Reviews Summary
Customers say these shorts are comfortable and well-constructed with a substantial yet soft fabric. Many reviews mention the quality fit, though some note sizing runs slightly smaller than expected. Common feedback includes praise for the slight stretch in the material and versatility for different activities. While most find them perfect for everyday wear, some mention the high waistband placement and front belt loop positioning. Reviews indicate the shorts work well for casual to dressy occasions, with many appreciating their durability. A few users note they run snugger in the waist compared to similar sizes in other styles.

    Great shorts

    Great shorts. The fit is a bit different than my Original jeans, but the material is different, so that’s the likely culprit.

    They are the most comfortable shorts I own, the design will not restrict your movement, unless you are a contortionist.

    I’ve been a truly happy Origin customer back when Pete was selling Indian clubs and balance boards.

    I will be an Origin customer until I die.
