    Nice, but Wishing for a Slim Fit Short

    These are the usual great quality from Bluffworks. I had to return though because my husband really needs a slim fit short. He loves his long slim fit Bluffworks pants, but Bluffworks doesn't make a slim fit short. He tried these in hopes they would fit, but they did not. We should have known better. Bluffworks, please make a slim fit short!

    I am buying another pair.

    Great fit. Right length. Interior zippers keep your stuff from falling out and make it impossible for pickpockets.

    ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!

    Just like my last two pair these are the ultimate shorts. The quality of material and craftsmanship is on par with garments costing much more. The hidden pockets are a must have now that Ive used them. Separation of valuables prevents accidental dropping of items when pulling something else out. The phone pocket fits my iPhone 13 Pro Max easily. The passport pocket easily hold mine. Keeping your items in so many separate pockets makes it very easy to have a “system” of your daily carry without bulging pockets. Im back online today to buy their pants. Another huge benny to me is that they have more waist sizes. eg: I usually have to resort to a 36 but Bluffworks has a 35 which fits me perfectly.

    Just like Ascender pangts but shorter

    Everything I like about Ascender pants are in these shorts: great fit, great fabric, and plenty of pockets. I also appreciate that they are offered in waist size 35, since 34s and 36s aren't always the best option. Especially since these are useful for travel, during which a few pounds always seem to find their way waistward.

    Great shorts. I’m wearing them all summer.

    I love these. I’m traveling in Japan and these are the only shorts I brought (in two colors). Great stuff.

    Shorts, pants

    Nicely made, but the phone pocket in the back on these shorts and the Envoy pants makes absolutely no sense to me. It's the most insecure way to carry your phone that I could imagine. A ridiculous design. The low side pocket on the shorts has very limited utility.
