Carhartt Mens Rugged Flex Relaxed Fit 8in Canvas Work Short

I've got a couple pairs of these for my summer time carpentry work and a couple pairs that I keep nice just to wear casually. They are great. I'm a stocky guy and oftentimes I wish that they had a little bit shorter insane but they're not bad. Like others have said the drawstring is a little weird and I've always cut it out. However I just realized that since it's placed on the inside if you don't need a belt you can roll it over to shorten the length a little bit! I need a belt for working but for casual use this does okay.

Best shorts I’ve owned

I really like these shorts, they are durable and comfortable and the waist is true to size. The only downside is the pocket hole openings are a little bit small for my hands that I have to put my hand in at the right angle and squeeze it through a little bit.

Hands down these are my new favorite shorts. I will be buying more.

For someone like me who has short legs and a bit of a belly, finding comfortable work shorts can be a problem. As a handyman, I do not like cargo shorts on the job. Too many difficult to access pockets. There are no flaps or velcro on these and the inseam is short enough that the bottom hem is not below my knees. The stretch waist with the draw string makes them very comfortable around my waist and I can choose to wear a belt or not. The material is also a very comfortable cotton.

This is my second pair of the Carhartt shorts, the first being more like carpenter's shorts. These are still good quality but they stopped making or selling the first type. They are a comfortable fit for me; 5' 7" and 195 lbs.I like these and would buy them again.

No complaints at all. Very durable, washable fabric. The 8" inseam is perfect (for me). The little extra pocket near the right seam is useful. And they fit well and are very comfortable. I just ordered another pair, and I hope they will again be available next spring. As of this fall, pickings are slim.

These shorts were very well made as to be expected from this quality brand. Unfortunately did not fit- too tight despite correct size so I think they run small. Had to return them but wouldn’t hesitate ordering this brand again.
