Pant legs are too long, otherwise great!

I don't know why these things have such long pant legs, they go several inches below my knee without rolling up. Other than that I love the design and comfort.

Pros
  • Great for guys with long legs as these hang a couple inches longer then most mens shirts
Cons
  • The shorts aren't very durable and wear out quickly

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great looking cargo shorts.

Everything was great except for the belt buckle, it comes apart to easy and one of them the stich came apart. That's my review.

Pros
  • Stylish messenger style design with cargo pockets for convenience
Cons
  • The waistband doesn't stay in place and rides up

Perfect for taller folks

My husband is more lean and 6'4". He always has trouble finding shorts long enough to get to and/or cover his knees, which he prefers, and so we took a shot with these shorts. They are such a great fit! Great quality, true to size, and has a lot of options. We bought 5 pairs and will certainly buy more after what I would only assume after normal wear and tear. He wore these all summer long and after multiple washes they are still holding up well. Highly recommend and we will be purchasing…

Pros
  • Well made shorts , not enough room for my garbage
Cons
  • The cargo pockets are unnecessary and outdated

I like them, except for the ties

They are good shorts, except for the drawstring around each of the pant legs that tickle your legs. It's annoying. That's my feedback.

Pros
  • The built-in belt adds an extra layer of convenience and style
Cons
  • The shorts make the legs look shorter and stubbier

Mixed feelings about appearance

Go below knee. Has draw string to tighten the bottom of legs. Rarely wear shorts except as pajamas, Different fabric from union bays long pants. Jury is on till I wear them enough. Wanted something I can use at rec.

Pros
  • Provides ample coverage while still allowing for freedom of movement
Cons
  • The pockets start to unravel after a few washes

The waist is too wide so u need to order the smaller size

They seem to me made to "sag" as the waist and hips r the same diameter but just get them a size small and u cant tell the the difference

Pros
  • The perfect length for a relaxed, comfortable fit
Cons
  • The belt buckle is flimsy and easily breaks

Good Short - my new review

Great quality material, Love the look, but a bit snug around the waist, I feel like it should be adjustable or elastic waist

Pros
  • Convenient pockets allow you to carry essential items with you
Cons
  • The material doesn't stretch well and restricts movement

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Thinner Fabric on my review.

I read some reviews about the fabric being flimsy and ripping down seam. However this is true, the short did last me over a year of use, and for the price, it was no problem for me to replace with a new if not couple of pairs.

Pros
  • Great fit
Cons
  • The shorts aren't very versatile and can only be worn casually

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice shorts, tiny pockets

These arent bad shorts. a tad longer than I'd like. Material is thinner than I would expect and those front pockets though?! Barely fit in em. I've got average sized hands and its tough to fit

Pros
  • nice
Cons
  • The pockets aren't deep enough

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Don't let the picture fool you, these are LOOONG bois

Fit is great all around aside from the length of the shorts. I knew in advance that the inseam was of a longer length, and no, I didn't measure so that's on me. But woah. these are some loooong bois. I'm 6'1" and these shorts stopped about four inches below my knee. They also taper a bit, so they end up looking more like clam diggers than shorts. Still liked the print and the fit in and around the waist, so I just cut them off about a quarter-inch below the pockets. The drawstrings in the legs…

Pros
  • Made of high-quality materials for durability and comfort
Cons
  • The cargo pockets look outdated and unfashionable

Revainrating 4 out of 5

comfortable material, good fit

Size ordered fit me correctly. 100% cotton material is a good choice for hot weather, unlike polyester blends which can be sticky feeling. Zipper could be a little smoother in operation. Plenty of pockets.

Pros
  • Good quality. Tight in crotch for me. Lost some weight and they may fit looser in the future.
Cons
  • The material stains easily

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Ripp very easily during activity .

I simply was hiking and they ripped as I was going up small hill.Ordered in past no problems not sure if quality changed. Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • Made by a reputable brand for quality assurance
Cons
  • The shorts don't offer any unique or stylish detailing

Fills out my husband in all the right places

Man, you know how sometimes the right article of clothing can make someone go from a meh look to Holy cow, I married that!? Well that's what these shorts did for my husband's backside. Whooo eeeee, I be liking the fit on these! Way to go whoever created shorts like this. You are a service to women!

Pros
  • Looks great and fit , but quality is so so .
Cons
  • The shorts don't breathe well and cause sweating

Sizing was not correctly tagged

I've been wearing these pants for many years, just bought a replacement pair with same size, but it was clearly wrong, even though the tag showed my size. Sure enough, reordered the same size again , but this time it fit!

Pros
  • Shorts
Cons
  • The material is uncomfortable and scratchy

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Ok not well made on my review.

Button is sewn in cheap buttons. I immediately through the belt that comes with it away. Cargo pocket is massive far to large for being on shorts.

Pros
  • Very good quality, great price.
Cons
  • The cargo pockets are difficult to access while sitting down

not as comfy as they used to be

I used to love these shorts because they are so damn comfy, but these were not, no stretch at all n kinda stiff feeling n small pockets. I love cargo shorts but these are not for me

Pros
  • These are perfect for my 6’ 4" husband. Great quality, too.
Cons
  • The shorts are too baggy and shapeless

It's OK, the cotton could be a little thicker, and the belt is poor quality. That is when I tighten the belt, the whole buckle will twist. So I have to undo it and tighten the belt again being careful not to let it twist. I just need a new belt.

Pros
  • Makes a great gift for any man who loves casual wear
Cons
  • The shorts are too casual for office wear

Regular length shorts for a tall guy

I bought three pairs for my son who is 6 foot 11 inches. These fit him just above the knee. It’s a nice option for tall guys. We count off the ties at the bottom as he like the straight fit.

Pros
  • Machine washable for easy care and maintenance
Cons
  • The belt doesn't match the shorts' color very well

Great Fit, Loose and Very Comfortable.

I purchased a Unionbay messenger short 2 years ago at Macys. Impressed by the fit and comfort, I wanted another pair. Although no longer available, I found the Cordova Belted Messenger Cargo Short available on Best Buy. Priced very competitively, these shorts are light weight and very comfortable for summer wear. At 6' 5" 215 lbs., the size 36 fits comfortably at the hips and reach slightly below the knee. The ripstop material provides for a light weight yet sturdy pair of shorts.

Pros
  • Breathable fabric keeps you cool and comfortable all day long
Cons
  • The pockets are too low and create a saggy look

Bought this style by accident but not bad

I always enjoy cargo pant and these are a bit different lots and lots of pockets. They fit a little bigger than they are supposed to but still good to have. Only issue is the belt. Its really a crappy belt that gets mangleed in a way. If you sit down, the belt "buckler" turns to the side and is difficult to loosen but aside from that I enjoy them. They fit below the knee so if you plan in bike riding, they will be a bit unfortable. Over all 4 out of 5 stars for me.

Pros
  • Cargo shorts are a timeless wardrobe staple that never goes out of style
Cons
  • The shorts aren't very soft or comfortable
