Love them
October 9, 2025Generally confused by the negative reviews. I bought my normal size 27 and although these do fit large I would not size down. I’m 5’11’’ 140 lbs. I do get teased that “my shorts are on backwards” (by friends!) but I love the unique look of the pockets and get many compliments. I came back for the black pair and hope they fit the same. These for the sale price are an absolute steal. I appreciate all the reviews that weigh in, and it’s always helpful when folks provide their own measurements and the size they purchase!

So heavy so large
October 5, 2025It runs Large! I am a size 4-6@ jcrew, got a 28..... it fit so large on me I can't use it....it also weighs a ton!!! It's so heavy!....... can't wear it AT all! Unfortunately I bought it on final sale.....I am glad I didn't pay more that what I did for it! So not worth it.....and I am a jcrew fan in general.

Fabric is amazing
September 29, 2025An elegant pair of denim shorts . I am not the tye that will wear denim shorts especially with this length. But I am really pleased with this pair of shorts . My favorite part is the stretch on the fabric . I wished they would make the same jean fabric as pants because the stretch is so comfortable . I highly recommend these shorts .

Zero Stars
September 25, 2025Broken Zipper. Damaged merchandise. I expect better from J Crew. Yes, they were marked down and final sale but I think you should accept exchanges for unwearable items.

Absolutely perfect denim shorts
September 24, 2025I ordered these in a size 36, they arrived this morning. I put them on immediately and I already know I'll be living in them. Extremely comfortable and the fit is perfect. I've had three c sections and finding denim shorts that are comfortable has been pretty hard. These shorts are exactly what I've been looking for.
