Amazon Essentials Men's 8" Inseam Relaxed-Fit Drawstring Walk Shorts (Available in Plus Size)

Great for school uniform. Comfortable, easy style that meets dress code. Fit as expected. Wash up nicely.

From the moment I tried them on, the Amazon Essentials Men's Drawstring Walk Shorts proved to be a solid choice for everyday wear. The drawstring closure is a standout feature, especially valuable for those whose weight tends to fluctuate, as it allows for easy adjustments to achieve a perfect fit. These shorts offer exceptional comfort without compromising on style.The material is lightweight and breathable, ideal for staying cool during warmer weather or casual outings. They’ve held up well through various activities, maintaining their shape and comfort without any signs of wear. After several washes, the quality remains consistent, ensuring these shorts are a reliable wardrobe staple.For anyone looking for versatile, comfortable shorts that can keep up with an active lifestyle and varying waistlines, I highly recommend these (especially considering the price when they are on sale). They blend functionality with casual style, making them a great addition to any closet.

Good fit, but no flexibility. They are comfortable and they appear to be well made. I might buy another. -One thing...the pockets are all the way to the side. Normally pockets are closer to the front of your leg, but these pull your hands back and somewhat awkward.

Great shorts for amazon basics brand.. very affordable..purchased for a trip to the USVI.. Not much of a short wearer so I needed some and these fit the need...

Great fit and feel. Like the range of colors. Good value.

PROs: Comfortable, good price, good material, assembled well. They aren't perfect, but they worked well enough for me that I did reorder them.CONs: I would give these 5 stars instead of 3 if they made two improvements.First, they need to use a different drawstring. Although of a larger diameter, the drawstring is like one of those hard, non-stretchy, inflexible shoelaces that never stays tied. And, if you manage to tie enough knots to keep it tied, the drawstring itself has absolutely no stretch which can be uncomfortable. The drawstring needs to be more like the drawstrings used in most sweatpants and other athletic wear: softer, stretchier, and more flexible.Second, they need to do a better job assembling the elastic band in the waist--like the drawstring, it has too little stretch. It also needs to be more like most athletic shorts, swim suits, jogging pants, etc. It's almost like they didn't gather the material properly before they stitched it to the elastic. Combined with the drawstring problem above, the absence of waistband stretch can make it a problem to keep them up. I can't see that it would cost more in either labor or material to do it right. It's such an obvious problem and such a simple fix, I have to wonder if anyone wore the prototype for a day or two before committing to production.

I love these shorts. They look nice, fit perfectly, are comfortable, and are easy to put on and take off. I especially like the drawstring and pockets.

We've now purchased four pairs of these shorts for my husband. He loves them and prefers them to other shorts costing twice as much. Good length for a 6'2" guy. Please, please bring the "raspberry red" color back in the XL size. That's the one color he wants that has been out of stock!!
