$59as of Sep 3, 2026. Check the current price at Faherty

The verdict

Budget cotton corduroy shorts with utility details; practical for casual wear at a fair $59 price point.

Fit

Utility-style cut with drawstring closure, suggesting a relaxed fit designed for movement and layering. Corduroy typically has some structure that shapes to the wearer.

Quality

Plain cotton corduroy at this price should hold up reasonably well, though the nap will flatten in heavy-wear areas over time. Typical of Faherty's entry-level shorts line.

Price check

Budget-appropriate pricing for 100% cotton corduroy shorts. No premium material or special finishing—good value for basic outdoor or casual utility wear.

Best for

Everyday short-wearers who want a casual utility style without spending heavily.

Care

Brush the corduroy pile occasionally with a soft brush to maintain texture, and wash inside-out to minimize nap flattening.

True to size

Faherty fits true to size with a deliberately relaxed cut — take your usual size, and only size down on the roomiest dresses and boxy tees if you're between sizes.

Owners and hands-on reviewers consistently report Faherty running true to size, with the slight ease built into the cut rather than a sign to size down. The relaxed silhouette shows up across lines — tees are described as boxy-but-not-oversized, pants run about a half-inch generous in the waist (not enough to change size), and some dresses and boxier tops read roomy enough that between-sizes buyers go down. A minority of owners find pieces large and boxy at their usual size — one Reddit user had a medium tailored — and a few customer reviews flag garment-to-garment inconsistency, but that's the exception in the feedback, not the pattern.

Sizing advice: Order your usual size across the line; if you're between sizes, size down only on roomy dresses and boxy tees — everywhere else stay true, since the relaxed drape is intentional.
