arrived as representedComfort, stretch and light. Excellent qualityOverall ok, but I expect more from a company charging so much. The ties are too short, and they don’t hold. I had to do a double throw on the initial cross in order to get them to hold. Then there was not enough to double knot it in order to make sure the tie didn’t come undone. The material the ties are made of just don’t have enough grip, they are too smooth.These do not fit through the size they are small around the waist. If you were a 34 I'm not sure 36 will fit maybe a 37 will. I'm not rolling on the dice on these anymore cuz they just don't fit. I returned what I bought and went with a different brandSize 38 was to small. All my trunks are 38 for over a decade. Photo is new Rip Curl 38s and the Birdwells. Need to get 40 to fit. Not fat at all. Bummer I love them and look great.Perfect fit after over indulging during the holidays. The stretchiness made for a comfortable afternoon in the pool!Birdwell=bestOr my body shape is. Bought the smaller size and felt like I was wearing see-through shorts. Went up a size and they are slightly to big. I really like the shorts and material, but they don't fit "just right".
