The Amazon Essentials Men’s Slim-Fit 9” Shorts are an excellent choice for those seeking both style and functionality. The weight of the fabric is perfect—light enough to ensure comfort during hot weather, yet sturdy enough to feel durable and well-made.

When it comes to washability, these shorts perform admirably, retaining their shape, color, and integrity even after multiple washes. The stability of the fit is noteworthy; they stay comfortably in place throughout the day without any need for constant adjustment.

The pockets are well-designed and spacious, providing ample room for carrying essentials without adding bulk. Additionally, the zipper is robust and reliable, operating smoothly without any snags or issues.

Considering the quality and features, these shorts offer exceptional value for money. They combine comfort, durability, and practicality in a stylish slim-fit design, making them a fantastic addition to any wardrobe.

I really like these shorts! Super comfortable and durable. only downfall is they run small around the waist. I ordered my normal size of 32" and they are super tight. I would strongly recommend ordering a size or two bigger then what you normally wear!

Fit great. Good color. The primary button is not sewn on very well and looks like it wont last long. They are a good pair of shorts for the price though.

My husband was in desperate need of new basketball shorts after losing weight. I wanted some simple and plain looking ones. These definitely hit both marks. He said they are super comfortable and true to size. Also light very weight. They look great and not cheap like some brands he's had in the past. He asked me to get a few more pairs in other colors. Can't beat the price.

I surely did not purchase these for the color. It is more of a dark salmon color than red, but still ugly. And at $7 and change before government theft (AKA taxes) it was worth getting. I normally wear a 36 but have found lately that 36 feels big. So I thought I would try 34. They do fit but just a wee tight in the rear and crouch. But still comfortable. Maybe a 35 (if they make them and they don't) or a stretchy 34 would be perfect.

They're a keeper.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice shorts, they run small, no stretch
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2024
I recently purchased the Amazon Essentials Men's Slim-Fit 9" Shorts, hoping for a sharp, well-fitting addition to my summer wardrobe. While the shorts do look nice and have a crisp appearance, I encountered some significant issues with their sizing.

Firstly, the shorts have no give in the waistline and tend to run small. This lack of stretch makes them uncomfortable, especially if you're in between sizes or prefer a bit more flexibility. I find it frustrating that a 33" waist can vary so much between different brands, and even within the same brand depending on the day of the week they were made. Consistency in sizing is crucial, and unfortunately, these shorts fall short in that department.

I purchased two pairs in different colors, expecting them to fit the same. However, one pair fit just right, while the other was too tight to button. This inconsistency is disappointing, especially when men's sizes are supposed to be actual measurements, not some arbitrary number. It’s challenging to find reliable sizing, and I wish Amazon Essentials would do better in ensuring uniformity across their products.

Despite these issues, the shorts do have a stylish look and are made of decent quality material. If you can find a pair that fits you well, they might be worth the purchase. However, the inconsistent sizing and lack of stretch in the waist make them a less reliable option for online shopping.

Overall, while the Amazon Essentials Men's Slim-Fit 9" Shorts have potential, their sizing inconsistencies are a major drawback. For a brand that aims to provide affordable basics, they need to improve their sizing accuracy to meet customer expectations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Fit, Great Quality for the Price, YKK Zipper!
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2023
I am 5'7"-5'8", about 185 lbs. These shorts fit me just right, but if I were to gain 5-10 extra lbs, I would have to go up in waist size.

These shorts have an excellent "fit." The length is perfect for me. They fit me above the knee, but not too high up where they look like short-shorts. The pockets are deep enough to help keep your items from falling out. Also, I notice they have a YKK brand zipper, which are sturdy, and don't de-rail. I don't see them much anymore, so I was pleasantly surprised with that quality of craftsmanship. Finally, these shorts have a nice, simple label with the waist size, and another one with the style "e.g., slim" which I find helpful in case I was to re-buy this or a similar product.
