These American Eagle shorts have a couple extra details that most don't. There is a floral patch that can be see on the butt through a rip. This patch is sewn over the top so there is no chance of it moving or coming off. There is also the word Sunshine stitched on one of the back pockets. These little features add an extra little something to them. These do have some stretch to them and are very comfortable. These are a true size 8.
