## Questions & Answers

**Q: Amazon, fix your product features description.  Description for all color says 100% cotton.  Reviewers say false (or fraud). What is correct?**
A: I bought the solid black and navy (both say 100% cotton) and dark heather (50/50 cotton/polyester), but they all feel and stretch exactly the same. They also all say jersey cotton, but the feel is a scratchy cotton feel, not smooth. Might be why they are on clearance.

**Q: what is the inseam on these shorts?  please dont answer with "Perfect", that doesnt tell me much. they do come in two lengths.**
A: The inseam is 7 1/2 inches., a couple inches above my knee, I'm 6ft. My waist is 36'. I wear a medium. Good sleep shorts, very comfortable.

**Q: Is it 100% cotton**
A: Style "O8790" Fabric Content: Navy, Black 100% cotton;      light steel: 90% cotton/10% polyester;       charcoal heather, camo green heather: 50% cotton/50% polyester

**Q: What is the inseam length on these?**
A: The inseam on size 2xl shorts is 7-8 inches.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hanes Gym shorts
*by T***H on September 29, 2026*

Not what I expected from a well known company - Hanes. The gym shorts are true to size fit well and the draw string comes in handy. The only drawback to these gym shorts is that the pockets are too shallow. If you put keys or valuables in these pockets, use will surely lose them while exercising. Hanes should add buttons or lengthen the pocket depth.
