Questions & Answers

Are there any pockets on these shorts?

They do, indeed.

Is this a slim-fit pair of shorts?

They're just ordinary people.

Is there a string attached to these?

They do, in fact. It is, however, a "flat" rather than a "round" drawstring. My personal preference is for the round ones, but my 7-year-old son prefers the square ones. The grandson, who is only a year old, has yet to form an opinion on such matters. The drawstring is black and has the word "Starter" printed all over it, but only on one side. Furthermore, I purchased the Medium size (8/10), so the Extra Small that you are interested in may or may not have a drawstring. br>br>I say this because a few years ago, I ordered some dress shirts (not Starter, of course) and had to exchange my original order for a smaller size, which had fewer buttons down the front. It wasn't significantly smaller (it was only one size smaller), but it did pass the threshold for when the number of buttons changed. In this case, the drawstring may be present in the Small size but not in the Extra Small size. It's possible that someone that small would be best served by only wearing elastic. However, the fact that the ones I bought (mediums) have a drawstring indicates that they all do. br>br>I hope this information is helpful, and I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. If you have any additional concerns, please contact me. Thank you, Jim,br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br

What is the length of a small and medium's outseam?

We have a medium size available. The inseam measures approximately 9 inches in length. The total length of the outseam, including the waistband, is approximately 17 inches.

Inseam is a little bit longer
5/5

If you need shorts with a longer inseam, these are ideal for tall people, as most other shorts have an inseam of around 8". The outer layer of the shorts is mesh, while the interior layer is solid. The pockets are generous in size.

The entire thing is transparent! I wouldn't recommend these unless your child enjoys wearing see-through shorts

It's a fantastic fit and a fantastic price! These were purchased for my daughter's first basketball season, and she absolutely adores them! Excellent fit and color coordination with her school's colors! She adores the pockets, and although she would normally refer to these shorts as "boy shorts," she wears them all the time! Thank you for helping to make my child's first basketball season enjoyable and affordable!

This is an excellent choice for active boys
5/5

I bought these shorts for my son, who is a very active child who is always running around and is very interested in sports; he plays baseball and we even play football with him out in the yard, and these shorts are comfortable and breezy enough for him to wear in hot weather without becoming overheated. He adores them and wears them all the time. He even sleeps in them on occasion.

I bought these shorts on sale and they are fantastic
5/5

These were purchased at a significant discount. They are of good quality and fit well. These aren't as snag-prone as Walmart's cheaper gym shorts, but they were on sale, and we got them for the same price as we would have paid at Walmart, so we were happy. My boys only wear "sports clothes," so we have a million pairs of Starter clothing. " They have a long life span and are easy to clean. Will purchase additional items.

My son looks great in it! These shorts are fantastic, and I plan to buy the next size up for next year
5/5

They were extremely comfortable, according to my son. The quality of the material is excellent. Unlike some sport shorts, these aren't too thin. For my eight-year-old, we purchased a large size. I make sure the shorts are long enough to reach his knees because he is tall.

Shorts that are not see-through
5/5

My 9-year-old is tall and thin for his age, so I didn't want anything too baggy, but just enough to cover his knees a little, and these are perfect; they're not see-through, they're perfect, and they were well.

My son adores these because they are comfortable, stylish, and a good value for money
5/5

We usually buy name brands, but these were given to him during quarantine and he loves them; they are slightly see-through when held up to the light, but not really see-through when worn, and nothing that underwear can't fix. I'll definitely buy a few more pairs because they're stylish and comfortable.
