Amazon Essentials Men's Slim-Fit Stretch Golf Short

I ordered these shorts, being a little apprehensive because of the price. But, I am a size 32, ordered a size 32 & they fit perfectly. I base a lot of my purchases off of reviews & this product has a pretty high rating & there’s a reason for that. The shorts are well made, true to size & there is a grip on the inside waistband to help keep the shirt tucked in. I read where it looks “boxy” & “bulky”. No, they’re slim exactly how they are described. I highly recommend these shorts. I can’t wait to get another pair in a different color.

I'm 5'-8" / 175, mid 40's and like to drink beer occasionally (no washboard abs here). I normally wear 32" - 34" waist depending on the brand pants or shorts. Ordered these in Classic fit 33" and they fit fine at the waist and crotch, but were very boxy and too wide at the leg for my preference and frame. I returned them and ordered the Slim version in 34" (1" bigger waist just to make sure) and the fit was perfect! A little stretch is nice and the inseam is great for us shorter guys. They look better than most of the more expensive brands I own. Bought specifically for golf and they are a little fancier than chinos / khakis. Ended up buying 4 pair. Material is nice and they are a great pair of shorts for the price. Exactly what I was looking for!

The good: For the price, the quality seems solid and the 9" inseam is a good length.The bad: I'm not sure why these shorts are listed as slim. The leg opening is 11" which is wider than many regular cut shorts and if you have slim legs these pretty much look like you're wearing a skirt.

I am wearing a size 38 for reference.The shorts definitely fit nicely around the waist and through the upper leg, but I feel that the opening by the knee is much too large for being a pair of Slim shorts.Comparing my photo to the product image Amazon uses, you can see that the opening doesn't have the same slenderness, and this could be due to the fact that I am wearing a size 38.I also bought the Classic fit version to compare, and they basically feel identical. Maybe half an inch larger everywhere in my opinion.

Amazing quality and perfect length. I’m on the shorter side and I prefer shorter inseams and this has just that. It’s not short shorts but it sits right above the knees so that it’s comfortable when bending down to look at the greens or place a ball marker down.The right side pocket has an additional small pocket where you can place tees. It’s not as moisture wicking as other lightweight shorts but it’s not super heavy or thick either.It has an elastic band that keeps your shirt tucked inside. I ordered the shorts one waist size larger than I usually wear. FYI - I loved these so now I have two pairs.

Bought 31" khaki (5'10", 41" chest, 31" waist). Compared them to my pair of name-brand slim-fit golf shorts. I know these are 1/3 of the price of the name-brand shorts and I shouldn't expect a perfect replacement, but my hope was that they would be a reasonable proxy for the price.The fabric isn't very stretchy. Much closer to rigid cotton chinos fabric than the stretch material we are all now used to. The 31" waist was slightly snug out of the bag. 31" typically fits me well. Without a decent ability for the fabric to stretch, I'd be concerned that they would be too small after going through the wash.The dimensions are not great. The leg openings are 1-2 inches wider than my name-brand shorts, so they didn't really feel like a slim-fit for me. Also, the length is nearly 2 inches shorter than my name-brand shorts...well above the knee.

I'm 6'2", 180 lbs and wear a 34" waist, this was my first Amazon Essentials purchase and I was disappointed that the waist on these shorts is too tight, though I could get them buttoned it took some effort and I did not find that the waist had any stretch to them although the material itself has stretch to it. I'll send them back and try a size up. And a ps. as others have stated these are not slim fit by any stretch of the imagination.

Bought this one pair as a possible replacement for a 'legendary name' golf short that has been a summer go-to for casual shorts beginning to show wear and tear. Never used on the links, but always dressy and in style & now priced in the $50 range. These shorts are well made, comfy, and very acceptable as a replacement. My only complaint... the name brand is 8-loop waist for the belt (perfect), and this new less expensive choice is SIX-loop (not nearly as desirable or easy to keep looking good) and gets disheveled when going about an active day. I am inclined to buy more in other colors because of quality and value, but I will look for an 8-loop alternative before making a final decision because two more belt loops would be worth $5-10 more to me.

Size 30 x 30 fit well, slightly above the knee length and as hoped they are not slim, but not baggy.As a general rule I find normal fit I find are often more like a parachute, and slim are too tight. However these shorts fit about right.The only disappointing thing is that this is the second pair I have bought recently, and the materials are different. The grey are a really nice material with a smooth feel and look like proper golf shorts, which matched the material of the amazon essentials trousers I bought and would highly recommend. The grey ones also had the rubber strip to stop your shirt riding up. The black shorts I just received are more of a chino material, they are still ok but definitely not as nice as the grey ones in my opinion.The chino finish have made me wonder whether I will purchase again as I do not like chino type material, the smoother material of the grey ones I would definitely purchase again. The inconsistent materials is the only thing preventing a 5* review.

I didn’t have any great expectations of these shorts, as they are cheap. But honestly I absolutely love them and have ordered more in different colours, I wanted a pair to play golf in and with a little stretch in the waist they are perfect. Size I normally buy medium as I’m 34-36 size, I ordered 34 and they are perfect. But the big bonus for me is that they are smart enough to wear on an evening out in the summer, when smart not sport shorts are called for. Thank you Amazon Basics

These are NOT slimfit ..... I wish I had read what others said. They may he slimfit for someone who is 23 stone, but seriously, the description needs to he changed as currently it is a clear misrepresentation of fact. If you want slimfit, DO NOT BUY THESE.

I really wanted to love these but unfortunately they too baggy for my liking! Im a slim built it might fit a bigger legs better but shame as the quality and workmanship is great! Amazon come with a slimmer fitting version and I shall go for every colour!

My husband says these short are really comfortable but also plenty of stretch when playing golf.
