Simply styled, they pull right on, with an elasticized waist and adjustable interior drawstring. Handy side pockets hold keys and other essentials.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Amazon, fix your product features description.  Description for all color says 100% cotton.  Reviewers say false (or fraud). What is correct?**
A: I bought the solid black and navy (both say 100% cotton) and dark heather (50/50 cotton/polyester), but they all feel and stretch exactly the same. They also all say jersey cotton, but the feel is a scratchy cotton feel, not smooth. Might be why they are on clearance.

**Q: what is the inseam on these shorts?  please dont answer with "Perfect", that doesnt tell me much. they do come in two lengths.**
A: The inseam is 7 1/2 inches., a couple inches above my knee, I'm 6ft. My waist is 36'. I wear a medium. Good sleep shorts, very comfortable.

**Q: Is it 100% cotton**
A: Style "O8790" Fabric Content: Navy, Black 100% cotton;      light steel: 90% cotton/10% polyester;       charcoal heather, camo green heather: 50% cotton/50% polyester

**Q: What is the inseam length on these?**
A: The inseam on size 2xl shorts is 7-8 inches.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good, Especially for the Price
*by W***T on August 18, 2026*

Fit a larger waist fine, good elastic, comfortably a little stretchy even though all cotton. They are fairly thin and I don't know about durability, but they seem fine in the heat of the summer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice shorts!
*by J***E on July 5, 2026*

The shorts are very lightweight but they look nice and launder nicely. They are true to size and a great value.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ All purpose shorts but scratchy at first
*by K***D on July 30, 2026*

These are decent quality, not great and they are kinda scratchy until they are washed many times. I use them mostly doing things around the house or walking. They can wear out fairly quickly when used while working on cars, home improvements, landscaping etc but overall comfortable when broken in and a good value.
