MS9 F1 Mens Cargo Slim Fit Stretch Work Shorts

Further to below, the crotch to waist (rise) is ridiculously long. Meaning the shorts need to be worn halfway up your stomach to not have the crotch sit too low. I’m probably going to alter these to make the crotch about two or three inches higher. They naturally ‘fall down’ to a position where the crotch length becomes an issue with movement/climbing (probably why another reviewer mentioned having to use a belt).

These do look great. Loads of pockets, also, they’re useful pockets with a bit of girth to them, unlike some brands. The fabric has a lot of stretch, which is great for movement (except with the crotch/waist issue above). It is relatively heavy fabric, being a cotton blend, but I imagine they’d feel reasonably cool in warm weather. They probably won’t last as long as a tougher polycotton blend, though cotton will probably feel a little cooler/less sweaty, so probably a good compromise.

I measured my waist with a tape (I don’t normally buy ‘off-the-peg’ clothes as I’m too tall, at 6’9”) and my waist is exactly 35 1/2” inches. I originally ordered a 36” and it is probably one size too much (it’s measurements were 37” stretching to 43”). I then ordered a 34inch now and it does fit better, but with a crotch/waist length is a bad fit which I am going to have to get altered.

Sizing aside, these do look great, with quite a few useful pockets. Time will tell how the stitching will last, but they do appear pretty good. I’d recommend ordering a couple of sizes and seeing how they go as the waist is very forgiving. Also, for taller people these, for me go down to my knees, which is nice... as hot pants aren’t a good look with my pale legs

Bought these as I can’t stand flappy work ware front pockets. Got the 1st pair wore for a week loved them so ordered a 2nd pair. They are well made.

My husband loved these great fit he’s a 30 waist and only small & they were great fit & quality with plenty of pockets & he liked the phone holder

Good strength elastic fit, not too tight but not loose. Pockets all over the show, easily accessible holster pockets, but they aren't flappy, massive back pockets with Velcro flaps and phone pocket with a velcro flap on the left leg.

Fastens at the front with an offset popper and central button so there is no excess fabric to fold back on itself and cause irritation and a nice long zip with a smooth action. Plenty of belt loops to keep the waistline where you want it.

Glad I took a chance on a small brand. Well worth the price.
