Amazon EssentialsMen's Classic-Fit Cargo Short (Available in Big & Tall)

I worked in an auto shop and wanted some professional looking pants for the summer while I worked outside in the 90+ degree heat and these things did the job. They were cool and the pockets were deep and held a lot of things. If you are a woman purchasing these, go up a size or two especially if your tookus is a little on the larger size. Since they are a mens cut it can be difficult sizing when you got a dairy air from the gods, but they are good pants and I recommend them if you need lots of pockets and space for tools and what have you.

I'm fairly tall and thin and these fit just above the knee. Comfortable. Material seems of good quality.

Price and fit are great. Have not washed them yet, so there may be an update. Only draw back was leg opening size. I'm a big guy, but the leg opening is snug when sitting. Wash OK and will buy again.

What can I say? My girlfriend likes the way they look on me.

You will need to get them hot out of the dryer and fold and press down any pocket flap and the hems. They wrinkle and turn up. 36 “ waist was a little big and it did shrink up some in the washer & dryer.

A previous review had trouble with the cargo pocket buttons. They seem fine to me. Pretty standard to have a flap over the buttons to prevent snagging. Shorts fit fine and seem to be made ok. I just got them so will update if I have quality issues

Love them

Very comfortable and durable. This is the second time I buy this. I was very pleased with them.

I bought these shorts with trepidation due to the vastly differing reviews on Amazon. Some said they were far too small and some said miles too big. One reviewer even said they were cut funny and cut into his bum crack uncomfortably. My son really needed something similar for work and I couldn't find a pair of black cargo shorts anywhere else so in the end I just went for it and ordered his normal size with my fingers crossed that they would fit OK.When they arrived he was out so I laid them up against another pair of his shorts, bought from Tesco that I knew fitted him well and the waistband was EXACTLY the same size and sure enough, when he came home and tried them on, they fitted him fine. He always wears a size 30 inch waist which is a fraction loose on him but he uses a belt and prefers them comfy. I asked him if they cut anywhere or were loose anywhere else and he did a few Ninja type moves in them to demonstrate that they were not uncomfortable, did not cut into him or restrict his movement in any way. They are not made from a stretchy fabric but the material is very nice and the shorts look smart, despite the pockets on the leg. There is no sag or loss of shape if you use the pockets, provided they are not over-loaded.So, if you are thinking about buying these shorts and are put off by the contradicting reviews, I would just go for it. Different retailers have different ideas about sizing and some cut stingily and others generously so I would just buy your normal size and have a little faith.

As a girl, I hate that your only options for shorts are generally skin tight, very short and with tiny or no pockets. These are the opposite, and exactly what I wanted. Amazing quality especially for such a reasonable price, huge deep pockets and come down to the knee. Even after many washes they were still in good nick. After one day of wearing them I'd already ordered a second pair and my girlfriend had also ordered some! For any girls who are considering buying these - I'm a size 10 trousers and the 29 fits perfectly, whilst my girlfriend is a 14 and the 33 was perfect for her.

I simply don't understand this. Amazon's guide for the product said go for a size down as they're a big fit for the size. So I did that, and sure enough, too small. What on earth is the point in that? They shouldn't stock gear which isn't accurately sized, I see no reason why clothes shouldn't be made properly, with correct sizing? Now wasted another hour as website has a bug and locker drop-off for return not selectable (spent ages on phone while they looked into it and got nowhere).Product seemed fine, quality looked fine at a glance, but no idea of durability as naturally I'm returning them.

I must admit I was surprised on how good quality is of these shorts. I wanted something to wear in the hot weather while gardening and not show the marks. The material is really tough and the additional pockets come in handy. The only trouble is, my wife has got her eye on them so looks like I'm going to have to buy extra pair.

Brilliant. Do NOT waste time hesitating, just BUY! Quality of fabric? Excellent. Fit? Very nice. Stitching? Expert. Even down to the fact that the cargo pockets are 2 button closings instead of the usual rip open hook & eye (can't say Velcro, that's a trade name) makes these shorts top quality in my humble opinion. And all at a thoroughly decent price. But they're Amazon - what else would you expect?
