jcrew & jcrew factory sizing

[rex]

I'm looking at buying some shorts and I recall something about their sizing being off.

Are they all about the vanity sizing, meaning id need to go smaller than normal or can I get my normal size?

Yea they run big. I wear a size smaller there.

I got 4 pairs of shorts from factory all the same size.

2 pairs fit correctly, one is probably really a size larger, and one is at least a size smaller

I always double check their sizing chart and the sizing info for each item. Some things run large and some are true to size, in my experience.
