Ok....I am not an idiot....but how are they getting the measurements for the inseam of the shorts. If I measure my shorts inseam from the crotch seam, it measures approx 8 7/8 inches. However, I tried a pair of shorts on (same manufacturer, Pearl Izumi) which claimed to have a 6" inseam and they appeared to be the same length.
Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance,
Karen
