Fit and Comfort

Pros:

  • "I love these shorts! They may be a bit short for some taller man but my husband wore them and looked amazing."
  • "They fit well, they’re super comfortable, and they look nice."
  • "I am a 5 foot 11 inch 205 lb male with a 33 waist. Size medium fit me very well."
  • "These shorts are comfortable, great length, and adjustable."
  • "Material is nice, fits perfectly very comfortably, bought them in red, then in Blue, my husband loves them, looks nice for any occasion."

Cons:

  • "These look nice but to me are not really as comfortable as I would like for everyday casual wear -- too tight in the seat compared with other brands I have."
  • "The material is quite thick not thin and it's a bit scratchy so not that comfortable to wear."
  • "They are made well and fit good in the waist but they are much longer and baggier than expected."
  • "The pair I got were WAY bigger and baggier than they appear in the photo."
  • "Fits awkwardly and the pockets are too far back so you have to reach back and dig for anything you keep in your pocket."
  • "Very tight. That may not be the shorts' design; I am too thin for a large."
  • "Too big on my waist. I'm usually a medium but I have to go down a size for these. the measuring chart is not accurate. buy at ur own expense."

Material Quality

Pros:

  • "I really like these shorts. They are very durable, have used similar pair for over eight years at work. Also very comfortable. Solid buy!"
  • "Quality is on point otherwise! Nice and comfortable for lounging or actively moving around."
  • "They launder beautifully, no shrinkage."
  • "The quality is impressive especially considering the cost."
  • "These cotton shorts are great for working around the house. The material is what I call a cotton twill. Very light and smooth."
  • "These shorts are a nice material."
  • "The pockets are nice and deep and the fabric is soft with a little stretch."

Cons:

  • "They fade a lot. My blue pair is faded after 4 washes where it looks like a 2-year-old pair of shorts."
  • "We purchased one pair. He liked them so I purchased 4 more. Two of those ripped after one wash! Before he even wore them!"
  • "They fit fine plenty of room Ripped the first day I wore them didn’t do anything crazy either just sat down and ripped at the side seem. The material is cheap."
  • "The material is very thin, like paper thin."
  • "Material seems a bit thin."
  • "I love the grey and red shorts and have bought other colors that have some issues. I bought two of the olive color both faded a lot after the first wash."
  • "The color does fade after a while."

Design and Style

Pros:

  • "These shorts go right above the knee. Highly suggest!"
  • "I've ordered them in every available color and I will absolutely order more when they aren't sold out."
  • "These are the best spring/summer shorts available. They sit above the knee -- not ON the knee, but above it."
  • "Terrific value for the money - I expected these to look cheap."
  • "They are definitely a step above basketball shorts, and look like a normal pair of shorts despite the drawstring instead of belt loops."
  • "These feel durable, light, and breathable, without feeling thin and cheap or too bulky/heavy."
  • "They don't have the styling of a pair of, say, Polo or Hilfiger shorts, but if you are looking for khaki shorts to get you around town, look no further."
