5.0 out of 5 stars Great shorts, lovely colour, good quality
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 June 2022
Size: 29WColour: Pale BlueVerified Purchase
Love these! Really surprised how good the quality and feel is of these shorts. I’d heard about Goodthreads on various menswear channels and in articles etc and thought I’d try them. Expected the quality to be a bit rubbish and “cheap” but that’s definitely not the case.

I ostensibly bought these for upcoming holiday but also just wanted a nice pair of shorts. Love the colour but I’d say they were more of a pale/sky blue than midnight blue. I usually take a 30 waist but bought 29 to see if it’s a better fit and sometimes shorts come up big. 29 is a bit snug so I’d say get your usual size. I’ll just wear these minus a belt! Fit is great through the thighs and seat, particularly as I prefer a slimmer, more “fitted” look as I am very slim.

5.0 out of 5 stars How you want it to fit.
Reviewed in the United States on 5 May 2024
Size: 30WColour: CreamVerified Purchase
I’m 5’7” 175lbs, Athletic Build. So after reading the reviews on this product, I ordered two sizes. My waist size is normally a 29. I ordered a 29 and a 30.

I tried them on straight from the plastic. They could use a little ironing but was still ready to be worn as is.

The cream colored shorts are a size 30 and the khaki colored shorts are a size 29. I prefer the 30. It fits perfect and leaves just enough room if you want to tuck a shirt in. The 29 is form fitting. The cuffs feel tight on my thighs. But it has some stretch to it so I don’t feel too restricted.

The fabric is light and breathable. Perfect as we move into the summer. I like that they added some stretch material making it feel less restrictive giving you some free movement. Time will tell on how long they’ll last or keep their form. I plan on washing them in cold water then air dry then iron. But for the price, you really can’t beat it especially where “name brands” cost triple if not more.

These 7” inseam shorts are perfect for my height. They’re short enough to show your quads but not too much. I’ve tried the 5” and was way too short for my liking. I own 9” shorts and they look good on me but I’ve been wearing them for over 10 years. Change is good.

I’m starting to like the Amazon brand more and more. They’re cost effective, stylish and come in a variety of colors. And with their return/exchange policy; it’s a win!
