Review from an Athletic Heavier Build

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2024

Color: Original KhakiSize: 3X-LargeVerified Purchase

Body Measurements:
Height: 6’
Weight: 275 lbs
Pant size: 38w x 32l
Thigh measurements: mid thigh 28” lower thigh 22”

Opinion:
Fits well, looks good, feels good. It’s hard for me to find shorts that aren’t strangling my thick thighs. The 3XL gives me the perfect amount of looseness around the thighs but the waist is a hair big. At my current weight I won’t need a belt but if I were to lose 10-20 lbs I’d need a belt. If you’re about my size you might be able to get away with 2XL but I don’t have one to review. Overall I like the 3XL and give it a 5 star. I’d give it a 4 because of the waist but that’s part of having an athletic build.

Great shorts for real men :-)

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2023

Color: NavySize: X-LargeVerified Purchase

It seems like men's shorts have come down almost to the knees for the past 30 years or so. So this is a fairly retro style of shorts using a very modern fabric that stretches and moves well with you and feels great against the skin. This also means there are no (potentially inappropriate) gaps at the leg. They're not tight. They just fit well. They are comfortable and move well with you. If you wear underwear with them, you'll need either briefs or a fairly abbreviated boxer style. I wish there were two back pockets rather than just one, but these are very good, very comfortable shorts.

WARNING: Be sure MERIPEX APPAREL is the SELLER is on your order for these shorts

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2024

Color: Jet BlackSize: LargeVerified Purchase

The actual Meripex shorts are super. Great length, super fit, high-quality soft canvas fabric. As someone has mentioned, the button may not be well attached, but that's the only problem I've seen in previous orders.

HOWEVER, be sure the seller on your order is MERIPEX APPAREL.

LOOK OUT FOR XZFeiYue-US. That one, XZFeiYue-US (apparently an offshore athletic shoe company) is selling something you may find on the sales page here and looking exactly like a pair of Meripex on the site, but at a lesser price. IT'S NOT Meripex. I got a black and khaki pair. Both are an entirely different short. (See my photo -- no branding, wrong fabric, wrong fit, wrong inseam length, entirely wrong product.) No other manufacturer identified, either. One good way to tell: The true Meripex short does not have a left-side hip pocket. The only back pocket on a genuine pair of these Meripex shorts is on the right. Notice in the photo: On the khaki pair, you can see back pockets on both sides of the short. (And with a flap, too, not something Meripex does on its hip pockets.) Also, if it's a true Meripex, that label will be prominently displayed on the lip of that right-side (only) hip pocket, as well as on the inside back of the waistband. Nothing on these shorts says Meripex. They are not Meripex. They're a scam.

As I have reported to Amazon -- and a ticket has been raised -- XZFeiYue-US is selling something it says is a Meripex short and it's not. The return process is diffiult, too. They send you only an inside-package return authorization code, not a shipping label.

So when you're choosing a pair and getting them into your cart or order MAKE SURE THEY'RE SOLD BY MERIPEX APPAREL and shipped by Amazon, and they'll be what you're looking for.

Well made and really fit

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2022

Verified Purchase

I have several pairs of these and will continue to add different colors. I've been looking for 6" shorts for a couple of years since the big company I did get shorts from quit offering what I liked. I was not sure about the stretch fabric, but I like it. These fit me like a glove and when I bend down it's like wearing nothing, since the fabric stretches with no restriction. I loved to iron a crease into my old 100% cotton shorts, but with these I take them out of the dryer smooth them with my hand . I do not iron these. When you are standing they hang about 4 inches above the center of your knee cap, there short but not that short. My thighs are 25 inches at the top and when I sit the shorts ride up, but you can't see up the leg since my leg is pretty big. You are going to show a lot of leg when sitting. I got the XX size, my waist is 37-38. There are belt loops that give them a dresser look. I use a range type belt that is 1 3/16 wide and it fits perfect. The loop looks like it could take a 1 1/4 belt. The zipper is brass and works well. They are well stitched and are strong in the seams.

Sizing is hit or miss

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2024

Color: Original KhakiSize: LargeVerified Purchase

I ordered one of these in Large and two of these in Medium (me-32 inch waist) and wear I medium in most shorts. The large was way to big. The mediums were 2 different colors, original khaki and stone khaki. The stone khaki fit great however the original khaki fit more like a large. The leg opening were 0.5 to 0.75 inch wider and the overall width through the waist and hip was larger by about the same dimensions. I sent that one back and kept the stone khaki ones that were smaller everywhere. Then I took a chance and ordered the 7" inseam pair in medium but had to send those back as well because they were too big as well. These are very hit or miss with the sizing, maybe I just needed a small, idk. I wouldn't order these unless you have prime for free returns. Quality control on sizing seems like an issue to me. I do like the ones that I kept though.

The shorts are good looking and good quality and comfortable.

Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2023

Color: The EverydaysSize: MediumVerified Purchase

The only thing I had a problem with is, that I ordered 2 pairs of Meripex on Amazon, but when the two pairs of shorts arrived they were not the Meripex shorts. They were a poor substitute. There was no meripex tag and I immediately could tell the shorts were not the quality of MERIPEX shorts. I returned them right away. I am not sure how this mixup occurred but it did. I then bought the correct pair on Amazon but I was very careful about making sure my order was MERIPEX.

Sent cheap knockoff

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2024

Color: Original KhakiSize: LargeVerified Purchase

DO not order these shorts. They are worse than a spirit of Halloween costume. The button does not fit in the hole the zipper is very cheap and doesn’t zip up and It is not because the shorts are too small. They are very poorly made and in my opinion, this company is just running scams so definitely do not order just a waste of money.
