I purchased these for my husband's 74th. birthday. He is very hard to please. So I had given up on trying to buy for him. However, I thought I would try one last time. I got swim trunks in navy blue. He loves them. He says they are just the right length and don't choke him at the waist. He says they are very comfortable. He wears them when he goes swim/running at the Y. The fact that he wears them proves he thinks they are great. I may buy him another pair!
