I as surprised that these slim fit shorts were very loose around the waist and the legs. You need to have a body builder's legs to fit comfortable into these. But other than that, these are amazingly well made. I love the light weight yet thick material these are made of. I would have purchased more, but the selection of colors are very limited. The bonus on these is that they have a zip up fly, a hook on waist clasp, a pocket for your cell phone and very wide and attractive belt loops for a belt that I probably will be using to hold up my pants whenever I carry heavy objects in my pockets. Maybe after a prolonged drying cycle, these will shrink just a bit to fit more snuggly. So maybe if you are thinking of purchasing one of these, you may want to get an inch size smaller if you want a snug fit. But in my experience, it's always better to get them a little larger rather than a perfect fit from the start.
