    Our picky 6 year old son loves these shorts. They are soft, nice longer length, washed well. Our son has a slimmer waist and these fit him comfortably. The color is less vibrant in person, but that's not an issue for us.

    These are really long on my 15 year old son. I’m going to hem them to a shorter length and then they should be fine!

    Soft and comfortable

    These shorts are amazingly soft and comfort approved by our 4 yo son. By the pictures, I did expect the shorts to be a bit longer, thus 1 star off. Otherwise, we are very happy with this purchase and hope they last until he outgrows them.

    Perfect

    We are always struggling to find comfortable clothes for my 11-year old son who is very particular. He loves these shorts and absolutely lives in them! They are well made and he likes the variety of colors.

    My son has been wearing this style for a very long time now. The waistband is the best. My son loved it. It doesn’t make him feel too tight, or too loose. And it made in the USA.

    He doesn’t want to take them off

    Three days he wore those shorts in a row. Both my kids wore the underwear for as many days as they could too because they loved them so much. I need more
