Amazon Essentials Men's Classic-Fit 9" Cotton Twill Chino Shorts with Button-Through Pockets

Great Fit, Great price! Definitely buy again.

Love em. Fit great and look great. Love the chino pockets and they feel durable.

Great look. You may want to go a little higher on size. I have a 33-inch waist and these fit a bit snug. I moved the button over but will try 34s next time.

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

True fit. You could even wear them with a casual shirt.

Overall, these shorts are affordably priced and are very nice. They look great and fit well (once I got the correct size). The fabric is soft, comfortable, and of good quality. The length of the shorts is just where it should be. The only issue I had with these shorts is that the waist is cut way too big. My waist is 32" and I have rarely had any issues when buying shorts/pants with a 32" waist. Not with these. I ordered 3 colors with a 32" waist and all 3 were very big. I measured them to be around 34". So I returned them and reordered the same shorts in 30" and 31". The 30" fit snuggly. The 31" were still just a bit bigger than a normal 32" short, but fit well enough for me to keep them. If not for the hassle of ordering multiple sizes and returning the ones that did not fit, I would have rated these at least 4 stars (maybe 5).

Great fit and great price

I have tried more expensive shorts from other companies, and was struggling a little with size and feel. I ordered a pair of these shorts as a test. I love them! They feel great and look awesome. They are the perfect length on me. I am 5'9" with a 30 inch inseam. The material has a medium weight feel which will be good for spring through summer weather. Not too thin, not too hot. They feel solid and the zipper feels like it should last. They are 4 pocket shorts, and I am leaving my cargo shorts behind in favor of a classier look. These shorts hit that mark nicely. They are easy to care for, but I do sometimes press my shorts and shirts just to keep things crisp. These are a great value for the money. Based on my first pair, I bought every color to fill out my wardrobe. There has been no shrinking or fading. The material seems to be durable.

Me quedan bien de talla pero los veo muy anchos.

El color está genial. La tela se siente bien, es fresco, es cómodo, versátil. Solo hay un gran problema: la cintura es como 457 tallas más chica que el resto del short y no es elástica!!! Normalmente en pantalón soy talla 32-33. Tuve que pedir un 36, aún no cerraba el botón y el short de plano ya parecía falda. Mal ahí, porque la vdd la prenda se ve increíble.. bueno, se vería sí la cintura estuviera bien hecha.

Lovely pair of shorts. Comfortable, and a good fit.

Good value and well made for the money
