Essential Drawstring Short - Desert Olive

Shorts

The verdict

A budget-friendly, practical short with a relaxed fit; good value for casual rotation.

Fit

Drawstring waist suggests a relaxed, comfortable fit rather than a tailored cut. Sizing is forgiving; drawstring provides adjustability.

Quality

At $74, this is entry-level for the brand. Construction is functional; seams are standard, not reinforced as heavily as premium lines.

Price check

Strong value at $74 for a casual short. You're trading some construction refinement for price, but durability is adequate for this tier.

Best for

Men on a budget who need an easy-wearing short for pool days and casual errands.

Care

Machine wash warm; tumble dry is fine for this relaxed style.

Fit check: Faherty

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.
