The verdict
Fit
Croxley with flap pockets suggests a fitted, modern silhouette with added hip detail. Hudson sizes these true with comfort stretch.
Quality
At $145, the flap pocket detail requires precise seaming. Construction is solid across seams and hardware attachment.
Is the price fair?
At $145, mid-tier pricing reflects the designed detail and branding. A basic Croxley would cost less; the pocket treatment justifies the difference.
Best for
Shoppers who view flap pockets as a signature detail and want a contemporary, designed short.
Care
Flap pockets require careful washing to preserve shape and seam integrity; inside-out washing recommended.
What owners report about Hudson Jeans shorts
Reviewers describe the brand's denim as notably soft and stretchy, and the shorts follow that pattern — the Amelia mid-rise is described as a fitted, near-knee-length cut in the same stretch denim as the jeans. Aggregate owner sentiment runs positive (a denim community site averages 4.46/5 across 142 reviews), with fit and comfort the most repeated praise. Complaint reviews, though, report inconsistency between pairs — some stretchy and fitted, others stiff — plus holes developing with wear and a customer-service team that often does not respond to defect claims.
- Strengths
- Owners consistently praise soft, comfortable stretch denim that holds its shape.
- Watch out for
- Complaint reviews report pair-to-pair inconsistency in fabric and fit, holes developing (including at the back pocket), and unresponsive customer service when items fail.
- Sizing
- Most cuts are reported true to size, though the brand itself advises sizing up in some of the women's skinny cuts and owners note lengths run long.
