Guests are saying

These shorts are a popular choice among guests for their comfort and lightweight design, making them ideal for lounging, sleeping, or casual outings. Many appreciate the soft cotton material and the fit, although some express concerns about the pockets being shallow and the fabric being thinner than expected. Overall, they serve well for warm weather and casual wear, but guests suggest improvements in pocket depth and material thickness.

    pants pockets

    Only reason for the 3 star rating is that the pockets are attached to the shorts so that every time you launder them the pockets have to be inserted back into the shorts. Also when you reach into the pockets to get something the whole pocket comes out. I hope I'm explaining this correctly. This can be annoying.

    The good & Bad

    Shorts are size accurate. The material is too thin for what I like to wear.

    Deeper/Wider, Less Flimsy Pockets Needed...

    Nice, lightweight Summer short, however, items constantly fall out of the pockets because they are a bit flimsy and not deep nor wide enough.

    50/50 shorts

    They were of good quality but I didn’t want 50% polyester. Was looking for 100% cotton.

    One of the best things I ever bought

    I bought a 4 pack of these 30 years ago for around the house in the summer. Ended up wearing them to mow the grass, wash the car, gym, trips to the gas station,,, Just ordered more to replace worn out ones!

    Think cotton

    They were exactly what I wanted… except I wanted thicker, softer cotton. I can’t find that anywhere.

    Small size and pockets

    These were as close to an older style I bought a few years ago, however on these the size runs a little small, the material is a lot thinner and the pockets are almost non existent. Good for pajama bottoms and that's about it.

    Awful pockets

    While very comfortable, these shorts have awful pockets. They are not sewn to the shorts as they are for many other brands and styles. So when removing my wallet, the entire lining comes out with it. Then it has to be stuffed back in before returning my wallet. Very frustrating in the checkout line. Also, the pockets are not very deep and my phone slides out when sitting down or driving my car.

    Very thin material

    I thought these shorts would have been a heavier material. They are see through. More like sleep shorts.

    Great modest fit and finish, great for workouts.

    These shorts have been part of my daily workouts. They look good and feel great with the cotton fibers helping control sweat. The length is very good and modestly cut for ease of motion, without exposing anything. My older shorts were starting to show some wear, so a perfect time to order 6 pair of these shorts

    Defects

    I now have three pair with defects. Two arrived with defects, one developed after some wear. The stitching where the pocket meets the waist band is not has loose threads which unravel. Once it starts, nothing stops. Two pair were delivered this way, and a third started after being washed.

    7.5" cotton shorts

    The shorts are okay, but I would have paid a little more for a heavier material. Also, the pockets are so small my standard size cell phone sticks out of the top
