These cord shorts are not consistent in size, run very, very small in size, and have weak stitching. The fabric seems to be pretty good. I ordered two shorts in size 36 waist. These were much too small, and one pair was 1 inch smaller in the waist than the other (I still comfortably wear some old OP cord shorts in size 34). I returned these, ordered size 38, and paid shipping in ALL directions. Size is snug but fits. The snaps do not hold securely at the waist, and the seam on the rear pocket already needs to be re-stitched. I will NOT order again.
