Amazon EssentialsMen's Classic-Fit 9" Chino Short

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

I was pleasantly surprised by how nice these shorts are. The material is super soft and very comfortable to wear. The inside is finished with tape at the waist. Never had a pair of shorts finished this nicely inside. The material washes and comes out of the dryer great, no wrinkles. I couldn't seem to find a pair of shorts in the stores that either fit me correctly or were of a material that wasn't cotton. I do like performance shorts if I'm going to be doing something where I am going to get wet, but for daily wearing, I don't like the non cotton material. These are the best shorts I've ever owned! The price is fantastic too. Very good value for the money. I bought two pair to start out with and almost immediately ordered another pair in a third color. My first impression when I put them on was I didn't think the button closure at the top was very well stitched. It seemed like it was loose and going to fall off. After wearing them for about 3 weeks with multiple times through the washer and dryer, the button is still attached, it seems like it was stitched that way on purpose. I'm very happy with these shorts, I used to wear only Carthardt, but they changed their sizing and have gotten very expensive, these shorts are my favorites now.

Durable, look good, fit great

These were a little tight for my husband. He is 510 and 260 pounds. They fit but we’re very tight so watch the sizes I ordered and extra large because he refused to say he was a 2X. Nice quality.

I recently purchased some new Amazon shirts. They fit me very well. My older shorts are several years old. Fabric is still very good. The colors look good and they still fit me well. I highly recommend Amazon Essentials. Good quality at a fair price. Compare to more expensive brands.

Bought 4 pair of these shorts and every one had loose buttons we had to fix. Would have given 5 stars otherwise.

I got this for my Dad and he tried it on straight from the package. It was not wrinkled and he looked sharp. These shorts can be dressed up with a nice shirt or comfy with a cool tee shirt. A great price too.

Good looking shorts nice color and craftsmanship just a size to small

Good quality shorts which fit well without needing a belt. Would like them to be about an inch longer ideally.

Excelente opción, tela super fresca, muy buena calidad perfecta para clima tropical, moderna y se ve padrisima

They’re good shorts, fits well and not too long. Decent quality for the price.

Ideal leg length, perfect fit and colour, great quality, well finished shorts. Some recently purchased underpants are ideal under these shorts, some open fly trunks, giving good access when nature calls, also good friends too! The pockets are good to access, good size, very comfortable to wear shorts, ideal for relaxing. Very pleased I noticed these, a great buy in every way! Super delivery service, less than 24 hours!

Für den entspannten Preis bekommt man gute Qualität und klassisches Design. Kein Schnickschnack, klassischer gerader Schnitt.Passt super und fühlt sich auch gut an.
