Carhartt Multicolor Shorts Collection: Straight-Leg, Drawstring-Closed Work Shorts in Black and Khaki

Pros

• · Catalog states medium stretch and a straight, mid-rise cut with a drawstring closure — a waistband that adjusts without a belt
• · Two solid colorways (black, khaki) in a letter-print, washed-finish basic style
• · Catalog lists a deformation-resistant material function and summer suitability, with sizes M through XXL
• · Stated 2CM measurement tolerance gives a concrete number to compare against a seller-supplied measurement

Cons

• · Size reports for Carhartt garments conflict: some describe a roomy waist, others say pieces measure smaller than the tag (a size 32 reported closer to 29)
• · Some long-term Carhartt buyers report seams opening, holes after a few months, and dye transfer on certain pieces
• · Closed drawstring waist means no belt loops to correct a loose fit

Fit notes

Carhartt size reports conflict: one set describes a roomy waist and hip and suggests your usual jeans waist or sizing down, another reports garments measuring well below the tag. Sizes run M–XXL with a stated 2CM tolerance. Get the flat waist measurement from the seller and compare it to shorts you already own.

Buy if

You want a basic straight-cut, mid-rise work short in black or khaki with a drawstring waist, medium stretch, and a washed finish for daily summer wear — and you are willing to confirm actual measurements with the seller before ordering.

Skip if

You need a fixed, verified size match without measuring, or you require a belted waistband. The available Carhartt sizing reports point in opposite directions, so a buyer unwilling to check measurements first is the wrong fit for this listing.
