We were looking for uniform shorts for my son's school.  They need to be unadorned and look neat.  These shorts perform.

They looked new coming straight from the dryer, and there was no visible shrinkage.  They also feel great, and my 9 year old thinks they are very comfortable.  He also likes that the pockets are relatively deep; he complains that other shorts (and pants) have such shallow pockets that coins and other 'treasures' tend to fall out and get lost when he runs around.  Not an issue with these.

The best recommendation I can give is that we are buying more.
