My husband LOVES these shorts. He lives in shorts-ALL THE TIME! To find some that can withstand multiple washings, always look nice AND were on sale to boot, well, it doesn't get better than that. He has them in three colors (the light khaki/stone, olive and navy). They always look nice and even though occasionally I do iron them, they come out of the dryer looking great. He wears a size 40-42 depending on brand, and in these shorts the XL is great because of the elastic waist. He has an XXL pair that is a little older and even though he can still wear them, the XL looks great and fits a bit better, which I think makes him feel good. I will buy more!!
