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.

    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

    Disappointing

    Recent purchase based on previous experience with Oahu 10” size 4. My December,25 purchase of size 4 fit perfectly, but the most recent purchase has a much smaller fit (more like a 2).

    For years, problems with inconsistent sizing has been my main complaint with CD products. Typically, I order the same item in several sizes; keep one and return the other. This workaround is time consuming for me and the endlessly helpful CD staff.
