How to Measure

Diagram showing where to measure chest, natural waist, and hips.

CHEST:

Measure just under arms and across shoulder blades holding the tape firm and level. If your chest falls between sizes, order the next size up.

NATURAL WAIST:

Bend side to side and find the natural bend in your body; this is your natural waist. Note: It may not be the smallest point.

HIPS:

Measure the fullest point between your natural waist and crotch.

Note: For best results measure over your undergarments. Use a cloth measuring tape.

Fits

Slim Fit: slimmer through hip and thigh; straight leg. Relaxed Fit: relaxed through hip and thigh; tapered leg. Loose Fit: full through hip and thigh; wide leg.

Great shorts, downsize waist
I love the shorts, but I have to downsize the waist due to elastic waist. great, lightweight fabric, I've had 2 pair for 2 years with no problems.

Please keep making these and don't change them. They are extremely functional just like they are. Great for work and casual dress.

I am retired and have been working as a landscaper. I plant trees and shrubs, cut grass, and build fences and patios. I have been really pleased with these shorts and all my Carhartt clothing.
