These are great looking shorts at a good price & the wide elastic waistband is a comfort Godsend for big boys.  They do run small, so adjust up accordingly.  I would normally wear a 5X in elastic waist shorts, but the 6XB on these is just barely big enough to be comfortable. I had actually purchased a pair of these at another brick & mortar shop, so I was luckily aware of the size issues before I ordered.  I took a star off only because of the confusion the sizing can cause people who don't read reviews.
