Top Sail 9" Shorts

Garment quality and waist size were fine but they were way, way too big in the legs. Unflatteringly bulky.

Prior to my personal purchase of these shorts, I performed a diligent research to find the right shorts at a the right price. Pretty much what everyone does these days. Of course, as part of this process, I did read the various reviews to further educate my shopping decision. As it is easier to truly make a decision, sometimes it is prudent to visit a Nordstrom Rack store near you for a physical, tangible, hands on feel and fit shopping experience. If you have this opportunity and the time, you should definitely try on a pair first to ensure the size, fit, and fabric are right for you. That is what I did, and glad that I took the opportunity to do so. Fortunately, there is a Rack store near me. They did not have my size, but I tried on the size 33. I liked the fabric, comfort, and fit. I knew I needed a size up, which a 34 is perfect for me. I understand that some people think that the shorts are a bit wide, maybe "flair" out a bit in the thighs, but I personally think that they fit me perfectly. I have a 6'1''/195/Athletic build and feel that these shorts deliver the quality, size, and color that I have been in search for across several similar brands. Great value for the current price. Also, from a color perspective, I did not want the shorts to be too white, and this Bleached Sand color absolutely meets my expectation and mathes well with my Tommy Bahama t-shirts and pullovers. Ideal for a variety of activities - from the course to the club house, to Greece!

Tommy Bahama, which I have worn for 35 years appears to be moving into tighter thigh slimmer look. I miss the traditional relaxed fit found in my older TB clothing with the same size.

Great looking shorts

My husband loves these shorts. Very comfortable.

Great fit and fabric
