My Husband’s Favorites
Fit: True to size
My husband had an older pair of these and wanted another. I had a credit at LLBean so got them for him. I can’t get over how expensive they are now.

My New Go to Short
Fit: True to size
Great short. Don’t wrinkle bad and even after wearing them for hours they don’t sag. The material is just right , not to light or heavy.
