First let me say these shorts are very well made. The material (cotton) feels substantial and of high quality while also being soft. Stitching it nice and tight and feels of a better level than the price would indicate. Now the bad - the measurements are significantly off. I'm specifically referrin...g to size 32 in navy. After washing and hang drying i measured the waist at just under 34". I understand the trend toward vanity sizing, but this was effectively a full size too big. Secondly is the length. The description is 10" but i measured 9.25". Again that's a significant difference. These measurements were NOT done after using a dryer following the wash. Should i have done that the certainly would've been shorter. Admittedly that would help the overlarge waist, but still. Size accordingly. You've been told.
