I purchased 2 pair of these shorts from Macy's and loved them so much, and Macy's didn't carry the same style any more, that I decided to purchase them from Amazon. I made sure they were the "same" model and made my purchase. When I received the shorts, the material was not a heavy as the other pairs and the back pockets had snaps rather than buttons. The quality did not meet my expectations, based on the pairs I had previously purchased, but the shorts, over all, are still comfortable.
