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!

The shorts are comfortable, appear well made and look good. I will see how they look after the first wash. I ordered Navy, item arrived, packaging label stated 'Navy' unfortunately they are not the stated colour. If you order Navy you can expect to receive charcoal or black. I'll keep as they look okay, bit disappointed but will go elsewhere for a Navy pair of shorts. Guess I should have ordered black and maybe I'd have got the colour I want.

I was after a plain pair of shorts for the upcoming warm weather (Yeah really!), and thought I’d take a chance on this pair. I’ve previously bought an Amazon Essentials crew neck sweater and was more than happy with the quality for the price, and it’s fair to say I’m more than happy with these.

Colour is exactly as described and shown on the product listing.

They’re extremely comfortable to wear, possibly the most comfortable I’ve worn in the style.

Length is just what I wanted without looking like a 42yr old skater boy!

Nice deep pockets that each hold a wallet, car and house keys comfortably.

Colour has not faded in the wash, nor have they shrunk in the tumble (Warm weather…what was I thinking??).

All in all more than happy with the item, would highly recommend, and I’m almost certain to buy in another colour to compliment my wardrobe!

**Update 08/06/2024**

Bought a second pair in grey reduced to £14 with a flash deal…seriously cannot go wrong with these shorts!

Shorts are very comfortable and true to size, definitely don't come up small so order your correct waist size.
Sadly I chose the pale blue colour which has really suffered after a couple of washes they now look very faded and lost their shape. £20 purchase, great fit, poor colour fading.

Reviewed in the United States on 7 November 2021
Size: 32WColour: Teal BlueVerified Purchase
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

Size: 38WColour: BlackVerified Purchase
These shorts arrived really fast. They are made of a good material. The seams seem to be well sewn. They fit perfectly to size, im a 38 and they fit me exaclty as a 38 should. The only problem i have is the leg is a little short, as im used to wearing little longer at the knee or just past the knee. These shorts fit just above my knee, which is ok cuz i plan on wearing them with casual dress shirts which maches the look and style of them. I am also surprised at the quality from them cuz theyr amazon essential shorts. So overall i am pleased and happy with my new shorts. I actuallly ordered another pair from amazon essential in grey. So yes i would recomend these shorts and yes id order from amazon essentials again. The value is priced awsomly for these shorts. If your reading this...order a pair and see for your self, if your not happy you can always return them.
