Urban Boundaries Mens Long Elastic Waist Drawstring Casual Shorts HOW DO I KNOW WHAT SIZE TO ORDER? Use the size chart found in the alternate images. We have a guide based on your waist size or weight for our flat front elastic waist shorts for men. We were conservative in our size recommendations in an effort to eliminate purchases where the shorts are too small. Our elastic waistband is both tall and snug, but expands well to fit multiple waist sizes. If you prefer a loose fit in the waist, we recommend ordering one size up from our recommended size. WHAT IS THE INSEAM LENGTH ON THESE MENS COTTON SHORTS? The inseam is a sliding scale based on the waist size  ranging from 10.75 long to 12 long. Relative to the waist size, these inseam lengths are long and perfect for those who like longer shorts, or for those who are tall and need a longer inseam. WHAT ARE THE KEY FEATURES OF THESE COTTON SHORTS? The 280gsm weight shorts come with a 3 inch tall waist band, a 9 long waistband drawstring, two full size, 11.5 deep front pockets (holds keys, cell phones, wallets, etc., like any traditional pair of cotton shorts), and a single 6 deep back pocket. HOW DO I CARE FOR THESE SHORTS AND WILL THEY SHRINK? Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. These shorts are made of 60% Cotton and 40% Polyester, they will hold their shape and thanks to the high polyester count, they will have minimal shrinkage.
