Stretch canvis fabric, fit, pockets, all fantastic. Wish they had more colors. Only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars… I have a couple pairs a few years old and they have faded badly. The top section is dark and then gradates down to washed out color. So they just are now stay at home VS. going out shorts.
Perfect fit. Love them
This is a very durable well made pair of shorts. So much of my outdoor shorts these days are made of more synthetic materials, I suppose it’s for breathability and athletic fit, however they just don’t feel rugged and long lasting like clothes used to be.I’d never heard of The American Outdoor Brand before ordering these, but I like what they’ve done here so now I’m looking for more.The materials overall do feel more like construction pants which make me confident to wear these in tough er terrain. In fact I was just bouldering at a National Park and I grabbed these knowing that I’d be rubbing against rough and jagged rocks. And just as expected, these came out without a scratch or blemish in sight. I did a lot of climbing that day, often sliding against rough rocks but no worries thanks to these.Plus I appreciate the additional touches they made from zippers to pockets. In addition to the main front and back pockets, there’s also a vertical pocket next to a horizontal zipper pocket on the right side. The zipper is especially helpful during activities, projects, and adventures in preventing important IDs, cards, etc from falling out. I sometimes need to remove my wedding ring in risky situations so a closed pocket is vital for loss prevention. I should also point out that done of the pockets are reinforced as well so I’m especially confident these will endure for years to come.Please note: My review is part of Amazon's Vine Program which provides products at a reduced cost in exchange for honest, accurate reviews.

These have fast become some of my favorite shorts. They're made of a durable material that's solid but not too hot, and they don't have the stupid looking jean pockets like some shorts of similar material do. You've got the standard vertical pocket seams you'd expect. There's also a good selection of pockets on them, which is great for holding the various things I bring with me on the daily. They fit as expected and are pretty comfortable, though they are a bit stiff when you first put them on after the wash (similar to how jeans are). I quite like them and thoroughly recommend them however.
