365 Kids Boys Twill Shorts, Sizes 4-10

Not all drawstrings are functional—but THIS ONE IS. The Garanimal Brand has been in my household since my nine year old son was born. I purchased these particular shorts in a size 6 for him and they are a great fit. Comfortable, not too tight, not too loose, and the drawstring does come in handy when he's playing outside. They are 100% cotton which is prone to shrinking—after the first wash there was very minimal (barely noticeable) shrinkage. After at least four washes now these shorts have maintained their color, their stitching, their elasticity, and their functionality—as my child is extremely active and these shorts have kept up with him without any rips or holes. The camouflage color has also maintained a vibrant (forest/dark/olive) green. For reference my son is nine years old—he is 4 feet tall and about 50lbs. He is small for his age but the size 6 fit him perfectly. I hope this helps others decide when choosing a size. I would definitely recommend these shorts for the durability, the quality, the comfort, and most of all the affordable price.
