I buy a lot of clothes for my husband, as he finds shopping nearly intolerable. He is very picky, so ordering online is a gamble. These shorts are so nice, though! He really likes them. They are good quality, and very slimming, without feeling tight or binding. The material is sturdy, and a bit forgiving, but won't stretch out. I found the 1st pair on sale for under $5.00 which is why I tried them, virtually no risk. Found the 2nd pair on sale for a bit more, and snagged them right away. If you are accustomed to purchasing shorts at a department store, these would be on the higher end of the quality you would find. The only complaint my hubby had was the smaller pocket in front of the regular pocket on the right side. I explained that it is for something smaller, like a couple of quarters or a single key, but he correctly countered that getting small items into the pockets is not the problem, getting them back out again is. OK, he has a point. Otherwise, these have been a very successful purchase, and I will keep an eye out for when they go on sale. I am simply too “tacaña” to purchase anything at full price, generally but my hubby does not favor thrifting like I do. These days, thrifting is not really a responsible option, so I am glad that I can find sales sometimes on Amazon!
