I normally wear a 34w but from experience I know one manufacturer's 34 is another's 32. So I decided to order size 36 just to be on the safe side(if it's too big, then I can return it and order size 34).

When these cargo shorts arrived, first thing I noticed was the quality of the fabric; the cotton material felt full-bodied yet soft enough to allow me to feel comfortable.

The two rear pockets and the two cargo side-pockets are nicely sized. One thing I love about Levi's pants/shorts is that many come with a metal button(much more durable than those flimsy sewed on plastic buttons).

I ordered Silver Birch and the color looks nice. Can go easily with a light colored or dark colored shirt. The length was just what I wanted, slightly over my knees.

Now lastly, the waist size. 36 was slightly loose(35 would've been better) but it does come with a belt. Overall I am very pleased with the quality, look, feel, and fit of these cargo shorts from Levi's.
