Essential Drawstring Short - Blue Nights
The verdict
Fit
Drawstring waist provides adjustable fit. Cotton construction suggests a relaxed, comfortable cut. Sizing should be straightforward.
Quality
At $74, expect basic but adequate cotton shorts. Seams and hems should hold through regular wear. Fabric may pill or thin slightly with repeated washing.
Price check
At $74, this is budget-tier value. The low price reflects basic construction and simple design without premium finishes.
Best for
Men seeking an inexpensive, casual short for yard work, travel, or everyday wear.
Care
Machine wash and dry; don't expect significant color retention.

Fit check: Faherty
True to sizeFaherty fits true to size with a deliberately relaxed cut — take your usual size, and only size down on the roomiest dresses and boxy tees if you're between sizes.
Owners and hands-on reviewers consistently report Faherty running true to size, with the slight ease built into the cut rather than a sign to size down. The relaxed silhouette shows up across lines — tees are described as boxy-but-not-oversized, pants run about a half-inch generous in the waist (not enough to change size), and some dresses and boxier tops read roomy enough that between-sizes buyers go down. A minority of owners find pieces large and boxy at their usual size — one Reddit user had a medium tailored — and a few customer reviews flag garment-to-garment inconsistency, but that's the exception in the feedback, not the pattern.
Sizing advice: Order your usual size across the line; if you're between sizes, size down only on roomy dresses and boxy tees — everywhere else stay true, since the relaxed drape is intentional.
