The verdict
Fit
Double-knit suggests a bit more structure than basic jersey; relaxed fit for easy layering.
Quality
Consistent with Hudson's mid-market construction; durable enough for frequent wear.
Is the price fair?
At $158 (with discounts), strong value for a branded casual short.
Best for
Wearers seeking affordable, comfortable everyday shorts without performance frills.
Care
Double knits hold shape better than single-knit; still benefit from air drying when possible.
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.
