What customers say:
Customers overwhelmingly praise these shorts for exceptional comfort, soft lightweight chambray fabric, and versatile style. Most highlight the perfect fit with elastic waistband and drawstring, true-to-size sizing, and breathable material ideal for hot weather. Reviewers consistently note the durable fabric washes well without shrinking or requiring ironing, maintaining its shape beautifully. The 7-inch inseam and loose-but-not-baggy leg fit are called flattering, while four deep pockets add practical utility. Many appreciate the casual-chic aesthetic works for errands, travel, and outdoor activities. A few mention preferring the original sunwashed style or note rare sizing variations, though overall satisfaction remains exceptionally high.

Love the shorts. Material is a bit stiff, but they will likely soften up with washing/wear.

Fit is different than the striped short
I do like these shorts - the color, the fabric, the pockets, the length are all great. This is the second pair I bought. I bought the striped version first. They fit like a drea

These are amazing! Sizing is spot on, fabric is soft and comfortable; there is nothing to "not like", except that the colors are limited. The best shorts I've had in years!

CHAMBRAY DOCK SHORTS
Excellent quality as is everything LL BEAN makes. There is nothing else to say. This is why we don’t rate purchases. It takes too long!

I love the look of the lakewashed chambray shorts. They're as comfortable as an old pair of denim shorts but look so much nicer. I ordered a second pair for a vacation trip.

I purchased these shorts hoping they would not be substantially different than the lake-washed shorts with natural waist that LL Bean has discontinued. Unfortunately, they were.

Great summer shorts
Just perfect for summer. These shorts don’t need ironed, they didn’t shrink in the washer or dryer. They are casual, comfortable and cool!
