The picture in the ad is not what I received for both the white and the red colors.  So it is safe to say what you see is not what you get.  The manufacturing was sloppy for both pairs, as strings and loose threads were everywhere, before and after washing.  Get out your scissors to trim back the contrasting stitching on the white and the red on white side stripes on the red pair.  What white stripes on the red shorts you ask?  Well, as I said, what you order is not what you get.

So the white pair arrives with blue contrasting stitching everywhere, even on a false front fly, even though it is not shown at all in the picture.  How nice to have a blue outlined front fly which is merely decorative!  There is a solid 1" wide blue stripe down the sides, and a white drawstring.  The red featured white 1" side stripes, a white drawstring, and white fabric lining the inside of the elastic waste.  All white sections were pink to begin with from the red bleeding onto it.

A good washing with OxyClean by itself, and then washing again with Tide Ultra removed the deep oversaturated red dye, and Tide removed the color transfer from red to white.  So after a few careful processes, the red shorts were ready for prime time.  Both board shorts required snipping of loose threads throughout the garments.  Absolutely no effort was made to remove them while being manufactured.

OK, after the at-home garment finishing, rather than at the factory, the shorts looked and felt great.  The polyester fabric was thin enough to have a soft hand with a brushed finish.  For the price of under $20, these beach shorts were fine.  But at a list price of $49, these would have been a joke.  No quality control, no consistently of design, no effort to get rid of the oversaturated red dye.  I'm keeping them at this price, even if they do not match the pictures.  No bargain, but a fair price for OK shorts.
