    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!

    Hi Craig! Thanks for the feedback about the MOAB STRETCH COTTON SHORTS 9". We're glad to hear you found them strong and durable, but we're definitely bummed that the waistband stretch and wrinkling are causing issues for you.

    Your specific notes about the limited waist stretch and the fabric wrinkling are exactly what our design team needs to hear. We want our shorts to perform better in both comfort and appearance, and it sounds like we missed the mark on those fronts with this style.

    Thanks for taking the time to share this honest feedback. It helps us understand where we need to improve our fit and fabric performance.
