Meripex Apparel Men's 5.5" Inseam Elastic-Waist Shorts

As of this review, I've been wearing these shorts regularly for almost a month - say at least 15 wears given we're in the hot part of the year. They are either on me or being washed.They are exactly what I wished for: well-made, fit as expected and they look good. I don't feature the current trend in short that makes me look like a smaller basketball player due to them coming down almost to my knees. For me, shorts should be short - no more than 6" or 15 cm. These are 5.5" or maybe 13 cm. In other words, perfect.I like everything about this garment and can find nothing to complain about. I'm happy and if this sort of short is what you're looking for, it's likely you'll enjoy them too.

Been looking for some shorts that actually look like shorts to wear around town. These are perfect. Got the navy blue ones in size large, I'm 6'1" and 203 lbs, and they fit perfectly.Update 12 March 2019, after 4 months with these shorts:I now have 4 pair of these shorts, and they are mostly comfortable. The ones that "fit as expected" are great, but it seems each set is made different than the others. I have a navy blue short that is really comfy, but the back pocket is shallow and will barely hold my small wallet. I have a red set that seems like the crotch was made too shallow, and it does NOT fit comfortably. My yellow set is the best, comfy, length is perfect, and back pocket holds my wallet.Overall, I really like the shorts, just wish they were uniform in their creation. It's hit or miss for most of them.

I wear these as everyday shorts for much of the year. I have bought them several times in various colors. The pockets are deep and secure, so I can carry all my stuff. They launder well. The fabric is rugged and stands up to active use.I'm 5'11" and 160# with a 32" waist. The 29-31 medium fits perfectly. I've worn a lot of 5" shorts from a lot of makers. These are the best.

Good price, but they weren't as nice as the other shorts I have purchased from here. These shorts aren't as stretchy around the waste band. Brand seems a bit inconsistent in their size and quality. My previous shorts were great but this pair in-particular was not great. Make sure they work for you before and return them if they're not what you want. Meripex has great customer service.

I first bought the XX-Large, because of sizing reviews, and they fit OK, but when I leave the house putting phone, keys, wallet, etc. in the pockets, they fall down due to the weight. In the XX-Large the back pocket is plenty deep for my wallet, but again they fall down. So, I bought the X-Large, and they fit good too, and they don't fall down when I load up the pockets, but the back pocket in the X-Large is not deep enough for my wallet to go all the way in. Very disappointing, because otherwise they would be fine.

I have been looking for shorts for awhile now but they were all either too long and tight or short and tight. I finally found a decent pair but they were too expensive. These shorts are a good mix of being short, yet gives you room to move around in them, while being affordable. The material is good quality and comfortable to wear. The stretchy waist, allows you to wear the shorts with a belt or without which I like.

sizes are all messed up and all over the place. First pair I purchased a couple years ago fit perfectly. The same size now is to small and the next size up is to big, even though I have stayed the same size

Love the comfort of these shorts and their deep pockets. They are easy to wear and nicer for someone who has thicker thighs. I will definitely be investing in their shorts again! Also affordable and available compared to other amazon businesses.

I'm on the short side so normal 9" inseam shorts are like long pants on me so had been looking for something shorter.Had never heard of Chubbies so being cheaper than them wasn't a selling point, the 5.5" inseam was what intrigued me as shorter shorts are nowhere to be found here in Australia.I'm really happy with the length but got to say the finish of the sewing was pretty poor. Loose threads everywhere and never sure if it's just safe to cut these off for fear that will start an avalanche of unraveling threads. Would hate for my bot bot to pop out in public or even worse if Mr Todger was to make an unexpected appearance.I decided to buy a genuine pair of Chubbies to compare. These are made in China and the Chubbies came from Vietnam but the quality was worlds apart, there wasn't a loose thread anywhere of the Chubsters, very neat stitching all around compared to these and the quality of the material is much better on the Chubsters as well.So these are comfortable enough to wear around the house and yes I did cut off all the loose threads but the Chubsters will be the only ones to make a public appearance as I don't want to frighten the woman and children with an unscheduled view of the frank and beans!
