measure yourself first

Here's the deal....when you buy shorts or jeans from say Old Navy, Levi's, Wrangler, etc. they are not sized true to size. They are sized to make you feel better about yourself, not the actual size of your waste. For example, I wear Old Navy "loose" jeans in a size 34"x34". I'm an averaged sized, athletic built guy. HOWEVER, my true measurements are a 38" waste and a 32" inseam. This is how Dickies, Carhartt, and most dresswear(dress pants) are sized...by your ACTUAL SIZE, not the fabricated size most popular companies use to sell everyday fashion clothes. When you buy jeans that are a 34"x34", it makes you feel thin and tall....when you buy pants true to size(like Dickies, Carhartt, etc.) that are 38"x32" in doesn't "feel" as good to say you wear a 38x32 instead of a 34x34. See what most clothing companies are doing here?....making you feel good right? It works...marketing. So, by taking my ACTUAL WASTE SIZE (38), and using that measurement to buy my Dickies and Carhartt shorts that are sized PROPERLY, they fit perfect...imagine that! Bingo...the secret fashion clothing companies don't tell you. Suprprise, you're not a 34, you're really a 38! Measure yourself....guarantee your waste is about 4 inches bigger than your "X" brand jeans say it is. Oh yeah...review of the product. Dickies shorts are great for work and play...look good and tough as nails. Highly recommend. 11" shorts hit me about the knee standing, and come above the knee sitting. These 13" shorts are slightly below the knee standing, and at the knee to partially covering the knee sitting. Hope my sizing info helps others! Buy your actual waste size(measure it with a flexible tape) and I guarantee they will fit properly. This is usually going to be roughly 4 inches bigger than what you think you wear, but at least 2.

Perfect!!!

Love It!!! Perfect fit!!! Love them!!!

Look professional but feel comfortable

Dickies Men's Loose Fit 13" Multi-Pocket Work Short. These shorts have the classic fit that you love with all the pockets you need for work. You won't need to worry about keeping these work shorts pristine thanks to their wrinkle resistant treatment and stain repellant treatment. Dickes work apparel pants and shorts last just about forever.

Sizing is larger than what you measure

So I measured my waist and my hips with a tape measure. Waist: 44 Hips: 42. I normally wear Levi's (36x30) at my hips, so I ordered size 42. They arrived in size 42, which was correct. But when I put them on at the hips, they are way too large, like, I can fit a softball between my body and the shorts' waistband. When I pull them up to my waist, they are just a bit loose. SO, my figuring is that they are sized a bit more than 2 inches larger than reality. I'll send them back and get a size 40 to see what happens. I'll review those as well so you can see my results. I'll also not be ordering relaxed fit 11" inseam instead of loose fit 13" inseam. These loose fit 13" inseam feel/look like I'm wearing my mother's culottes, as they end 3 or 4 inches below my knees! Nothing wrong with that--just not my tempo... EDIT: I actually tried different sizes on at a big box store; I found that 38 waist relaxed fit 13" inseam fits best. Just a little bit of extra wiggle room. Again, I measure 42" at my hips, and the size 38 sits on my hips just right. Otherwise, Dickies make fantastic affordable shorts and pants! Tough as nails, and comfortable (once you figure out your size). I'm fairly rough with them; skateboarding serves as my quality test, and Dickies last forever. I'm having to figure out my size because I'm buying my first new ones ever; I've always just bought them at thrift stores before, so I never really knew what I was getting, just looking for the Dickies tag and trying different ones on until I found the ones that fit.

Durable Comfortable

Durable. Comfortable. Stain resistant .What more can a person ask for. They fit as expected. If you plan on wearing low on the hips. Buy a waist size larger by an inch. This model is made to fit above or high on the hips. Even wearing them high the 13 inch inseam still covers the knees while standing. If you plan on wearing tbem lower they do offer an 11 inch inseam version. Dickies shop clothes are as good as work clothes get. Plus there always priced good compared to some of the other work wear companies.

Very nice

As always, great quality with Dickies. People complaining about the smell from the factory, seriously wash them twice and it's gone. These hold up through everything, I just wish I knew how baggy the "loose fit" was. A little too baggy for me, but they're still nice and work perfectly. Durable, comfortable, and fit great. Just remember with Dickies to buy a size up. Unless your size is a little snug already, then go two sizes up and use a belt. Trust me, still super comfortable and nobody can even tell. Better than being too snug.

Excellent shorts, they run really small though

I’ve always loved dickies shorts. These are quality made and last a long time. They do lose their color a little bit just like any clothes so I guess there’s not much to say there. One thing I do want to include is how small they run. In most of my pants I wear a 33 waist or some refer to it as 33 inseam. With dickies I would go three sizes up. I ordered a 33 and had to return them for a 36 and they still running really tight. Besides that they’re excellent shorts

Stiff & just a tad to tight

They are a tad tighter in the waist then anticipated. I would order 1 size up. My husband wears a 36 in all shorts and pants and he put them on and they were tight and they are loose fit. He said he will keep them & hope to stretch them out a little. They were also extremely stiff so had to wash them a couple times before he could wear them to loosen them up. But he said they will work for what he wanted for work.

Best all around work shorts Ive ever owned.

I bought 2 pair of these shorts 3+ years ago, and I've put them through daily hard use. Both pairs still hold up and I'm working in a pair right now. I run a pressure washing company, and these things can hold up to the harshest chemicals I've thrown at them. I've burnt and cut holes in them, and the holes don't rip. The main clasp (where the button is on other shorts) got a little loose after a few years and I just squeezed it together with some pliers, and it's as strong as the day I bought them. The pockets have held nails, screws, razor blades, you name it, and there's not a hole in them. I'm a welder, and these things are pretty resistant to slag and sparks and dont burn through easily.I couldn't recommend these shorts highly enough, and the only reason I need more is because these are covered in paint and I look like a slob when I bid on jobs.

Classic shorts

I just realized my last pair (same size, same color) was bought over 5 years ago. They may be a little out of style, but when a piece of clothing lasts 5 years of being a mechanic, don't settle for less. Serious, I wear these twice a week, 10 months of the year. They are my go-to on weekends and outings. I wash them every 1-2 days of wear, and the old pair was awesome. 5 stars just for a $35 pair of shorts (back then) lasting longer than any pair of slacks or jeans I own. My current gripe: These are outta style homie. They're big, like 99 JNCO's big. They waist is small. I am a 38 waist in all my other jeans, and a 40 in dickies. They also have very small belt loops, so you'll have to forgo the studded belt. (yes, I still have mine) So yes, they have a quirky fit, but they feel amazing. This actual pair had a horrible smell from the starch or something; a few washes or campfires will take care of that. The cell pocket is still gigantic, and my favorite of any of the 'cell-pocket' on clothing. The color on the Navy is very accurate to the picture too. So ya, I'll keep wearing them just cause I'd rather only buy clothes every half-century. But I'll wear these like basketball shorts: only when I ain't out to impress anybody, and necessity must trump style.
