Amazon EssentialsMen's Slim-Fit 5" Flat-Front Comfort Stretch Chino Short (Previously Goodthreads)

As a slightly larger man (36w) with somewhat chunky thighs, I tend to steer clear of anything labelled 'Slim Fit'! Shorts from Next or M&S carrying this label have always been very uncomfortable. I took a punt on two pairs of these shorts from Amazon (formally Goodthreads) as they were a great price and would be easy to return if needed.I have worn both and am pleasantly surprised. The 'slim fit' in this case still leaves plenty of room in the thigh, but ensures the shorts have a more tailored appearance than a basic straight leg. There is just enough stretch in the waist to make for a super comfortable fit without feeling like they're going to fall down and the presence of actual belt loops (rather than just elastic or a drawstring) means these look very smart and can be paired with a matching shoe and belt combo.The shorter leg is flattering (as opposed to longer baggy shorts with the hem down by your knees). Pockets are a decent size for carrying a wallet, phone and keys comfortably without anything threatening to fall out.Wasn't expecting much and though I'd likely end up returning these... they're now my new favourite shorts. Great shape, length and really really comfortable.

Comfortable and good value.

Excellent quality and fits perfectly. Thank you. Great price and two days quicker than expected.

Comfortable lightweight fabric and a short short unlike most.

I ordered duck egg blue, they sent me light military green, but I will keep them because they are good shorts well made

Nice basic Amazon shorts. Love the mid tight length and that it is cotton. I have 8 different colours already.I would just prefer the legs end were slightly tighter but not a deal breaker.My advice is to wait until any of the colours have a promotion or an offer, that's the perfect time to get prefect value for money.

As I don't have particularly long legs I find that regular length shorts make me look even shorter than I am so I'm pleased to say that these Amazon Essentials shorter length shorts fit and look so much better. They're comfortable to wear and wash well so I'll definitely be ordering more in different colours. The description is a little misleading as it states that the shorts have both an elasticated waist and a drawstring but unfortunately they don't have either. I was disappointed that they didn't have an elasticated waist as I wanted to wear them without a belt so for this I have taken a star away.

Excellent fit and quality
