HI RISE SKATER CUTOFF SIDE WHITE CHECK - VINTAGE BLACK
The verdict
Fit
Hi-rise sits above the hip with a high waistband, typical of skater-inspired cuts. The side cutoff detail may taper the leg slightly. Sizing should reflect the high-rise position; expect a fitted waist relative to the thigh.
Quality
At $250 USD, expect mid-grade denim with reinforced construction at stress points. The vintage wash and check detail are achieved through processing; durability depends on wash intensity.
Price check
At $250, this is premium pricing for denim shorts. The high-rise and vintage detail justify the price for shoppers valuing silhouette and trend positioning.
Best for
Shoppers seeking on-trend high-rise denim shorts with vintage wash details for casual street wear.
Care
Wash inside-out in cool water with like colors to preserve the vintage black base and the check pattern contrast.

What owners report about Aviator Nation shorts
Third-party coverage of this line runs mostly through the brand's fleece pieces broadly, which its sweat shorts share. Reviews are polarized: owners praise how soft and comfortable the cotton-poly-rayon fleece feels and note the pieces are sewn in the USA, but a recurring complaint is that the fabric can feel thin for what the brand charges. Reviewers also flag defects, dye bleed and shrinkage in the wash, and a frustrating exchange policy when something goes wrong.
- Strengths
- Owners consistently report the fleece is exceptionally soft and comfortable from first wear, with the colors and retro stripes drawing compliments.
- Watch out for
- Recurring complaints are thin-feeling fabric relative to the high price, dye bleed and shrinkage in the wash, and a difficult exchange process.
- Sizing
- Fit varies by style — reviewers report pieces running both large and snug — and several choose to size up for a roomier fit.
