    Great shorts with durable build

    Overall great shorts and have a distinctly durable build to them. I bought two pairs and will be buying more. Great job Origin team! BTW - I contemplated removing one star because they fit one size smaller compared to the jeans I’ve previously purchased. Had to return the first two pairs - FYI for anyone purchasing.

    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.
