Amazon EssentialsMen's 6" Inseam Drawstring Short

Leg area Wide as hell

I was really looking forward to these shorts. I carefully researched all my options and decided to go with Goodthreads because of the price and the good reviews.The product image is incredibly deceiving. The model wearing them must have legs like tree trunks, because these are ridiculously wide all the way through. They feel like an oversized pair of boxers much more than shorts. I have no doubt the one shorts in the image were hemmed in.Going to try returning these, except the packaging states they need to be unworn and unopened in order to be returnable (would've been nice to know that earlier). I'm sure this will lead to a fun conversation with Amazon support.

This is a review for a pair of large light chambray 6" cotton shorts.I am happy that fashion trends are allowing American men to wear shorter shorts again. I am 5'8" and 200#. I wear 36 waist pants and jeans and size large shirts and t-shirts. So, short and stocky. When I wear longer shorts, I look even shorter and wider. These shorts are fashion forward for the hip crowd but traditional enough for other folks as well.The fit is comfortable, not too loose, not too tight. The cotton fabric is fairly lightweight and feels like a chambray shirt. The side pockets are deep so I don't worry about items falling out. The back pocket is deep. The velcro tab is sometimes difficult to fasten but items stay in securely. The elastic goes all the way around and holds the shorts up but if I put things in the pockets the pants will slide down if I don't tie the drawstring. The string is a heavy blue and white cord so it coordinates with the color of the shorts themselves. The string is long enough to easily tie but not too long to distract. If you wear an untucked shirt, others are not likely to see it.I previously purchased the same shorts in the 8" length in gray. Those are no longer available. The only difference is the 2" shorter length. The 6" shorts have the same sturdy construction and features as the 8" shorts.Would I buy more of these? Absolutely. I keep looking to see if they're going on sale so I could add at least one more pair to my closet.

I ordered these since I had a pair like them by a brand that was discontinued. I was afraid I would be disappointed that they weren't the same but they are actually even better because they are a little weight material. Love them.

The quality is good. The price is OK. But there is no style to the shorts. I don't know why retailers can't design shorts with more interesting fabrics and attractive styling. The selections are always blah blah blah.

They fit perfectly! They are a good weight, not too thin not too heavy! I have a 40 waist and ordered the xtra large and they fit well. Would recommend! No liner so can be worn with or without underwear.

These shorts are perfect- feel nice, fit nice and didn't cost as much as other stores and the quality is better than expected considering the cost. Recommend to anyone wanting a light weight pair of summer shorts.

Very comfortable. Wash well. Fit perfect. Highly recommend.

Great shorts, with 6inch inseam even though the title changes to 7inch at checkout??Good weight material for summer and most of all 100% cotton (which genius decided it was sensible to fill summerwear with sweat inducing plastics??). There is even a bonus back pocket-the description claimed there is no back pocket.

Read about the shorts legs being narrow and legs being "flappy". As far as I am concerned, even with "cyclists legs" - so large thighs - these shorts were just right. Now to see how well they last, although the stitching seems robust.

Size around the waist was ok but the design/cut is a little old fashioned, very baggy around the legs and backside.

Great material, great fit. Very pleased with my two pairs of shorts, wife told my to order another couple of pairs. Not only have they passed the "wife test" they have passed mine as well.A little bit later - hsve ordered another two pairs.

These are good for the price, but I found there wasn't much movement in the hips. They look good, and fit ok, apart from the hips
