THE PALMER SHORT
The verdict
Fit
Woven shorts construction with a short-focused fit. Expect a mid-thigh length and relaxed, comfortable rise—typical of casual men's shorts.
Quality
Woven shorts at this price carry basic Joe's quality—straight seams and simple hems. Not reinforced for heavy wear, but fine for seasonal rotation.
Price check
Bargain-friendly for basics. At 118 USD you're paying for brand recognition and availability rather than durability features.
Best for
Men looking for casual, everyday shorts for warm months; low-commitment basics to own several colors.
Care
Woven cotton shorts are low-maintenance; standard warm-water wash and tumble dry suits these.

What owners report about Joe's Jeans shorts
Coverage of Joe's shorts is thin next to the jeans line, and what exists leans on the same soft stretch denim. Owners describe the fabric as soft and comfortable, and one shorts style is reviewed positively for its comfort and elastic waistband, with shorts priced over a hundred dollars. Durability reports are mostly good — one owner says a pair "holds up to so much wear and tear" — but an editor round-up notes repeat buyers reporting inconsistencies in material stretch and thickness compared to past purchases.
- Strengths
- Owners consistently praise the soft, stretchy denim as comfortable and flattering, and say it keeps its shape after washing.
- Watch out for
- Repeat buyers report fabric inconsistency — the stretch and thickness of the same style can differ from one purchase to the next.
- Sizing
- Reports conflict: one review guide says the brand runs true to size, while another finds the fit slightly generous and suggests ordering a size down.
