I've purchased several of these Oshkosh shorts in different colors for our 8yr old son to sleep in, to wear around the house, and to play in. My Conclusion: I think they are a good value for the money!I compare these to the name brand athletic shorts I have bought for him, and I think these are the same if not better quality, for 30%-50% less! Plus some of the name brand shorts have tended to snag, and pull more easily because of the type of material they were made of.I think these Oshkosh shorts run just a little large but it's ok for me, b/c they have a drawstring waist and our son will grow into them.
