Reviews Summary
Customers say these shorts are incredibly comfortable and have a perfect fit, with many owning multiple pairs in different colors. The soft, lightweight fabric feels great and washes well. Many appreciate the flattering 4-inch length and relaxed fit that works for various body types. Common feedback includes praise for the vibrant color options and quality construction. However, several reviews mention sizing inconsistencies between different colors and production runs, with some finding recent pairs smaller than previous purchases. A few customers note the waist can run large or require sizing adjustments. Most find them true to size with a loose, comfortable fit.

    Different color, different fit!

    I have over 4 pairs of these shorts which I have bought over the last few years. Each color has its own fit! That includes length and waist size and how high they ride up on my torso. They're still my fave short but it has taken a while to accept that some corduroy colors fits looser than others.

    Customer Service has been great helping me try a different color or size to rectify the situation.

    The Butter Soft Oahu short are very thin feeling and will tear easily. I stick with the original Oahu 4" short so they last as long as possible and I can do all my activities.

    So cute!

    These are so stinkin cute! The subtle embroidery is perfect. The color looks exactly like the picture. It's very pretty if you love green (which I do)! I'm about 25 lbs overweight so the length was shorter than I typically like. So I went and bought the same shorts in the 6" length so now I have both. Very flattering in the 6" especially.
