Reviews Summary
Customers say these shorts are exceptionally soft, comfortable, and well-made with a flattering high-rise fit and longer 10-inch length. Many appreciate the deep pockets, stretch in the fabric, and versatile styling that works for various activities from errands to travel. The corduroy material is described as lightweight and perfect for summer wear. However, sizing inconsistency emerges as a significant concern, with many noting the high-rise style runs smaller than regular versions and that identical sizes vary between colors. Some find the waist too tight or snug, particularly around the upper waist area. Despite sizing challenges, customers frequently purchase multiple pairs in different colors, praising the flattering fit and comfortable feel that makes these their favorite shorts.

    staple

    this is my fifth pair Oahu shorts. I always get compliments on them. I am 5'8" and 160 pounds. Size 10 fits me like a glove. I often walk long distances and these stay with me and never loosen up and fall down. They fit perfect when I put them on and they fit perfect when I take them off. 🩷 I said they were true to size because they're true to carve sizing. I often wear a size larger in other brands, but a carve 10 always fits me perfectly...

    Not same as other Oahu shorts - much smaller

    I have several pair of 7’ Oahu shorts that are my go to shorts. They fit perfection loose enough. I have an athletic build 5’6 150lbs and wear a size 8. The 8 in the 10’ are way too tight and they do not stretch out at all. Very disappointed as it was final sales so no returns.

    Always love the Oahu!

    Long time fan of the Oahu shorts in all lengths, 4”, 6”, and 10”. Very happy to get the 10” in the as pictured Hydro color. For me, my usual size 0 was perfect and the longer length provides that nice extra coverage.

    Yes!

    Love the bright color corduroy. Other reviews said to order size down and I would agree. I wear a 4 normally and the size 2 fits perfect
