Buyer's guide
3 inch inseam swim trunks.
The short cut. 3,256 reviews on who wears it and why.
The 3 inch is the shortest length made and the one that started the brand. It sits mid thigh, tans the leg and reads unmistakably as swimwear, in a good way. 3,256 reviews are for the 3 inch, 94% five star. It is the pick for men who want a European look, for shorter men who find 5 inch hits the knee, and for runners who train in their trunks.

took this bad boys on my cruise and not only did I love them, but the girls did too!!!! excellent quality and the style its dope. will be ordering few pairs for the summer for sure.

I wish the lining was tighter, especially on the 3" shorts (I also have a pair of the 5"). I worry about exposure on the 3", and unfortunately feel inclined to wear secondary underwear.

Hi, I LOVE the trunks but they are too big for me despite having looked up the size chart online. When I have something in my pocket I lose them. But great trunks overall

Online sites make lots of promises but pumped that Tucann delivers on theirs...the fabric, pockets and stretch are as good as they say! The trunks are amazing....already picking out my next pair!!

The other side
Every one to three star review in this group, unedited.
Fit and look is very good. Found loose thread in the right pocket which will be a problem in time no doubt. Company states fast drying. The outer part of the trunks dries quickly. The inner stays wet a very long time and the support is marginally acceptable. Better off with mesh that the company actually criticizes. Maybe I’d pay $50 for this bathing suit, but the almost $100 that I paid is not worth it.
Would rate higher as the suit is great. Problem is their return policy. I ordered an L and XL to try out which fit, since I didn’t have time to exchange before a trip. The L was perfect so reached out to return the XL. Return requires a photo (?), paying for the shipping, and a 20% restocking fee for a new unworn swimsuit. Would not buy from again.
I love the colors and the shorter Inseam. But, it appears that you have to upsize to get the shorts to ride on your hips like the models in the photos. Due to the fact that they are NOT the true board short waist. The advertising is a bit misleading and do not show or explain that the back of the waist is elastic.
