Men's Slim-fit 7" Short

I'm an older guy, with an average waist and chicken legs. Looking for shorts with legs that don't billow like sails. Slim fit pants and shorts are supposed to have narrower than regular leg openings. Bought 3 pairs of these "slim fit" shorts. Unfortunately, they have larger leg openings than my regular shorts! Great quality, nice soft material, huge leg openings. Interestingly I bought a pair of Amazon Essentials pants in slim fit- perfect. These shorts are a good price, but not a good value if I have to pay $15 per pair to alter them! Returning them.

Comfortable fit, soft material, I recommend!

I really wanted to like these shorts. I liked almost everything about them: they seem well-made, the color was great (I got silver) the waist fit well, the inseam was perfect (I don’t like shorts that come down to the knee). But the width of the leg opening was far too wide. I am a thin person but even still, I shouldn’t be able to fit half of another leg in these. They are not “slim fit” as described. I’d say they fit more like “dad shorts.”

The 7'' short is a great length for most guys. At 5'10'', these hit about an inch or two above my knee. Not too short, not too long. The build quality is nice, and they have a nice trim fit. I would recommend you order a size up from your normal size. I normally wear a 34 (5'10'' ~200 lbs), and the 34 in these were too tight.

I've been really really impressed with Amazon Essentials so far.Last year, I bought a pair of the Amazon Essentials short (9", regular-fit). At that time, I don't think they were offering the 7" short, nor the slim-fit version. Basically, I was happy with these shorts. I wore them for practically the entire summer and found them to be very durable, though I would always cuff the shorts and wished that they were slightly slimmer in the thigh.Enter the 7" slim fit version - my wish for a shorter/slimmer version of the Amazon has been answered! To me, the quality of the shorts feels on par with J. Crew or Banana Republic, that is, more expensive/'premium' brands. Definitely better than H+M or other 'fast fashion' brands, as I've had shorts from them that have fallen apart in a couple of months.Very happy with the length/fit of these shorts - true to size. I am 5'10", 165 lbs w/ an athletic/runner's thigh build and wear a 31 or 32 in most common brands (Levi's, J. Crew, Banana Republic, etc.). 32 in these fit perfectly.

excellent fit. these are some of the best fitting shorts that I have purchased in a long time. If you are tall they may be a bit short but for me at 5'11" there perfect. the ride about 3 inches above the knee

I'm a 33 size waist. I sometimes hover between 33 and 34 inches. So I got a size 34. WOW!!!! It won't button up. Way too tight. Really??? I can't even button up a size 34???? I have other brands of shorts that are 33 inches and I still have room. So buy huge if you want this product!!!

Just got these in the mail, and was pleasantly surprised they fit. I'm pretty hesitant to order clothes online because I like making sure things will fit my body well before purchasing them. That said, in no world are these slim fit. The leg openings are typical width, and they billow out around my legs. Won't return because price isn't that bad, but won't be ordering more pairs.

I have purchased 3 pairs in dark colours, black, olive & grey in size 36.They all fit nicely and as required, slightly shorter in the legs, exposing the thighs, my shorts were approx. 3 / 4 inches above the knees. I found them very comfortable to wear during the spring, summer seasons and excellent quality. They do launder / wash and iron well. Received them in good condition and packaged well with no damages whatsoever.Thank you, Amazon, for an excellent service. Will have to buy some more in lighter colors for going down to the pub or get togethers.

I wanted shorts that were above the knee so they would not be an incumbrance when playing Bowls. These are fine for that if a little narrow in the leg. Overall I am happy, although my wife reckons at the age of 68 I look like an overgrown schoolboy in them! They will do the job though.

Not made for shorter and stockier guys, who would generally be the ones to buy a shorter short!!I might’ve persevered but the colour isn’t great either!

Not like the photo, in the legs. They are very wide,most definitely not slim as advertised. A pity because they are not a bad short ,reasonable quality and good waist fit.

absolutely love the quality on these shorts! really soft cotton and fit right as required. they are a bit short but as advertised! Amazon please make more quality clothes like this and AB will be my favourite brand.
