Amazon Essentials Mens Classic Fit Short Reviews Summary

Quality and Comfort

Pros:

• "The shorts I bought are great. Quality and comfort are fantastic. Would definitely buy again. Did I say they wash up wonderfully."
• "These appear and feel to be very well made. What surprised me was the fact that they are 100% cotton and when dried on the delicate cycle came out with hardly a wrinkle."
• "They are well made for the price - $18!!!, and I love the color selection."
• "Nice material and well made."
• "These shorts are a classic style and they are very comfortable and well constructed."
• "These Amazon Essentials shorts are fantastic. Excellent fit, quality, and price."
• "The shorts fit as expected and are comfortable."

Cons:

• "The material is rough and scratchy."
• "The quality on the sewing particularly around the button and the zipper is subpar and I understand I will have to eventually repair them both."
• "The buttons are barely sewn on and had to be resewn after the first time I wore them as I was afraid they'd pop right off."
• "Lasted only 5 weeks before the button is starting to come loose at the threads."
• "I expected these to last longer than a year, started splitting at the crotch."
• "The fabric is way too stiff for a comfortable fit. Poor quality."
• "These did not hold up well. I was a little concerned with the stiffness of the fabric even upon opening them."

Fit and Sizing

Pros:

• "The shorts were more like a size 34-35 when it says it’s a size 32."
• "Blue is closer to a dark heather blue - but I made it work for what I needed it for - they fit and feel great - true to size - very comfortable."
• "These shorts are comfortable and gives plenty of room to move in. Not tight. Good fit and well worth the price."
• "Nice looking, good length / fit."
• "I really like the fit, just enough room for comfort but not baggy or too snug, just right."
• "It's exactly right on the waist for me."
• "I ordered 38 waist, which are a perfect fit for me."

Cons:

• "Ordered two of these in different colors.. same size. One came extremely tight and the other was too big."
• "The quality is fantastic, but I do feel that it is a little baggy for a young 20-year-old guy. Probably more of a mature look, not really my style."
• "The material was nice but I like them a bit thicker. The fit was tight on me and also through the thighs."
• "Size runs a little small. I normally run size 33 waist express jeans and these 33’s are very tight."
• "waist size is the same size I always buy (33) but it was super tight."
• "I normally wear a comfortable 34. I will tell you now these fit like a 30. Not true to size."
• "These are 1-2 inches in the waist smaller than the other pair I ordered."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Personally, I don't know where you would find a better pair of shorts for the money. The styling is great."
• "I've bought 3 pairs of these - 5 if you count the ones I sent back. However, for the price (< $20) they are a great value."
• "I am very happy with my purchase and looking to buy in other colours."
• "These shorts have a plaid khaki and white design. They are made with a comfortable cotton that is durable."
• "Great quality material makes these shorts feel like a more expensive brand."
• "Good looking... nice fit... good quality. These shorts were nicer than I expected."
• "I ordered 2 pairs a few weeks ago and they arrived in perfect condition and he really liked them."

Cons:

• "I wish the price hadn't gone up so much since I purchased mine, but they really are a great wardrobe staple for the hot summer months."
• "Good value for the money. Doesn't stretch as much as I would have liked, and fades a bit faster than I imagined, but given the cost I cannot complain."
• "What a rip off. Better to spend a little more and get something that will last more than a few washes."
• "I thought that these were permanent-press; they aren’t. Spend just the few bucks extra for a no-iron name brand, but don’t get these."
• "I should have known not to buy on Amazon. Now I have to drive somewhere to return these."
• "Really disappointed in these."
• "These shrunk a ton after the first wash they are now unwearable."
