Expensive but worth it

This is my favorite pair of shorts!! I wear them just about everywhere. From walking on the river walk to hanging out at Sea World I never have any issues and feel comfortable all day long. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an awesome pair of shorts 🩳!!!

Fix the pockets

2 years ago
I love this shorts so much, I don’t shop anywhere else for shorts but AA but there’s one thing I wish they could fix and that’s the pockets, the rip so easy, every almost every one of the many I have the right pocket it’s gone, and also one of my cargo pants, please someone heard me out and make better pockets please.

Quality shorts

AE never fails. A great quality short. DEFINITELY not a 5.5, probably around a 7” in length. But overall a great pair of shorts. I’ve bought several pair.

Love/Hate These Cargo Shorts

a year ago
Have to be honest, these are my go to shorts, and that ticks me off. They look better than any other cargo shorts available, fit great, great utility. That's why I keep coming back DESPITE the fact that they are constructed worse than a Yugoslavian subcompact car. The pockets unravel, the backside tears open easily, and the seam at the cuff dissolves before your very eyes. Most frustrating clothing choice I make, which I make every 3 or so months it seems. Grrrrrrrrrr.

Not quite right

Shorts were longer than I wanted and the cargo pockets made them too bulky. Nice shorts but I returned them.

Didn't last long

2 years ago
I love these shorts, but less than a year later I've lost the buttons on most, the bottoms have all started to unravel, and there's holes developing in the waist line areas. AE used to have a long lasting product. What happened...

Cheaply Made

a year ago
The inner pockets seem to be made of tissue paper. They rip from the weight of your cell phone or keys after only a few months of wear. My wallet actually fell through the bottom of my back pocket while I was walking to my car.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Horrible pockets

a year ago
I have several pairs of these cargo shorts in various colors. They are terible, the pockets form holes in them easily. And then when you're sitting somewhere the pockets are designed in a crappy way that if you have anything in your pockets ot falls out. I need to find a better pair of cargo shorts

No, I do not recommend this product.

Dissapointed

a year ago
I was Dissatisfied with these shorts as we brought them home only to notice a long hole or rip next to the right pocket. We bought these from the outlet which is 40 minutes away and won’t be able to spend the time and has to return them. I feel badly because my son really liked the shorts:(

Low Quality Product Lately

2 years ago
I love the look and the fit of these shorts and have been wearing this "cargo style" from AE for pretty much the past 25 years, of course in slightly different variations as the cargo short has changed over the years, but the product quality seems to have gone way downhill recently. I have purchased 4 pairs of these shorts and have had quality issues with all of them. The pockets ripped out in two pair within less than a week and the material felt slightly thicker than a piece of paper. Also, I developed holes on all of them in the backside area right at the seam of the pockets within less than a month after having bought them. I remember the good days when a pair of cargo shorts would last me at least a year or two. :(

Awful

2 years ago
I've been wearing AE shorts and jeans for probably close to 25 years. I've been wearing the same size 33 for close to 15 years. Just spent 100 bucks on 2 pairs of shorts. The waiste is way too big, and the shorts themselves go way past my knees which is really annoying. The fabric feels cheap. This company must of changed their recipe. This will be my last purchase.

POOR QUALITY, NOT 100% COTTON

3 years ago
Do not buy these shorts expecting 100% cotton. These shorts look weird, and they feel weird. I have no problem spending $50 on shorts from AE but not when the quality is so rough. I miss AE before they were woke. Everything woke turns to.....well you get the idea.
