Great, well worth the money

Great, well worth the money
After seeing a few mixed reviews I was slightly dubious but when they arrived I was more than happy. The anchor print khaki shorts are definitely darker than they look in the picture but that's fine, they still look good. Sure the quality isn't as good as some of the premium brands (these look and feel thinner and are more prone to creases) but for the money it's a great buy. I'm a 32w (Most brands 32w size will fit me fine) and these fit me well. Tight enough to wear without a belt, loose enough to wear with a belt if I choose to.I paid around £6 for these which is a fantastic price and excellent value. If you can get them for anything less than £12, then it's an absolute bargain. (Picture is of them being tried on right out of the packet, they need a bit of ironing).
Thank you for your feedback

This is the first time I've ordered Amazon branded clothing, so I wasn't sure how the sizing would be. I wear 32" trousers and shorts from brands like Next and River Island, so I went with my usual size. These are very comfortable and fit perfectly, the slim fit is very flattering, the stone colour is very smart looking with the above knee fit and can be worn as smart casual wear.

The shorts wash and iron well, I will definitely buy other Amazon Essentials range of clothing as they represent excellent value for money, are a good fit and are well made.

Nice looking, flat fronted shorts, in a versatile mid grey that'll go well with a variety of t-shirts and polos, or dressed up a little with summery shirts.

A much cleaner look than cargo shorts, they'll pair well with loafers for a smarter look, or with some plain, smart-casual trainers too. I just need some decent weather to get an excuse to wear them!

I'm a 36 waist and these fit great, with no noticeable shrinkage after a wash. The wash (inside out, just in case) also removed the creases from delivery, with no need for ironing them after.

I take a 32" leg trouser, and the 9" rise is perfect, just a few inches above the knee.

I've got fairly average sized legs, and the Slim fit works well for me, without being too snug. I imagine the standard/straight fit might be a bit baggy, unless your legs are super muscular.

As a 6.2" fellow with large thigh and a 40" waist , I seem to struggle getting a good fit pair of dress shorts.

These are great and have good size pockets.

The wife likes the fit and the short length is not excessive.

A good choice of colours.
Style wise make them look way more expensive then they are.

Defo a must for the summer season.

5.0 out of 5 stars True to size
Reviewed in the United States on 28 June 2024
The Amazon Essentials Men’s Slim-Fit 9” Shorts are an excellent choice for those seeking both style and functionality. The weight of the fabric is perfect—light enough to ensure comfort during hot weather, yet sturdy enough to feel durable and well-made.

When it comes to washability, these shorts perform admirably, retaining their shape, color, and integrity even after multiple washes. The stability of the fit is noteworthy; they stay comfortably in place throughout the day without any need for constant adjustment.

The pockets are well-designed and spacious, providing ample room for carrying essentials without adding bulk. Additionally, the zipper is robust and reliable, operating smoothly without any snags or issues.

Considering the quality and features, these shorts offer exceptional value for money. They combine comfort, durability, and practicality in a stylish slim-fit design, making them a fantastic addition to any wardrobe.
