501 original hemmed 9" mens' shorts, black
4 years ago
Wore this straight out of the shipping bag. Snug waist (didn't need a belt for once), hemmed cuffs came down just below my kneecaps, moved well, didn't bind when stretching or bending. I am going to be wearing this with the aforementioned Gothic Biker Vest (big trucker jacket) from my last review. With Tripps chains attached to the belt loops and with fishnets and Doc Martens, an old-school club outfit. Again, THANK YOU for a fine product.
