Do these shorts run true to size?

No. The fit is described as large, so the waist and legs sit roomier than the labeled size suggests. Size down if you want a closer fit.

What are the shorts made of?

They are cotton denim in a blue wash. There is no added stretch, so expect a firmer feel than stretch-denim shorts.

They are a 2000s-era denim short with a loose, relaxed cut. The look leans casual and vintage rather than tailored.

Yes. The cotton fabric and roomy cut keep them breathable and easy to wear in warm weather. The lack of stretch is the main trade-off.

Wash cotton denim cold and inside out, and line dry to limit fading and shrinkage. Skip the dryer to keep the fit and color stable.
