Really good overall, thick and comfortable
These are one of the nicer shorts out there. Kind of make you look or feel like a boxer. Soft and thick yet still breathable cotton. I'm close to 6'1" and the medium is just right on me, just above my knees when standing but not too much skin exposure. I usually wear them for my workout sessions and they keep me cooler than most other shorts. Price is a little bit higher than some out there, but the quality is there. These are built to last, most other "french terry" shorts are much thinner in comparison and usually will have poly or other cheaper materials mixed in, so I'm happy with these.

Excellent cotton shorts
Comfortable, look great. I'm 6'3", 81kg slim/athletic build, 31-32" waist, and went for size small as reviews said they run large. Agree with this (I am 'usually' a medium in shorts). Also has zipper pockets on the side! Wonderful. Bought them in 2 different colours and very happy.

Worth the Price
Run a size large. If you are large, get a medium and so forth. The best shorts I own. French Terry is an amazing material. All the details are great. Elastic waist not too tight but fits just right. Zippered pockets are perfect. Great length for exercise or just showing off your gains. Would be hard to find a better short regardless of price.

Quality, Quality, Quality
Starting this review by stating that the quality is exceptional with hefty fleece feel, normally go for 7” shorts but wanted to try a 5” for those days that are not so cool. If you don’t mind showing a little more thigh then go for these if not look elsewhere. But if you go for them especially in the cream color it will be a great versatile pair of shorts that go with many outfits and NB shoes, I usually pair them with the many 990 sneaker series.
