Just received these shorts today, and they're perfect -- just as expected. I bought the size recommended based on previous clothing orders, and the fit is spot-on. They're roomy enough for comfort, but cut slim enough to be flattering -- no ballooning around the thighs. Unlike other reviewers who mentioned that the shorts they received felt more like polyester, the shorts I received are definitely mostly cotton, and are nice and soft. The knit is tight, and the bit of stretch means they won't likely "bottom out" and get baggy in the bum after sitting. Because they're mostly cotton, I'll be hanging them dry until my recent efforts at the gym pay off and I can afford a bit of shorts shrinkage. The only thing I wasn't prepared for is that the white color is not a bright white -- it's more of a very light cream color, but that's not a problem. And if wearing skin-tone knickers, there's no show-through, as the fabric is substantial without being heavy. They're the perfect spring-to-fall weight, and I'll be buying these in other colors. Can definitely recommend for those who prefer comfortable but not baggy knee-length shorts.
