I'm not much of a 'shorts' kinda guy, but I'm moving to run out the clock in Florida, and the internet has told me this is what Every Guy wears (to town even) All-the-time. so I want to fit in.
These shorts are excellent. I have real use for that clever smart phone pocket, too. Honesly, I have not really observed any 'stretchiness' but they do fit nicely, and they do look pretty sharp on. I like 'em.
