Excellent elastic shorts

So, I do wish they didn't have a drawstring, but the drawstring is long and thin enough to be easily tucked down the front without worrying about them coming back out or causing discomfort if you don't want to look like a ninny with some huge bow tie jutting out above your groin, and it's damn hard to find elastic waisted shorts without a drawstring (talk about a complete lack of faith on shoppers actually buying the right size by the garment industry), so I won't knock these for having them. 7 or 8 inch shorts are what all shorts should be, and these 8 inch shorts are true to size. The shape is good, as well. You know how some shorts are shaped terribly, so when you actually walk, they bulge/bunch in weird and super unflattering ways (probably 50% of "dress" shorts, and 90% of pleated shorts, as an example). These don't. I would love the 7 inch buttoned Good Threads shorts to come in 8 inch; that would be my perfect short, but these are about as close as one can get to that theoretical perfection. I can't speak much for longevity, but they're dirt cheap, so I'm not all that concerned. I do wish there were more color variations though, so I could own even more of these.

Comfortable ,look nice, launder well, has pockets...Hey Amazon! Where are these for women?

Men's? Hey Amazon! Where are these for women? They are 100% cotton for those of us allergic to synthetics or simply prefer cotton. They have useable pockets; a draw string & elastic waist for fit. They are longer-- why are women's shorts all cut shorter. I prefer a longer short to short-shorts. These are a nice medium weight-- not so light you could see thru them, and not so heavy they're too warm in hot weather. These are twill so a more polished looking than cotton knit. They're comfortable and launder well. I air dry all 100% cotton. Recommend for men and women.

Being able to wear the shorts around the house paid off nicely. I bought 4 pairs and sent back 3

This was my first attempt at using Amazon Wardrobe. My store shopping often fails to end up with the right size since you are only trying them on for a few seconds. Being able to wear the shorts around the house paid off nicely. I bought 4 pairs and sent back 3. These are the ones I kept. I then turned around and bought 2 more identical pairs. Very comfortable since you can adjust the waits tightness.

Nice shorts for the money

I am 6'1" tall with a 36" waist and the size large fit me perfectly. The drawstring feature leaves plenty of options for cinching them up so they feel comfortable. I do a lot of walking as part of my daily exercise routine and was looking for something besides gym shorts. These fit the bill perfectly. They look much nicer, have pockets and are very lightweight and comfortable to move around in. There is a nice variety of colors to choose from and the price can't be beat for this type of quality. I am a true believer in Amazon products and am never hesitant about purchasing anything branded under their name. The quality to price ratio just can't be beat.

I'm short and fat and FINALLY found shorts that fit and are not baggy.

I'm short 5.9 and weigh 240 with a 42'' waist and 28.5 inseam. Yea I know it's time for a diet. I have a horrid time getting short that fit for the obvious reasons. I just got these and put them on. I'm not sure I ever want to take them off. They are a perfect fit for me. I'm going to order several other pairs right now. I just love them. They are very comfortable and actually come a little bit ABOVE my knees. For me it's very hard to find shorts that fit, are the right length, and don't look like a "sack" on me where I have to fold the edges under my legs when I'm sitting in public because of being so baggy. For the price, these are outstanding!!!! To heck with it, they would be outstanding at twice the price as far as I am concerned.

His phone fit great. One pocket in back with Valero closure

My 15 year old son got these in 3 colors and loves them. He is 5’10” and weighs about 130. The Small fit him perfectly. VERY soft material. Front pockets are deep. His phone fit great. One pocket in back with Valero closure. The ones pictured are the olive colored pair.

MY FAVORITE SHORTS!

I was unsure when ordering these at first, but they have become my favorite pair of shorts to throw on for no reason. They aren't dress shorts, but I love these things. I wear them all the time just running around town. They are very similar to Patagonia Baggies. I wear a 34-36 waist and I ordered a Large. I am 6'2" and they hit me right above the knee.

Sizing, cost and comfort are the deal makers on Amazon Essentials!!

At 77 I'm looking for comfort more than style. Amazon Essentials fills the bill. Nice everything from comfort to price these clothes are the cat's meow. I'm the proud owner of 4 pair of shorts and 1 pair of slacks. I'm not surprised that these are Amazon brand of clothes that I like. They seem to do everything else right!!!

Amazon is spot on with colors and sizing in these shorts.

First thing that most mfg don't get in the age of iPhones is pockets deep enough. Amazon has learned from the mistakes of traditional "name" designers. Everything else...fit, stitching, fabric, design and cut...is what I expected. As easy as Amazon makes returns, it's still a bother. Not needed for these. I matched the 2 pair I bought against a very similar pair I bought at Walmart for a bit less. Wally's fabric wasn't quite as nice, fit was a tad oversize compared to the Amazon shorts. Walmart had 1 color choice. I'll be buying a couple more from Amazon.

Great shorts!

These are great shorts! Inseam is nice, not too long and not too short, on mine they measure". Nice velcro closure on back right side pocket plus nice average sized side pockets. Color, Khaki, is right on the spot, much different than what shows on website, which on my screen looks almost grey... Just ordered another pair!
