Customers overwhelmingly praise the lightweight, breathable seersucker fabric for its authentic summer appeal and comfort. The 100% cotton material feels soft against skin, holds up well after washing, and retains its pressed appearance. Many appreciate the relaxed fit, Bermuda length, and versatile classic style. However, fit remains problematic—most reviewers report the shorts run significantly small, requiring sizing up one to two sizes. Despite this inconsistency, those who found the correct size consider them an excellent summer staple worth the effort.
Love these shorts and wish llbean used their “lake washed”fabric and made it in this style short with the longer inseam

Fit: Too small
I keep it for now since I already removed the tags, but even is it’s a size 14 like the other 3 bermudas I just purchased, it’s much too small

Tight fit
Fit: A little small
Fabric is fine, but the cut/sizing is skimpy. Not much difference in 12 & 14. Too snug…
