    Great fitting work shorts

    Perfect fit, the right weight fabric, and even if they were a little tight , there’s a little bit of stretch

    Baggy

    I love the way the Moab taper pants fit. I wish the shorts were more fitted like the taper pants. They are too baggy for me.

    "Built to Move, Made in the USA: Origin Shorts Crush It"

    I ordered a pair of the Origin Moab Stretch Cotton 9" Shorts, and I'm seriously impressed. Right out of the gate—American made, all materials sourced right here in the U.S., and from a small company that clearly cares about what they put out.

    The quality? Top notch. The cotton has a solid feel to it, but there’s just enough flex to move comfortably without feeling stiff or baggy. The fit is absolutely dialed in—snug where it should be, relaxed where you want it. Perfect for everyday wear or whatever you’re getting into.

    I’ve also been wearing their Nyloc No-Gi Shorts—another killer product. Super functional, lightweight, and durable. You can tell these guys don’t cut corners.

    No doubt I’ll be buying more shorts and definitely grabbing a pair of jeans next. If you’re looking to support American craftsmanship and want gear that’ll last, Origin delivers.

    Disappointed with Inconsistent Sizing

    Ordered three pairs, all in the same size, and all fit significantly differently. One pair is exactly what I expected, one fits a bit too small, and one pair I can’t even button.

    Two emails looking for help haven’t been responded to after a week.

    I strongly want to support a high quality, made in the USA product. This experience has me questioning if Origin is that company.

    Hi John,

    Thank you for sharing your honest feedback regarding our MOAB STRETCH COTTON SHORTS 9".

    We are truly disappointed to learn about the significant sizing inconsistencies you've experienced across your three pairs of shorts. Having multiple garments in the same size fit so dramatically differently, to the point where one pair is unwearable, clearly fell short of providing the consistent, premium quality you rightfully expected from a Made in USA product.

    Your experience with varying fits among identical sizes, combined with the lack of response to your customer service inquiries, is particularly concerning and does not reflect the level of service we strive to maintain. We understand how frustrating it must be to invest in multiple pairs of premium shorts only to receive products that don't align with standard sizing expectations, and then face difficulties in obtaining assistance.

    While we remain committed to our mission of producing high-quality American-made products, we recognize that both our product consistency and customer service failed to meet the standards that justify your investment and support. Your feedback about these specific quality control issues and communication gaps will help inform our improvement efforts across both customer service and manufacturing operations.
