Meripex Apparel Men's 5.5 Inch Elastic-Waist Short Shorts (X-Large, Coral)

Been looking for some shorts that actually look like shorts to wear around town. These are perfect. Got the navy blue ones in size large, I'm 6'1" and 203 lbs, and they fit perfectly.Update 12 March 2019, after 4 months with these shorts:I now have 4 pair of these shorts, and they are mostly comfortable. The ones that "fit as expected" are great, but it seems each set is made different than the others. I have a navy blue short that is really comfy, but the back pocket is shallow and will barely hold my small wallet. I have a red set that seems like the crotch was made too shallow, and it does NOT fit comfortably. My yellow set is the best, comfy, length is perfect, and back pocket holds my wallet.Overall, I really like the shorts, just wish they were uniform in their creation. It's hit or miss for most of them.

I have a few pairs of Chubbies and so got these because I thought they were probably the same but at half the price...they are not the same. The cotton feels thin and cheap and stiff and the cut is weird. May still work for thin guys but if you fill your shorts out you’re not going to like these and they’re not going to last...And I am not necessarily partial to Chubbies. I think they’re over priced and sometimes inconsistent on their dying process for some colors but they feel like quality next to these. I returned them.

I give these shorts a solid “meh” on a scale of “meh” to “meh.” They seem well constructed enough but the leg holes are too wide giving them a baggy sort of look. (I’m 6’, 205, 33 waist and ordered large.) Also the fabric is really thick, which I am not a fan of.

My shorter than average husband loves these shorts! It has been a chore to find shorter inseam shorts in the stores, and he hates lomg shorts that fall to his knees. These are great. The fit is great, the fabric is great, the price is great. I've already washed them and they look like new and didn't wrinkle. I will buy more of these!

I first bought the XX-Large, because of sizing reviews, and they fit OK, but when I leave the house putting phone, keys, wallet, etc. in the pockets, they fall down due to the weight. In the XX-Large the back pocket is plenty deep for my wallet, but again they fall down. So, I bought the X-Large, and they fit good too, and they don't fall down when I load up the pockets, but the back pocket in the X-Large is not deep enough for my wallet to go all the way in. Very disappointing, because otherwise they would be fine.

As of this review, I've been wearing these shorts regularly for almost a month - say at least 15 wears given we're in the hot part of the year. They are either on me or being washed.They are exactly what I wished for: well-made, fit as expected and they look good. I don't feature the current trend in short that makes me look like a smaller basketball player due to them coming down almost to my knees. For me, shorts should be short - no more than 6" or 15 cm. These are 5.5" or maybe 13 cm. In other words, perfect.I like everything about this garment and can find nothing to complain about. I'm happy and if this sort of short is what you're looking for, it's likely you'll enjoy them too.

The color was great and so was the fit. The one thing I did notice is the Brand Name -- Is upside down on the shorts. I'm concerned that you are selling less than perfect for the same price. I think you need to do quality control on your shorts. I hope it was just this pair. I ordered one pair so far to see about fit, cut and color but now I'm not sure if I will order again.

I bought both small and medium as my son has a 29" waist and is 5'5". He likes the 5" length They are made of a sturdy material. 100% cotton. so i washed the medium first as they were a little big but they did shrink a bit for a perfect fit. He really likes them and they are nice enough to be dressy shorts or just everyday shorts. We will be buying more. so far the cheapest dress shorts for his size I could find.
