## Description

It's no wonder these cotton jersey shorts from Hanes® for men are bestsellers. These ultra-versatile knit shorts are just the thing to slip into after work, to wear to the gym, to relax in on movie night, or even to wear to bed. Simply styled, they pull right on, with an elasticized waist and adjustable interior drawstring. Handy side pockets hold keys and other essentials. These pull-on lounge shorts are a mid-thigh length with a 7.5" inseam. We suggest having several pairs of these comfortable cotton jersey shorts on hand. You'll wear them again and again.

Review: Very Good, Especially for the Price - Fit a larger waist fine, good elastic, comfortably a little stretchy even though all cotton. They are fairly thin and I don't know about durability, but they seem fine in the heat of the summer.
Review: Nice and comfortable - Comfortable coverage. I got these for while working in the garden. I needed something to cover a little more when bending and squatting in the yard. I got these because they are thin and 100% cotton which is easier to find at low prices in men’s clothing. Great price but they are on the thinner side so I’m not sure how long they will hold up but I do like that thinner material since I’m in the south and summer can be soooo hot and humid so the thinner material breaths better.

## Features

- No belt loops, no zippers, just simple comfort and the pockets you can't live without. That's what makes these jersey shorts the go-to pants when guys get home at night
- Cotton-rich jersey fabric feels as soft as your favorite tee

## 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.
