Solid shorts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Like the color a bunch. I have run into an issue with all sizes I have tried on for these shorts regarding the fly scrunching out when I button up the waist. I think the waistband is too tight on all sizes compared to how big the zipper/fly is, so when you sit, the fabric around the fly stands up in an unflattering way. Hope that can be improved.

Elastic waist ban move with the level of activity

Awesome shorts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Structured and nice black color. I was comparing these against other brands in a similar price range and these come out on top. They feel well-made and durable, and I like the zip-fly where other brands don't include that for the price. I'm not sure it needs the waist-band tie but it's good to have the option. The fabric is breathable and looks great.

Their great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love how it fits! Will definitely consider these shorts for future purchases. Price is a bit high unfortunately. Definitely not doable for lower income earners.

Super Comfy, Super stylish
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can wear these shorts in a very casual setting, but they also work well for sitting outside at dinner on a hot summer evening. The elastic waistband helps in the event I am feeling full from a big day of eating/drinking.
