I was skinnier for a very short period of time. And then I wasn’t. I wore these shorts a few times to work. They are an appropriate work length. They are like new condition, still crisp and white. No stains, holes or tears. Really wish I could still wear them. Material is like that of chinos. Very smooth and with a tiny bit of stretch. I think they are a mid-rise at 9” and a 10” in seam for a nice Bermuda fit.
