the drawstring to keep them up. Drawstring is poor too. Looks just like the ones in the sweats that broke the 1st time I wore them.

I ordered 4 packs of underwear assuming that I would receive a full variety of colors, instead the stocker chose to include the same 3 colors in each pack sent
