We received the slim style of this shorts, so the fit is to form. I washed in cold water and tumbled dry on low. The fabric is 98% cotton and 2% elastane, so theres a chance of shrinkage from the cotton. The shorts are well sewn and an extra button is included for the waistband. The 9 inseam looks good on my 17-year-old grandson but not so good on my husband. Although there are belt loops making them a little dressy, the length of the inseam makes these shorts better for a picnic or going fishing.
