How does the slim fit compare with Old Navy's straight chino shorts?

The slim fit is narrower through the thigh and tapers toward the hem. Straight and relaxed cuts give more room if you prefer a looser leg.

What is the inseam and where does it hit?

The inseam is 8 inches, which lands above the knee on most men. That is between short 7-inch and longer 9-inch chino shorts.

What does Built-In Flex and Rotation mean?

Built-In Flex is stretch woven into the fabric. The Rotation waistband is designed to flex and twist with your body as you move.

What pockets do they have?

On-seam front pockets and back welt pockets, with a button closure on the left back pocket.

Are they good for hot weather?

The stretch cotton is lightweight enough for summer, though it is not a quick-dry or performance fabric. They suit casual and smart-casual wear rather than swimming or hiking.

How should I care for them?

Machine wash cold and tumble dry low, like most stretch cotton chinos. Avoid high heat to protect the stretch.

Our take on the Old Navy Slim Built-In Flex Rotation Chino Shorts

These are Old Navy's slim-fit chino shorts with Built-In Flex stretch and a Rotation waistband that gives a little twist as you move. The 8-inch inseam hits above the knee, a middle ground between short 7-inch and longer 9-inch chino shorts. They suit men who want a trim, tapered leg and stretch for warm-weather wear, from casual Fridays to weekends. The slim cut runs narrower through the thigh than Old Navy's straight and relaxed chinos, so check the fit against those if you prefer room.
