I purchased these shorts to wear at night. I like comfortable shorts and a warm bed, as opposed to longer pants and cooler temperature.At first, these fit pretty well. The size is right around where I thought they'd be, if a tiny bit shorter than I'd hoped (they stopped above the knee). TheThe problem was that the waistband was lined with a tight, ribbed material that dug into my waist, leaving a mark after I'd worn them for a short time. This was annoying at least, and actually uncomfortable overnight.I didn't return them, but I haven't worn them in quite a while - so I wouldn't recommend these shorts if you're going to use them as PJs. Or planning to go "commando" with them.The unprotected elastic is a little rough on the skin, but that's what you get for such a low price. The length is a little long, with the waist to crotch dimension on the longer side. The 8" inseam is an inseam measurement, so the overall length is pretty long. The body of the shorts flares out from the waist a bit, making them a little bigger than necessary relative to the waist dimension.These run very true to size. My bad! Great quality and fit. Elastic tight on inside waist but I love the shorts. Reordered in smaller size so I do love them!Got these to work out at the gym and they fit nicely and look good also. Time will tell if they will hold up to the rigors of continued workouts but so far I like them quite well.Price is not overly expensive so it seems like a good deal. Give them a try!Not breathable enough to work out in, but they're great for wearing around the house or sleeping in.These are a cotton blend and are definitely not the type of shorts you would wear to the gym. They are more like boxers.Also they run large and are long, so the inseam between the legs hangs low making mobility a little difficult.I thought they would have pockets. My old ones have three pockets.Ok not real happy the waist band is white elastic and is uncomfortable most of the time. The other shorts I have the waist was covered with the fabric which was soft and comfortable. Would not buy again.
