Tru-Specmens Udt Shorts Short (pack of 1)

These are exactly the same style as the ones issued in the military. Some call them UDT shorts and for those who don’t know, they are designed to be the way they are for a reason. Mobility…Very happy with my purchase and I ended up ordering 2 more pairs.If your looking for true milspec udt shorts? This is your product!By the way, they were designed for men in their 20’s in great shape. If your fat? These shorts will magnify it.

These shorts are based on the same shorts the U.S. Navy has been using for years, since WWII. Thats what I liked about them; the old school styling. I've seen reviews of these on another website, and ALL the reviews said the sizes run small and to order two sizes bigger than normal. So I did. I "normally" wear a size 34 in Levis. 34 is what I'm most comfortable in. Extra room. Size 33 is more of a "fitting" size, and size 32 pants I can definitely fit into if I'm going for that classic look, but I'm not entirely comfortable. These issues made choosing a short size difficult, as returning swimsuits is usually not allowed. I even went so far as to email the seller of these shorts and they have a %15 restocking fee for returns. I took the others advice and ordered a size 36.The sizing:Well, the size 36 do fit nicely around the waist. I can still fit a couple fingers in between my waist and the material, but it doesnt look sloppy or anything. Fits great. Around the waist. The leg holes are a whole nother story. The leg holes are really big and odd. I can fit my balled up fist in the bottom. The shorts are not lined with the usual mesh to keep your junk from falling out. If you're like me and you have big floppy balls, there is a big chance they will hang out the bottom. So you're going to want to wear some underwear or something. My girlfriend says the butt area looks "weird." I guess its "droopy." The shorts have one rear pocket.I am not sending them back to try a size 34, which may or may not make a huge difference in the leg hole sizing. Who knows. There is NOT a lot of info on the internet about how to choose the proper size sight unseen on these shorts.The make and material of the shorts is great. They are well made and worth buying. The shipping is pretty much the same price as the shorts, but for me, living in alaska, the shipping was like $24 for some reason!!! Another irritation!!! Had I known that I most likely wouldn't have bought them from amazon. So check the shipping rates if you live in a weird place.So, I would recommend ordering only one size up, and hopefully that will work out best for you. I ordered two sizes up and the waist is fine, a little loose, but not dumpy looking.I am going to keep the shorts, mostly because I don't want to pay the %15 restocking fee and I'm very impatient and don't want to go through the hassle. They do NOT look horrific on me and the leg hole issue is only really noticeable if you do a sumo squat stance. I'm not concerned about the butt looking "dumpy" becuasue I can't see my own butt and I'll be swimming anyway. But I pretty much regret buying them, just trying to make light of me paying $26 shipping and being too impatient to send them back for a smaller size.I hope this review helps as there is really no clear information elseware.Basically, you're just going to have to take a chance and write a helpful review on here too so others can be more informed.Thanks!!Shane

They are a bit short in waist size.I am 34w, ordered 36, but they are still a bit snug

These are great!
