Title: Spot-on fit and very good quality for the price
Review: I've been searching for the last year or so for good shorts with either velcro or buttons on the back pockets. I like carrying my big wad of cash in my back pocket so I want to make sure the roll of 20s don't fall out when I sit down somewhere. I've been buying Docker brand shorts for many years, but they no longer make their dress shorts with secure back pockets. This being Arizona where most of the year it's luke warm to hot weather you really need a bunch of shorts to wear near year-round.So I thought I'd try these Amazon branded ones, and bought a size 32 with a 9" inseam in the cheapest color they had just so I could try them out (color teal for around $13). This way if I didn't like them even after breaking them in and washing them it wouldn't be a great financial loss.Packaging is easy and generic: inside a simple plastic bag and a small tag. No stickers, nothing else to have to remove. Just take out of the bag and remove the simple, generic, barcode tag.I noticed that the stitching was solid with sturdy thread, unlike a lot of other brands that cost twice as much and yet seem to scrimp on the thread. These feel very well made. The buttons are solidly stitched on as well and should last a long time without falling out. Zipper runs up and down very well also.When I first put them on I thought the inseam might not be the short 9" that I prefer because it felt like it was a tad too long and was rubbing the back of my thighs, which really annoys me, hence my desire to always buy shorts with the shortest inseam. Well, I almost returned them at this point, but thought, "what the heck, for $13 I'll wear them some more and give them a try". Well, after a couple of hours of wearing them and walking around all over the place the hem softened up enough that it no longer bugs me by rubbing against the back of my thighs. So that's definitely a plus for me!I started to give these a one star downgrade for the only nit I have against these shorts: the front pockets seem to be about 1/2" to 1" shorter than I prefer. I would prefer to have the pockets be just a little bit deeper, in which case I'd give them a solid five stars. But because of this, I'll give them 4.51 stars and just round up for the overall very good quality and really good price. They're not quite Docker's quality, but they come close. The only difference, besides the pockets being a little bit shallower, is that while the cloth material is pretty thick (compared to many other brands I've bought over the years), it's still a fraction of a mill less heavy cloth than Docker's.So buy them if you want to try out something different that's nearly as good as top end brands, but costs a third of the price. But if you carry a big wallet in your front pocket then maybe not. But my Samsung Galaxy S21 does fit well in my front pocket along with my smallish wallet. I just wouldn't recommend carrying two big items in the same front pocket.PS I'm going to buy a few more of these to replace my worn out Docker's

Title: good value
Review: Nice fit, they wear well. Sizes are a bit large I had to go down to the next size smaller.

Title: Fits well and comfortable 100% cotton, but not color fast
Review: They fit well, and look great when they are brnd new. They have decent length without being too long. Nearly all manufactures add 1-1.5 inches to the listed waist size, so I consider these pants to be accurate in size. With a tape measure, I measure 32.0." I tried both the 30" and 31." Either size works. With a tucked-in shirt, 31" is best. With an untucked shirt, 30" fits snugly on the waist (no belt needed), but leaves plenty of room in the seat. No problem with shrinkage, but the dye is not colorfast. I bought Navy Blue and after one wash, it already looks a bit faded, but not worn-out.

Title: Well made and fit properly
Review: I buy all my shorts through Amazon, especially when they are on sale. They are all cotton, fit properly and are very durable as they are worn almost year round in the climate I live in.

Title: Too small
Review: My husband is a 32w we bought a 33 to give him room. They were so tight. So disappointing. Going with a different brand. The shorts were nice but really small.

Title: Great priced shorts
Review: These are a great buy! If you want him to be able to wear shorts but a bit dressier than cargo shorts, these are great! Fabric comfortable not stiff. Length is perfect. Great in South Florida. Ordered three colors! Size 36.

Title: These run small.
Review: The quality of the shorts are very nice and a great deal for the price. I ordered a 34 for my husband (which is his size in everything else) and they were much too small. I am a 32 and they fit me nicely. I will keep them for myself.

Review: I purchased 2 pairs of these for my husband since he had no shorts for summer. Both pairs looked great on him and fit very nicely. Sizing was perfect. Withstood a few washes so far too.

Review: Verkade vara okej shorts, men helt fel angiven storlek. Stod att det var 34", skulle uppskatta att det var 30-31" i verkligheten.Returnerades pga detta.
