Carhartt Men's B147 Loose Fit Canvas Utility Work Short - 10 Inch

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I bought these at a store first, where I was able to discover that I needed them one waist size up, then immediately bought two more colors via Amazon. I also bought a second pair of the color I prefer, just so I know where that next pair is "coming from."Color:The colors are the standard cotton shorts colors. If they come back in the light brown, I will buy those too. Fit:The fit is comfortably full through the seat and thigh. The reach is at least medium, if not a bit longer than medium. (A must for walking.) As I note above, the waist in these shorts is larger than I wear in trousers, so one may need to go up one size. Pockets:Cargo shorts are for the birds (all that weighty stuff wearing holes in one's legs, or just useless, empty pockets), but the work-style pocketing is good for me. These are better because they have a tool pocket on each outside seam, plus a slip for a knife so that it does not have to be taking up room in a front or back pocket. Style:They are work shorts with a 10-inch hem. Perfect for me. However, I do not wear them as work apparel; I walk in them, frequently several miles a day. (Just finished in one pair a 100k walk abroad: comfortable all the way, every day.) Material thickness:I am only comfortable in relatively heavyweight 100% cotton. That's what these shorts are. Value for money:All kinds of expensive boutique shorts are out there, which I have tried, but none of them work for me. The hems are nearly all too short. The reach is always too short, the legs and seat not full enough.These shorts are the best shorts I have found in 30 years.

Great Shorts! Thick and Durable. Breathe well and Stretch well. Large and deep cell phone pocket. I have the Samsung Z Fold Brick. It fits and stays in the cell phone pocket at work. Inside of the Pockets are the same thick material as the shorts. Dirt and dust wipes right off. I am very happy with them. If they last I'll prob get another color.Sizing:I read the reviews about sizing up. I would agree that carhartt pants and Shorts Run Small at the waist, at First. After I've worn them for an hour or so the waist stretches a whole size up. I normally wear a 38 waist. Lately my 38 are falling down and bunching up with my belt. I'm 6' 225. My 38 s have been baggy on me after that initial hour I was talking about. I do have a slight belly and my pants sit underneath my belly on my lower waist. I ordered 36. They were tight as hell only on the waist. I wore them to work and sure enough, they are a 38 now. I also do NOT need a belt with them! I also hang dry my work clothes because they get washed so much. I hope this helps people that are in between sizes like me. Just know if u get the size down or exact waist, it's gonna hurt your belly until u stretch them out.

These appear to be the same material and construction as the Carhartts that I've worn for nearly 10 years and can't wear out but finally outgrew them.The material is tough but they're nice enough to wear out to casual dinner, etc.There are plenty of belt loops.The phone pocket accommodates my big iPhone 12+.I take 'em out of the dryer warm and smooth 'em out and wrinkles are not a problem.I'm 6'3" 260 lbs and wear pants below my belly and the Relaxed Fit is good for me. The Loose Fit didn't work for me.

Comfortable and durable cargo shorts, but the side cargo pockets are very small and unsecured

I bought a few pair of baggy cargo shorts years ago and I kept wearing them long after they were worn out because I couldn't find anything I felt was comfortable. All the shorts were either too short, too stretchy, or tight. I tried a pair of these and have reordered 3 more pair. I'm 6'3" and they hit right at my knee. They are roomy, but look up to date style wise and don't look to baggy. I like my pants to come up high on my waist. I will say these do that and possibly come up a little too high. I wear my shirt tail out so it's not visually an issue. Actually, I like it because I'm not tugging and pulling them up all the time. They have an extra front pocket that a larger cell phone fits in perfectly. The material is really tough and they should last a long time. The picture in the ad makes them look a little hokey and does not do them justice. I highly recommend you give these a try if you are looking for comfortable fit.

Love these shorts. They fit great, look great and are very durable.

I have had several pairs of these shorts and wear them every day during the summer. I am often outside all day working on our property and rentals and these shorts provide the comfort that I was looking for along with a pocket big enough to put my phone which is in a case in that I don’t have to sit on it. The quality of these has been fantastic And I plan on continuing to get them as long as they’re available.

I had previously purchased a pair of Carhartt Men’s Rugged Flex Relaxed Fit Canvas Cargo Work Short, size 33. They fit perfectly and I love the shorts. I’m tall and loved the 11” inseam. Purchased these Carhartt Men’s Loose Fit Canvas Utility Work Short with a 10” inseam in a size 33. The fit was much, much tighter than the Rugged Flex Relaxed Fit. Additionally, because of the “loose fit” nature of these shorts, the legs had way too much room in them for my own personal taste. Reminded me of similar baggy shorts that I used to purchase twenty years ago. Returning them to purchase another pair of the Relaxed Fit shorts.
