I've had these shorts for about six months now and they are still holding up and all the decals are still intact. The shorts are double layered which make them quite tight and are made out of lycra material. They can be tied with a fancy "V&M" printed lace as seen in the picture.
The length of the shorts are 11" and the width is according to your waist size. Though the shorts are shorter than the average vale tudo shorts, this prevents them from riding up your legs. The shorts are a bit low rise, so as long as you don't mind your jock strap popping out the back you should have no problem with them. IMO these shorts aren't bad, but they aren't great. The only problem I have with them is that instead of riding up, sometimes they will slip down the rear and while rolling you'll constantly be pulling them up to cover your ass crack.
