The waist wax at least 2” smaller than marked!!! Measured against all my other shorts, waist was 2” smaller! Do I order a bigger size or are these mislabeled? Or just give up.

Nice shorts, but much too tight
Fit: Too small
Much too tight in the legs, butt, and crotch for those with bigger legs. These fit like the newer metro style of tight pants/shorts. Really not versicle for moving around.

Good shorts.
Fit: True to size
Well-made shorts with good pockets. I like the “extra “ right side pocket. I have bought several pairs over the years. Well worth the price!

Not True to Size
Fit: Too small

My review of LLB shorts
Fit: Too small
These are slim cut, not true to size. Length is shorter than advertised. Unusually disappointing from LLBean.
