The verdict

Men's camo denim short at $238 — playful print on a mid-range cut for shoppers wanting pattern personality.

Fit

Men's sizing on 6'2", 32 suggests a traditional straight cut; zipper fly and standard construction indicate predictable, no-surprise fit.

Quality

Camo print on denim at this price tier; MOTHER handles print durability competently, though busy patterns show wear less visibly than color shifts.

Price check

At $238, you're paying a modest premium for the camo print versus solid denim; fair value for branded, intentional print work.

Best for

Men comfortable with bold prints seeking denim that works casually across multiple outfit combinations.

Care

Wash inside-out to preserve print clarity; avoid high heat, which can set or fade camo patterning.

Fit check: MOTHER

True to size

MOTHER mostly fits true to size with a snug waist and long legs, but a handful of denim cuts stray a full size in either direction.

Owners and denim reviewers land on true to size as the baseline — one petite reviewer wears her usual 25 "in most Mother styles," and an editorial roundup calls the fit true to size and slightly snug in the waist. The caveat is cut-level: reviewers report the Insider and Looker styles running small and the Ditcher and Dodger running large, with one long-term buyer ranging from a 24 to a 26 across styles. Tops and sweatshirts draw quieter feedback but are consistently reported true to size with a relaxed cut. Inseams run long, so shorter wearers lean on the Lil (petite) line or plan to hem.

Sizing advice: Order your usual size as the default, but check the specific cut's reviews first — size up in the Insider/Looker-type slim crops, down in the Ditcher/Dodger, and consider the Lil line if you're petite.

What owners report about MOTHER shorts

Try-on reviewers describe MOTHER's denim shorts as lightweight and stretchy — "insanely comfy" — with a comfortable feel straight out of the box. One reviewer who wore a pair hard through a full summer says they held up and rates the shorts even better than the brand's jeans. Complaints are style-specific: inseams run short for taller wearers, wash colours can look different (less blue) in person than in online photos, and one high-waisted cut with added side paneling struck a reviewer as unflattering.

Strengths: Soft stretch denim that reviewers find immediately comfortable and durable through a summer of heavy wear.
Watch out for: Short inseams and cut-dependent fit — reviewers flag lengths "right on the edge of being too short" and washes that arrive less blue than pictured.
Sizing: Fit varies by cut — one try-on reviewer took her usual size while another went one size up — so check per-style measurements, especially inseam length.
