mostly directly from levis ngl. relaxed or “relaxed straight” fit, ideally non-stretch, but the stretch ones can be more comfy sometimes. It’s overpriced but I only ever seem to have a couple favored pairs at a time until they wear out, so the cost per year is still low (I have a wider variety of shorts in rotation in the summer, mainly thrifted, but winter is depression season).

This is because ordering on larger sites like ebay or amazon, or literally anywhere that isnt direct from a manufacturer, I not only have to struggle and often fail to find exactly what I want, not a similar looking thing that is actually a new style that doesn’t fit me, but I also have to take the >50% chance what I ordered is going to be a cheap knockoff not the real thing. So at this point brands with a consistent product line, not new slight variations every 3-6 months win out for me, even if they are more expensive. I’d buy more in store but stores around here rarely carry my size.
