Love them

These are my go to summer shorts, I buy a pair in the spring and towards the end of summer every year, not because they don’t last long, but because they are so comfortable and the fit is exactly true to size. As a 6’4” 280lb guy sometimes it’s hard to find the right fit. They nailed it.

Cargo Shorts Never Out of Style

I know that all fashion mags say "no to cargo shorts ". But with my guys, they are the ONLY shorts! AE never misses with these longer length cargos. Perfect every time. Please keep making them and please don't change them!

I buy these for my boyfriend every year! Incredible pockets and color. He's 6'3" and prefers his shorts right at his knee or even a little below and these fit that request. He's normally a 30" waist but these run just a tad small in the waist so he sized up. Will continue to buy! #AEReviewSweepsEntry

The description says it comes with a 12" inseam, but it actually comes with only 11". Other than that, these cargo shorts are perfect. I love them. AE should sell more cargo short designs and colors and make them with a 12" inseam.

Best Buy I’ve had in years

2 years ago
I’m one that normally is extremely hesitant to buying clothing online due to each piece of clothing having a different fit leading me to end up driving to a store near me anyway. LET ME TELL YALL, The fit on these has completely overturned my opinion on online ordering. AE did it again with these shorts, the long boarding discontinued khakis have nothing on these baby’s. Best buy.

Husband is 35 and likes his shorts to come to at least his knees which is hard to find these days. He’s 6’. These fit perfect and are a great length. Not too long and not too short.
