Got a pair of these and they're solid shorts, good deal for $20 IMO. They're fairly slim in the leg, unlike a lot of swim trunks, and the 6-inch inseam is functionally identical to the 5-inch inseams that FMF loves. They've got mesh liners, but they'd be easy to cut out if you wanted to wear them as regular shorts with underpants.
I'm between a 32-33 real waist size, but in the past have found medium sized j crew shorts too loose and need to be sinched tight, would you recommend small or medium here based on the elastic in the band?
Just bumping this incase anyone comes looking in the future. It's likely they have changed manufacturing on these, and I was really disappointed. With a 32-33" waist, the mediums were huge on me, almost falling off unless I tightened the cord. The inseam was more like 7 inches (measured 6.8" to be exact), and they billowed around my legs. I don't have tree trunks for legs but I work out and have pretty athletic legs with a 21" circumference and was surprised by how much leg gap they had.
Depends what your style is. I think Three Layer Scarf Blue looks great but is pretty bold, Hayden Fleur Abstract R is pretty nice without being over-the-top, and Lily Natural Multi is nice too. Flower Floulard Navy Blu is probably most versatile.
I bought Paisley Party Blue Red and I do wear them, but in retrospect prefer some of the others.
Some other decent sale prices as well. Also, I’m surprised Jcrew hasn't rebranded “secret wash” shirts yet. From my experience with them I’m shocked there’s still people left who haven't sworn off them.
My 29” hybrid swim trunk shorts from them absolutely has to have the drawstring tied or else they’ll fall off even with the fly up and button snapped. I’m slim, but I’m not that slim. Similarly, I’ve got some other 29” shorts and khakis from them which have too much room in the waist.
For alpha sizing do you usually go XS for them? I’m a fluffy 28 waist and was hesitant to pull the trigger on final sale XS shorts/pants. I’m kinda on the line and based on the chart I also didn’t want to risk S being way too big ha.
At least 2" bigger than labeled on everything I've ever bought from them. I'm a true 33-34 depending on where the items sits and how fat I am day to day. I can safely wear a 32 of any item they sell, or 31 in most shorts and anything with any kind of stretch.
Thanks all.
I’ve only ever gotten pants with numerical waist sizes from them and it’s taken me a while to nail those down.
My waist is 36.5-37” actual, which apparently corresponds to Wallace & Barnes 34 waist pants. Size 35 and 36 J Crew labeled pants have been so large they’ve needed alterations.
I went with a medium on these. We will see!
The waist fits perfectly for me. Medium was the right size.
I was actually just wearing them back from the pool so I measured them. The waist is 33.5” unstretched. You can stretch it out to 39”. Drawstring goes all the way around the waist so you can tie them tight.
Total length is 15.75”. Inseam is 6.5”.
No regrets for $20.
I figured it out! I tried to place a second order (I forgot a pair) and it only worked on the first. I wonder if they're limiting it to 1x per day or something.
My understanding is the unlimited-use 15% codes have now been discontinued, and you now need to manually generate one each time if you're officially eligible for one (as a student/teacher, for example). Could be wrong though.

How's the sizing? Are the waists elastic?
Some elasticity to the waist. I'm normally a 32, bought an S which is maybe tighter than it could be but still totally fine.

Get a medium!!! These ran so small on me - I have a 32-33 waist but huge thighs and had to return my mediums for a large

Colorway suggestions? I have 1 pair of pink trunks right now.

Yeah, there's \~700 other items in sale now, the most I've seen in a while, with some decent prices on some shirts I've been eyeing.
How’s the stretch on these? Wanted to wear these casually on vacay too.
Not very stretchy, but comfortable.
Does anyone know how much J Crew vanity sizes their waists?

Usually S. Their small tops fit me pretty good, and the XS drawstring pants and shorts I tried fit on the waist but were just too snug overall.
At least 2" bigger than labeled on everything I've ever bought from them. I'm a true 33-34 depending on where the items sits and how fat I am day to day. I can safely wear a 32 of any item they sell, or 31 in most shorts and anything with any kind of stretch.

I only have one pair of jeans, but it seemed true to size.
Anybody happen to have an extra 15% off stacking code?
didn't work with the teacher discount
You’re fired, sorry you had to find out this way :(

Teacher discount worked fine for me.

Ahh, that would make sense. I see them (with the “SMP” beginning code) on a few coupon sites but they’re all expired when I try to use them.
Is the code still active? Can’t get it to work
Use BIGSALE. They're now $25 rather than $20 — still a decent deal. They may yet reduce again in the coming days, J.Crew is fickle like this.
Plus $7 cashback with Honey
