View Product DetailsCustomer Reviews
What customers say:
Customers overwhelmingly praise these shorts for exceptional comfort, lightweight breathable fabric, and versatile style suitable for hiking, golfing, and casual dinners alike. Most describe the fit as true to size, flattering, and well-balanced with just enough waistband stretch for movement. The cotton poplin material is commended for durability and crisp finish, while the clean non-cargo design appeals to those seeking a modern alternative. Some report sizing inconsistencies compared to other products, and a few note the fabric feels thin with visible pockets or slower drying after swimming. Overall, most customers consider them an excellent summer choice.

very good classic shorts. the 36 waist turned out to be just a bit tight when buttoned up but the bit of stretch it has makes it work and will perhaps motivate me to lose a pound

Lightweight shorts

Height: 5'10"
Used for: Casual or Every Day
They're a nice weight for warm summer days! They are true to size for my build, and a decent value at the current sale pricing.
Otherwise a bit expensive I feel.

Like the fit overall. I generally avoid stretch waistbands, but this waistband is not too stretchy. Bought 2 pair for vacation. They seem to breath or did not feel heavy and hot

Poor design

Returned because the light fabric color is somewhat see-through, such that you can see the back pocket liner through the butt -- not a good look!

These are very nice shorts, but are a bit snug on me. I have saved them, as I hope to lose some weight for them to fit perfectly. I have many 38" jeans and shorts, including others
