The verdict
Fit
9-inch inseam is a longer, knee-skimming cut. Polyester keeps the short light and quick-drying. Expect a classic prep-school or athletic fit.
Quality
Synthetic polyester shorts at this price are practical and durable. Seams are standard for the tier; don't expect reinforced gussets or heavy construction.
Is the price fair?
64 USD for a synthetic short is budget-tier. Value is there if you prioritize price and quick drying over texture and versatility.
Best for
Men who need a second or third pair of carefree shorts for travel, outdoor activity, or casual rotation.
Care
Machine wash cold; tumble dry or lay flat. Quick-drying polyester requires minimal care.
What owners report about Faherty pants
Reviewers who have worn Faherty pants across seasons report that the stretch-blend chinos and five-pocket styles hold their shape rather than bagging out, with fabrics described as soft and lightweight without feeling flimsy. Owners place the range between jeans and dress chinos in formality — casual enough for weekends but presentable at an office. The recurring complaints in third-party coverage are the premium prices and cuts some owners find roomy or boxy enough to need tailoring.
