I bought two of these shorts, one in black and one in khaki, both in size M. The black shorts fit me great and actually deserve 5 stars. Unfortunately, the khaki shorts, despite being the same size M, are much smaller than the black ones; they are too tight for me. That's why I only give two stars. I will keep the black shorts, but I have requested a return for the khaki ones. You can also see in the picture that one pair of shorts is much smaller, even though both are size M.
