almost perfect
I purchased these shorts in black and Midvale wash. The black are absolutely perfect. But there’s something different about these ones. The length is perfect, the color is perfect, however, they ride up my butt. It’s almost like they made the insane of these higher so they creep up your butt as you walk. Unfortunately I have to take them back if you’re in need of good denim shorts go for these but in black.
