## 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.
