Amazon Essentials Classic fit Short Green Reviews Summary

Quality and Comfort

Pros:

• "This is the 3rd time I have ordered the Amazon Essentials shorts, and I have been quite pleasantly surprised at the quality and comfort."
• "They felt like $50 shorts in my wardrobe at a much lower price."
• "Amazon's plaid shorts are made from soft and moderately thick fabric."
• "Great quality for the price!"
• "Love the feel of these shorts while wearing. The length and color and fit make them great for times I wish to be dressier."
• "The fabric is substantial and appears durable."
• "The material is soft, comfortable, yet durable and quality."

Cons:

• "They were dried on low and came out a wrinkled mess. Going back."
• "Since they are 100% cotton, they come out of the dryer wrinkled."
• "The material is a bit heavy - not bad but on super hot days (e.g. 100F+), they may be too warm."
• "The black dye faded after two washes. Now has splotchy grey/whitish areas all over the shorts."
• "The old saying, you get what you paid for came true here. First day wearing and the back pocket rips from pocket down to just about the bottom of the shorts."
• "After just a few days the material between my legs where my legs rub has pilled, ie pilling."
• "The fabric was defective. It had three holes on the right leg."

Sizing and Fit

Pros:

• "The fit is very good."
• "They fit as expected and are comfortable."
• "They came true to size, and the length goes down to the knees. Perfect."
• "Size is perfect for me."
• "They fit great and the fabric is sturdy."
• "I wear size 34 and the 34s fit well, only slightly snug."
• "It fit. I wear a 33 waist pant, I ordered a 33 and these are the correct size."

Cons:

• "I ordered two pair of the same size and got two that are labeled as the same size, but that are clearly different sizes."
• "The waist is tight for a 36. I bought 4 shorts on the same day from different brands and this is the only ones that was too tight for a 36 waist size."
• "Upping size to 36 (im actually 34, shorts are just sized wrong) makes it like you're wearing parachute pants."
• "I bought a 40 inch waist, which is usually slightly large for me for every other brand of pants/shorts, but what I got was way too tight."
• "I originally ordered a pair of 36 (my usual waist size) and that pair came in. Way to tight, so I ordered a pair of 38. Those came in and were way to small too."
• "Ordered these for my husband. Ordered his true fit which is 42. All four pairs arrived is size that stated 42, but was more like 48."
• "WAY TOO SMALL. Ordered same size I do for everything else, and these barely even fit around my hips, let alone pulled up."

Wrinkle Resistance

Pros:

• "Came out of the dryer with no wrinkles."
• "Great fabric. Came out of the dryer with no wrinkles."
• "Washed them several times. They come out of the dryer with almost no wrinkles."
• "I repurchased these shorts to replace a pair I bought last year but managed to stain with bleach. This year’s purchase fits just as well and is relatively wrinkle-free."
• "They machine wash in warm water and tumble dry without wrinkling and did not shrink."
• "Seems nice - fabric may be little thin but probably good in hot weather. Do not seem to wrinkle easily."
• "When I tried the shorts on out of the package they fit great."

Cons:

• "They were dried on low and came out a wrinkled mess. Going back."
• "Since they are 100% cotton, they come out of the dryer wrinkled."
• "OK pants, no surprises. Then I washed them. Yikes. Came out of the dryer a wrinkled mess."
• "The only downsides are that they do tend to hold wrinkles a bit."
• "Fabric change from shorts that I have ordered before, wrinkles easily."
• "You get what you pay for. Nice price but thin material guarantees it is always wrinkled."
• "No stretch. We're so wrinkled after being stuffed in a bag & out in my mailbox."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "They felt like $50 shorts in my wardrobe at a much lower price."
• "Great quality for the price!"
• "For the price and quality, I will be buying more Amazon Essentials."
• "These shorts are great. I've very surprised. Kudo's to Amazon Essentials for clothing that fits American men."
• "I've found that their quality is excellent and prices very low."
• "A great price too."
• "These fit as expected and look good for a fraction of the price."

Cons:

• "You get what you pay for. If you have normal man sized legs and need normal human dexterity, this material won't support you."
• "The old saying, you get what you paid for came true here. First day wearing and the back pocket rips from pocket down to just about the bottom of the shorts."
• "You really get what you pay for with these shorts."
• "Obviously this is a cheap short. You get what pay for right? There is a review below that describes these as 'your Dad’s shirts from 1993'. Couldn’t be more accurate."
• "Hate to say “you get what you pay for” but it’s true. The price was cheap but so was the material."
• "The shorts didn't look like I expected them to. I bought them for my son who has to wear uniforms to school. The material seemed cheap and I need something that will last at least two years."
• "Incredibly poor quality. The button of these shorts came off the first time I wore them."
