Like most reviewers said, order one size up. These are great, price is great. Been looking for shorts that sit low at the waist and at least mid knees. These do both. I didn't know that they were pre washed. Nice and soft. They're like a well worn pair, like when they are broken in just right. I wish they had more colors. Great cargo pockets. Again, these need more colors. I'll take an olive pair. Very happy with them.
