Appreciate the effort, but those are exactly the shorts I was talking about that I've found at Target that are way too big/baggy.

My dirty laundry

I'm thinking I might give these Nike shorts a try:

They have a 6" inseam, although they're lighter/thinner material than mesh apparently. I'm mostly looking for something that is the appropriate length (all other shorts seem to be way too long and baggy) and just fit well overall (the old 6" Champion mesh shorts were perfect).

Anyone ever try these shorts?

Dude, i loved Those too! I had a pair I bought as a fresman at my college bookstore that lasted close to a decade. They were my longest athletic shorts, but I wore them to a company softball game and the rest of my team made fun of my "short" shorts. I thought about wearing some running shorts the next week to mess with them, but just alternated between that pair and a cotton pair of similar length.

I stopped wearing them because the elastic in the waistband was shot and I grew tired of messing with the drawstring just to make them fit.

good luck on your quest!

Are you talking about these shorts?

Double mesh with pockets. They can last many years. I sometimes wear them free balling on long multiday hikes.

I don't think pockets are desired and the inseam looks a bit too long on those. Pretty close though if I had the same thing in mind as the OP.

holy crap -

the picture above "mesh shorts" looks like what you describe, but click the link and all of the shorts are too long.

Very very close! But not quite, I don't think. For a while Champion did make two main type of mesh shorts . . . the 6" pocketless ones I'm looking for, and ones with pockets (same overall material) but about 2" longer in the inseam. I would assume those Cal shorts (nice as they look) are of the ~8" inseam ilk, unfortunately. But yes, otherwise those are the type of shorts I'm talking about (sans school logo technically, but at this point I'd take any school logo if I found the shorts I'm talking about).

Ha I know, it's so frustrating. What's worse is that they do have almost what I'm looking for, but the model has pockets and a 9" inseam. And they even call them their "Long mesh shorts", implying that they used to have shorter models (indeed, the 6" inseam ones). But they don't seem to even make/sell those anymore!

I've worn the Cal style shorts since middle school. The first ones that I wore were dark blue and didn't have pockets. They had Champion written on the bottom and this logo would peel off eventually. Then I got some C9 shorts that were the same.

Now I can't seem to find the pocketless version with the label that comes off. I found out after doing climbing and hiking that I'd prefer shorts with pockets, so I got a pair from the Cal store. It feels like the same thing.

I really don't think that there is a difference with the inseams. Just figure out your size. Back when I used to get the pocketless versions, the sizing wasn't consistent. I could fit an XL size and it would fit fine around the waste and go a little over the knee. The L size would be a little above my knee. But the waist seemed the same. Then, I got an XL that were made in a different country and the waist was really big and had to be tied up or else they would fall down.

There definitely used to be. ~5 years ago when I bought two pairs of the 6" pocketless ones, I tried on the "identical" pocketed version, in the same size (Medium), and they were much baggier/longer.

This post looks dead but should be revived.

They used to sell RACKS of Russell shorts at Academy like the Champions you described. Academy stopped selling these about 2 summers ago. Everything there now are hoops shorts. They sell tennis/running shorts which aren't the same nor the same price ($4.99).

I have bought shorts and taken them to the tailor to shorten them. I have come close a number of times. But never found the old classic Russells.

Duluth trading had a sold out site. Wonder why?

if you're really desperate, can't you just cut it and sew it?

Just wanted to chime in that I totally remember these shorts and wish they still made something similar. These were way before the Target champion brand. These were the older logo, etc. They also made them in cotton.

A few weeks ago I went to Dick's to look for some general athletic shorts to wear on weekends for lifting weights, playing soccer with the kids, yardwork, etc and all of them are like 11" minimum. As I was looking at the racks, I couldn't help but think about how I am a 6' tall man and these would look stupid on me. Who is buying these all of these things?

Even running shorts come with pockets and a 7" minimum these days.

I had a few pairs of lacrosse shorts from High School that were the jam, but the elastic waist on them finally gave and they had no draw strings. I still have them and might try to get the elastic renewed somehow.

Like another poster said, i took two pairs of Under Armour shorts to a tailor and had them altered to about 6" last year. The logo got chopped off but I didn't care. I wear them a lot now.

I am not a super-short shorts guy, I am just a mid-thirties man who wants athletic shorts to wear to the gym and on weekends that don't make me look like I'm trying to be Kevin Durant.

Those champion shorts were fantastic. I used them all through college and like an earlier poster said they only finally wore out when the elastic went. I actually put a new elastic band back into an old pair.

I recently looked for a pair at Dick's and only found the ridiculously long hoop shorts mentioned. I never thought about taking them to a tailor shop but that's a great idea.

The new Champion mesh shorts "aka Coach's Shorts" are junk.......since Champion merged with Hanes.

I used to wear these in the 90's and they were bomb proof, just bought a pair at Kohls and after 3 washes I already have a slight "pull" in the mesh and the drawstring is frayed. They don't fit right and the pockets flip around to the front during runs. I just wear them as knockaround shorts hanging around at home now.

The $8 Starter mesh shorts are much much better, and for half the cost. I don't know what happened, I miss the "old" Champion.......also miss those grey T-shirts that were made of kind of a thin sweat pants material that were perfect for the gym.
