The product is generally well-received, with customers finding it comfortable, well-fitting, and durable. The key positives include the soft and quality material, good fit that doesn't sag or wrinkle, and versatility for casual and semi-formal wear. A few customers noted issues with sizing, such as a tight waist or baggy fit, and the lack of a zipper fly, but these appear to be the minority.
Comfortable, quality material and sized properly. Wish I had ordered more.

Dock Shorts 8"
Fit: True to size
Comfortable with great color selections, but not as rugged and durable as the previously offered canvas style Dock Short that I wish were still available.

comfortable shorts
Fit: True to size
These shorts are well made and very comfortable. There is no fly and the rear pocket is on the right. The drawstring lets me ditch the belt. Very happy.

No strings to flies
Fit: True to size
Easy to don, comfortable, but no fly. I understand it has to do with the draw strings, but can be an inconvenience.

Bought a pair early in Spring. As I practically live in shorts during the summer I bought a second pair. Easy to maintain and wear. This 70 year old is delighted with my purchases

I bought my usual size, small. But these shorts are tighter than usual. How much are they saving by shrinking the patterns? Deck shorts shouldn’t be cut tight. Otherwise, nice sho
