Shorts
The verdict
Same soft-wash treatment as the brand's relaxed version but a different cut and higher price — buy at the sale price, skip at full price.
Fit
Without "relaxed" in the name, expect a slightly closer, less roomy cut than the brand's relaxed version of this wash.
Quality
The softened wash finish suggests a pre-broken-in casual short, consistent with Eddie Bauer's mainstream casual construction.
Is the price fair?
At $39.99, marked as sale/clearance, this is mid-tier pricing that's reasonable given the markdown; at full price it would be a harder sell against the brand's own relaxed version at $34.99.
Best for
Someone who wants a slightly more fitted soft-wash casual short and is buying at the discounted price.
Care
Wash cold and inside out to protect the wash finish.
