If you're buying these shorts with an eye for their length at 9.5", you may want to think again.  The "loose" fit of these also translates into them having an overly long crotch that adds an additional 1.5-2" of length to them, which beyond having annoyingly long crotch, makes them knee-rubbing in length.  Pretty sloppy design on Levi's part in my book.  These would be nice shorts otherwise, but the design leaves a lot to be desired.  Are they expecting people want to store more than their normal junk in the excess space?
