Reviews Summary
Customers say these shorts are soft, comfortable, and come in appealing colors. The lightweight corduroy fabric feels great and washes well without needing ironing. Many appreciate the relaxed fit, mid-rise, and available lengths, particularly the 6" option. Common feedback addresses sizing inconsistencies—some note these run large and recommend sizing down, while others find them true to size. A few mention the waist can be loose, requiring a belt. Most reviewers are repeat purchasers who own multiple pairs in different colors.

    Great shorts

    I'm loving these shorts in the 6" length. In the past I bought the 4" ver, but the extra 2" is perfect. The fabric is also great: soft, comfortable, and a thin corduroy, so it doesn't feel heavy or hot at all.

    I do think the sizing has changed since my last purchase, since my new shorts are not loose but instead true to size. Instead of a boyfriend fit, these feel fitted, but still comfortable. The fabric doesn't stretch out much while wearing, as my older pair always does, so that's a bonus.

    Overall I would buy these again and I wish more colors were available, especially more shades of blue.

    So comfy and not too short!

    I loooove this. The waist is low-ish, but not enough to show my muffin top.

    The length is mid thigh (I am only 5' 4"). Extremely comfy and cool!

    I would buy one more pair...

    Sunshine Yellow

    These are my favorite all time shorts! Living in the Northeast makes for a short summer season- wish I could wear them all year!

    love the color/love the fabric

    These are the most awesome shorts. I own a pair in just about every color and several different lengths. The fit is great, the colors go with everything and the fabric is comfortable.

    My only issue is that there doesn't seem to be much standardization in sizes. I have several size 2s and some are very big and some are too tight and some fit just right.....
