Amazon Essentials Classic Fit Cargo Indigo Reviews Summary

Fit and Comfort

Pros:

• "These shorts fit as expected, are soft, comfortable, and I will be buying more."
• "The material is soft and comfortable."
• "These shorts are great. He liked the way they fit around the waist and the length is great. True to size, good material and they hit right above the knee."
• "These are some of the most comfortable cargo shorts I own, I bought 3 pairs after getting a pair from my dad."
• "These shorts are very comfortable. They are made of a nice material and fit well."
• "Fit great. Perfect length. Made well."
• "Very comfortable and easy to move in."

Cons:

• "Poor fit. Waist was ok but the rear was cut really high so it rode between the cheeks."
• "Waist size is 4 to 5 inches smaller."
• "I normally wear a 38 waist but ordered a size 40, length and material is nice but tight in waist and behind."
• "The patterned one was the only one that didn’t fit because it ran way too small."
• "I ordered a size 34, and they were almost two sizes too small."
• "I bought two pairs of these shorts and got a size 42. And they were not a 42 more like a 32 they were way too small."
• "Bought for my husband for vacation but had to return them! They were very tight and definitely not near the actual size of what we ordered."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "I was pleasantly surprised with quality and durability. Very comfortable to wear all day at the jobsite."
• "This is made from quality material that isn't too thin. They appear durable."
• "These are quality shorts, that are comfortable and seem to be well made."
• "I'm impressed with the quality of these shorts for the price."
• "These are the best made cargo shorts I have found in years! Sturdy, thick material. Good stitching, well constructed pockets!"
• "They seem to be a very high quality pair of shorts and I like the color selections too."
• "These shorts are very comfortable, not too heavy but with a substantial feel like they will last for a long time."

Cons:

• "I was very disappointed that they fell apart when the wranglers that I wear last for 6-8 before they started having issues with fraying and holes from work."
• "Button fell off after wearing them for the second time."
• "Had stitching failure on crotch, debating cost of taking em to seamstress as they’re pretty good shorts."
• "All the buttons are wobbly, and even if they stay in that wobbly state for a long time without actually breaking off and/or falling off, I still feel that it is a mark of bad quality."
• "Port quality. Buttons not secured and started coming off the first or second time I wore them."
• "The right back pocket split on the second day I wore them."
• "I've only had these shorts for two months and they already have a couple of unfixable holes in them, making the shorts unwearable after only about a dozen days wearing them."

Design and Features

Pros:

• "Front pockets deep that can hold a larger cell phone."
• "These are very reasonably priced and they're nice. They don't require ironing between washings and the flaps stay reasonably flat."
• "Lightweight. Regular guy style. Dressed up enough but down as well."
• "Buttons on all pockets, almost impossible to lose anything."
• "You can comfortably carry wallet, keys, cell phone, hand sanitizer, face mask and a few extra things in your shorts!"
• "The front pockets are SO deep, that if you clip, say, a penlight, sharpie, and pen into the top corner of the cargo pocket, and have your smartphone in the front pocket of the same side, the two items will bang together annoyingly when you walk."
• "The pockets are large and there are enough of them carry keys, phones and other stuff without all of them banging into each other."

Cons:

• "The lower front pockets are stitched so I find it impossible to unbutton them."
• "The side leg pockets and back pockets are button down and the buttons are hard to open."
• "The pockets have a flap over the buttons that makes them awkward to get to."
• "The cargo pockets down on the lower sides each have a DOUBLE flap over the top, making it difficult to unbutton the pocket/flap."
• "The only negative is an unnecessary second layer to the flaps for the side pockets that sometimes get in the way of easily retrieving an item from a pocket."
• "The only detracting feature is they do not have a separate phone pocket."
• "Some pockets too small; can not carry a cell phone or wallet in back pockets."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "It was a prime day purchase, bought 3 pair; should’ve bought 10 at that price because they fit well, excellent material quality, stylish."
• "These are a good pair of cargo shorts at a good price."
• "For the price bought 2 pair to try and ended up buying 2 more. Fits to size and well made and hold their color."
• "I bought three pairs at a great price of $8 each."
• "Great value."
• "I bought them for $12 and I would buy them again but only on sale."
• "For $7 I am convinced you cannot find a better deal!"

Cons:

• "Sad to see Amazon Essentials Quality continue to go Downhill."
• "The buttons are attached in a very poor way."
• "I get it that the price is good but the button for closure is sown instead of riveted (guaranteed to fail), the fit was way tight and every aspect of fabrication seemed poor."
• "The reason I say don't buy them is because right out of the package the waist buttons are ready to fall off."
• "If you expect these shorts to be high end, you will be disappointed."
• "Although $18-20 is a great price for these shorts, you aren’t getting the deal of the century here. They are probably best for light work or casual wear."
• "This is what happens when things are designed by bean counters whose sole priority is making it cheaper."
