These are well made shorts like other Covington brand shorts, but they are a little shorter than other Covington shorts, and they have elastic in the waistband on the sides and in the back.
I ordered three pair of these but the colors shown are not accurate!!! The sand is shown lighter than the Sand Box and looks like White but is really darker than the Sand Box!!! Very disappointed!!! I will say they fit great but not the color I wanted.
Shorts are made for more mature men. Material feels stiff. Okay for casual or sports wear. Wish the back wasn't ribbed indicating "age" of shorts. Wear a belt to possibly hide this feature.
Regarding the color the "midnight indigo" shorts are navy just like the picture.
The elastic waistband is in the back which is why you can't see it in the picture.
