Good Buy...But sort of SHORT shorts...

By Just June from Richmond VA on 12/06/2009

Pros:
Comfortable, Flattering, Nice Color, Stylish, Washes Well
Best Uses:
Casual Wear
Describe Yourself:
Trendy/Stylish Dresser
Waist:
Feels true to size
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I didn't realize that these shorts would be so short. They are okay, but was expecting longer. Definitely size up--I usually am an 8, but sized up (due to reviews). The 10s have room to spare--I am sure that the 8s would have been too tight AND too short!

These are great shorts. The waist feels just a little too big. I've used these shorts for hiking and for river rafting. They dry quickly, and are very comfortable.

Nice Shorts

By Cubbie from Salt Lake City, UT on 05/16/2009

Pros:
Comfortable, Flattering, High Quality, Nice Color, Stylish
Best Uses:
Casual Wear
Describe Yourself:
Classic Dresser
Length:
Feels true to length
Waist:
Feels true to size
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I really like these shorts. Because these shorts are 100% cotton, I was afraid without any spandex, they would be binding and uncomfortable, but they're not. They are stylish and a nice shade of tan. I wish there were more colors to order. They run small so order a size up.
