    Decent shorts

    These are a bit tougher and wear well. A bit long though, could be shorter.

    Great shorts

    I have a lot of miles on these and i think they will outlast me. I do wish they sold a 8" or 7" version, i had these hemmed to be a bit above the knee.

    Thank you for the honest fit feedback! Knowing exactly how our gear fits on real bodies is crucial as we fight to completely rebuild the American apparel supply chain from the roots up. We engineered the Moab Stretch Cotton Shorts to feature a clean, structured silhouette, but hearing that this retired model runs a bit small on you is invaluable information for our design team. We want your gear to feel perfect—if these are a bit too snug for your rotation, please reach out to our support crew so we can help you find a current, high-performance alternative that locks in the exact fit you need!
