Amazon EssentialsMen's Classic-Fit 9" Chino ShortsOEKO-TEX STANDARD 100

These are really great! I bought 2 pair at first for my man friend. They fit him so well and looked so nice, that I bought him 2 more. They are a little lighter weight than say a land’s end or Eddie Bauer short, but they are sturdy nonetheless. Great price too. I recommend these shorts.

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

These shorts are a fantastic addition to my summer wardrobe. The classic fit is comfortable and true to size, providing ample room through the hip and thigh. The 100% cotton twill fabric is breathable and soft, making them ideal for warm days. They have a clean, polished look that works well for both casual and slightly dressier occasions. At this price point, they're an excellent value.

Dynamite shorts - Pros - 1) nice mid-weight really soft cotton, 2) perfect fit for me, 3) mine are made in Bangladesh which for me is a big plus because they are not made in our main economic competitor's country, 4) both rear pockets have buttons so you can protect your wallet or other stuff you put back there, 5) my Samsung cell fits in left front pocket, 6) great price. CONS - not made in the U.S.

Nice clean fit and very sturdy. Love the pockets, nice placement and nice depth.

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).

I ordered these shorts as casual wear for my husband - they are true to size, and are made of a durable material that, while a little too heavy for golf, should mean that they will last for many wearings. They wash well, and don't wrinkle too easily - all in all a great value for the money!

I have 5 pair of these in different colors. The fabric is lightweight, soft and the color is true to the pics. The front pockets are large enough for wallet and keys in one pocket and a cell phone in the other. The back pockets tend to bunch and show through if empty. The button and zipper are good quality and the stitching is well done. These ride mid-waist and have a larger seat for the waist size that can be a little baggy. The crotch rides a little low and needs a lift before sitting.The reason I only gave them 4 stars is the sizing is not consistent between colors and they run small. I comfortably wear 32" fitted Levi's jeans and wanted something a little looser for lounging. After reading other reviews I ordered size 34 in 3 colors. 2 pair fit a little tighter than I expected but comfortable The olive color was too tight to button. I returned them and got a size 36 which fit a little loose and more like what I originally wanted.If you find the right fit (Amazon does make it easy) these shorts are a great value, stylish and quite comfortable.
