I had bought this same pair on close out at a sports outlet for $6.00 fall of 2011, and wore them almost everyday. I like the brown bison color. These shorts are fairly heavy duty cotton,but loose fitting and cool. I like the deep pockets, I don't loose anything like keys and change. I wear a size 38 and these fit just a tad big, but that's what a belt is for. Would buy these again.
