In our world of skinny everything and 11" inseams its nice to still have an option like these. The are light weight but tough and 6" is the perfect inseam. The are shorts after all not Capri pants. And I have read reviews about the waistband. While it's not tight it's very comfortable. If you want it more snug I would size down. I just think they are perfect. Excellent product please keep these in the lineup!!!
I should have listened to the other reviewers - there is no elastic in the waistband. I have thrown out old bathing suits that had more stretch than these. The only thing holding them up is the drawstring.

After washing these shorts about 30 times already, I have to say they're still gorgeous. Nice quality material, no shrinkage at all, really nice fit. And they're so easy to take care of. Hubby wears them every morning to walk on the treadmill. These are the nicest shorts ever. Thanks Bean.
