These shorts are perfect. Good price, good quality. I’ll get every version in almost all colors.
The manufacturer decided to put 3 cardboard presentation labels attached to the shorts themselves which means you get small holes (2 per cardboard so you get 6 holes). It doesnt show if you use dark colors, but the white shorts look like you’ve been playing darts with them. Such a shame to damage such a good product. This is the reason I can’t put 5 stars. Things to know:
– These are straight, size half a point up compared to regular clothes. I use 36 regularly, I took 38 and they are very very slightly bigger but fit correctly with a belt. Pick your usual size for beltless. – You’ll need to iron the crease with a lot of strenght and heat on the front and back, and it doesn’t totally go away. It’s still presentable however. – Pocket size is good, you can carry a phone without it dropping. – Length is good. – Very soft. – Lots of belt loops, so you get higher than average support compared to brands. I’m looking at you Puma. – Back pocket is not sewn in, so you don’t have to manually rip your clothes.

These are great shorts for golfers. My husband said that they are very comfortable. We both love this color (string), and the wash up beautifully. He’s been wearing Haggar shorts for years because he loves the adjustable waist and the quality construction and fabric! You can’t wear them out!

Due to side effects of medication and a somewhat variable workout schedule, I have a highly fluctuating weight and waistline. I bought these (as well as some Haggar long pants) to keep up with those changes and to keep fitting comfortably. When I am at my best, they fit with no elastic expansion. When I put on weight, I can see the elastic expanding as I do them up yet they still fit comfortably.
I find them very cool to wear in the heat and humidity. Comfortable and they look good as well. On the few times I have tucked in my shirt, it stays tucked-in. They wash up well.
I have been wearing Haggar long pants (various styles) for the past four years and found them to be durable and very comfortable.

I like the comfort and fit. I give it the Sgt. Swag stamp of approval.

Good product, comfortable to wear, don’t get creased easily. I’ve had a pair that I bought in US for years and they still look good. Delivered on time. No problems.

Cool 18’s are comfortable, look great, hold a crease and dry quickly. Most of the members at my golf club wear Cool 18’s. The stretch waist band is definitely a plus and the pockets are reasonably deep. The only two suggestions I have are; taper the shorts and make them about 1 inch shorter. I have mine tailored this way and the feel a lot better when they are just above the knee as see in the Hagger Ads. Also, one should read the material specs before buying. Haggar introduced a Cool18 gabardine that , in my opinion, was an inferior product with shallow pockets and a nasty gabardine material which was uncomfortable and didn’t dry as quickly.

My husband is an extremely picky person when it comes to clothes. Not picky like name-brand-only picky, we are talking whiny it-doesn’t-fit-right picky. Insert eye roll. We found these shorts at Goodwill of all places and he loved them. So much he refused to wear another pair to work. So when they started getting threadbare and nasty we needed a new pair. Thank God we found them online. If your husband is stuck at age 5 as well, these may just work. Buy in bulk.
2020 update – he still loves them and bemoans all other shorts and pants. SUPER upset that his new job doesn’t allow him to wear shorts to work. “Do you suppose my shorts company makes pants?” 🙄 probably….

After reading a lot of reviews, I bought these as golf shorts for my husband, who’s particular about his golf clothes. He absolutely loves them. They fit great, look neat, and keep him cool. Got him the exact same size he wears in pants. Saw them in a store shortly thereafter and they were asking $75 a pair for the exact same thing! Came back to Amazon and bought another pair for under $25.

Buen short para golf, lo positivo es el la cintura elastica que da mayor comodidad, el largo es adecuado y la tela está bien (no es como la tela de los shorts puma que es tipo impermeable) esta tela es tipo pantalon de vestir de poliester. Su diseño es tradicional, con botones en las bolsas traseras lo que puede dificultar el usar una tarjeta de scores y guardar el guante, yo se los voy a quitar. Es corte clasico, por tanto un poco ancho de pierna comparado con shorts modernos de marcas como puma y adidas.
Por el precio está muy bien.

I need black flat front shorts for work and you wouldn’t believe how hard it is to find them – everything is cargo and I love cargos but my job doesn’t allow them.
Finally found these. I was looking for 11” but I figured 10.5” wouldn’t be bad. Then I got these… 9.5”. This is some good old fashioned buffoonery and Amazon should not allow sellers to false advertise like this.
Yes it’s only an inch but I’m 6’2”/6’3” so an inch (in shorts *wink*) goes a long way.

These are nice, plain front shorts. I’m a pretty big guy, so the straight fit seems just a bit snug for my tastes. But I tend to wear my clothes loose. If your looking for shorts with just a bit more room, try the “PGA TOUR Men’s Expandable Flat Front Short”. Overall, though, I’m happy with this purchase and I have been wearing these shorts alot.

I don’t buy any other shorts. Ever.
I discovered this brand about three years ago, and I am never going back to any other type of shorts. They are comfortable and lightweight. Most important they are perfect for *ahem* bigger men. The waistband is stretchy just the way I need it to be.
Pros:
•Durable material •Lightweight •Inexpensive for the quality
Cons:
•I have noticed they get dirty very easily. Nothing a wash can’t fix but, I am astonished how quickly they accumulate dirt.
Overall, I recommend these for anyone that wants to show off their legs while being comfortable.
