I've washed these four times already and the fabric just gets softer, no pilling at all. The raw hem looks intentionally unfinished in a good way, and the drawstring actually stays tied instead of slipping loose mid-walk.

The 8.5-inch rise hits exactly where I wanted, and the 2-inch inseam gives that nice, barely-there coverage without riding up. I’ve washed them three times already and the raw hem hasn’t frayed or curled, which is usually my biggest gripe with shorts like these.

The fabric is that perfect broken-in weight right out of the bag, and the 8.5-inch rise sits just right without digging in. I've already worn them three times this week, and the raw hem hasn't frayed or curled at all.
