Shorts
The verdict
A relaxed-fit duck canvas cargo short that's a solid budget buy for anyone wanting classic Dickies durability over style.
Fit
Relaxed fit means more room through the seat and thigh than the regular-fit line, with an 11" inseam; expect true-to-size or slightly generous sizing.
Quality
Duck canvas is Dickies' heavier workwear fabric, typically stiffer and more abrasion-resistant than the brand's FLEX stretch lines, at the cost of less give.
Is the price fair?
Under $30 is budget pricing for the category and reasonable given duck canvas's reputation for outlasting lighter fabrics.
Best for
Manual laborers or anyone who wants cargo storage and heavy-duty fabric over comfort stretch.
Care
Wash cold and expect the canvas to soften gradually over repeated washes rather than starting soft.
