Husband loves these. I got him two pairs this time. They fit basically like the pic, even on a very tall guy (over 6' 5"). He had gotten his first pair at a local shop and foolishly thought he could buy to his jeans waist size (and he sometimes wears Carhartt jeans, so it was surprising that the first pair didn't fit). He was wearing 36" waist jeans but needed a 40" in these shorts. Once I explained "vanity sizing" to him he got over it.

The fabric is heavy-duty cotton canvas ripstop and there is a little patch of some synthetic fabric on the right pocket edge so if he's carrying a knife or measuring tape clipped there it doesn't damage the pocket. It took my husband about 2 years to wear out the first pair and boy did he, but he is not gentle on his clothes.
