Men's Mid Rise Denim Shorts with Cargo Pockets | Strawberry / S 100400720605899

How to measure

Use a flexible cloth measuring tape. For best accuracy, measure over underwear or a thin layer—stand relaxed, breathe normally, and keep the tape level and snug (not tight).

Body measurements (how to measure yourself)

• Waist (where you wear mid-rise): Measure around the point where you plan to wear the shorts (typically 1–2" / 2.5–5 cm below the navel for a mid rise). Keep the tape parallel to the floor.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat.
• Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam down the inner leg to the point where you want the hem to sit.
• Thigh: Measure around the fullest part of the thigh, about 1" (2–3 cm) below the crotch seam.
• Front rise: Measure from the top of the front waistband straight down to the crotch seam to see where the shorts will sit on your torso.

Garment measurements (how to measure the shorts laid flat)

• Waist (flat): Lay shorts flat, measure across the top of the waistband from side to side and double that number to get the circumference.
• Inseam (flat): Measure from the crotch seam down the inner leg seam to the hem.
• Outseam: Measure from the top of the waistband to the bottom of the hem along the outside.
• Thigh (flat): Measure across the leg 1" below the crotch seam and double to get the thigh circumference.
• Hem opening: Measure across the leg opening and double for total circumference.
• Cargo pocket depth: Measure from the pocket opening to the bottom seam to know how much it will hold.

Fit tip: compare your body measurements to the garment measurements. Allow 1–2" (2.5–5 cm) ease at the waist/hips for comfortable movement in mid-rise denim; less if you prefer a snug fit. If you are between sizes and prefer a relaxed look, size up; if you prefer a fitted silhouette, choose the lower size.

Materials & construction

These shorts are crafted from midweight denim designed for durability and everyday comfort. Typical construction details include:

• Main fabric: Midweight denim—commonly a cotton or cotton‑blend. Many versions use a stretch blend (example: ~98% cotton / 2% elastane) for ease of movement; rigid options are often 100% cotton for structure.
• Pocket bags & lining: Lightweight woven cotton for comfort and breathability.
• Hardware: Durable metal buttons/snaps and a zip fly (metal or molded zipper) with reinforced rivets or bartacks at stress points.
• Stitching: Double-needle seams at high-stress areas and topstitching for durability.
• Finish: Garment wash or enzyme wash for softness and lived-in color; dye-fast treatments to reduce bleeding.

Note: exact fiber content and trims vary by production run—always check the product label or garment tag for the definitive material breakdown and origin information.

Model & fit

Fit shown is for styling reference:

• Model: 6'1" (185 cm), 31" (79 cm) waist.
• Wearing: Size 32 (M) in the product imagery.
• Inseam on model: Approximately 9" (23 cm) — sits around mid-thigh.
• Fit notes: Mid rise that sits slightly below the natural waist. Regular-through-the-thigh fit with a straight leg opening. If you prefer a roomier fit for layering or a relaxed silhouette, consider sizing up one size.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Before washing: Empty all cargo pockets, close zippers/snaps, and turn shorts inside out to protect color and hardware.
• Wash: Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent; avoid chlorine bleach.
• Dry: For best longevity, hang dry in the shade to reduce fading and minimize shrinkage. If you must tumble dry, use low heat and remove promptly.
• Heat & stretch: Avoid high dryer or iron temperatures—excess heat can damage elastane/stretch and accelerate color loss.
• Spot care: Treat stains promptly with a gentle stain remover; dab rather than rub to avoid disturbing the dye.
• Storage: Fold and store in a cool, dry place. Avoid overfilling pockets during storage to preserve the silhouette.
• General tips: Wash less frequently to preserve indigo and fabric integrity—air out between wears and spot clean when possible.

Style tips

• Casual everyday: Plain or graphic tee + low-profile white sneakers. Keep accessories minimal—sunglasses and a leather or canvas belt complete the look.
• Summer smart-casual: Short-sleeve linen or cotton button-up, suede loafers or leather sandals. Tuck the shirt in for a cleaner silhouette.
• Utility & outdoors: Technical tee or henley + lightweight field jacket and trail sneakers or boots. Use the cargo pockets for essentials (phone, keys, pocketknife) but avoid overfilling to keep the shape neat.
• Streetwear edge: Oversized tee or hoodie, tube socks, and high-top sneakers. Keep one cuff rolled for a relaxed, intentional finish.
• Balance proportions: If shorts are roomy, pair with slimmer or more tailored tops. If shorts are slim, feel free to layer with a relaxed overshirt.
• Color pairing: Dark denim pairs well with neutral tones (white, olive, tan, navy); lighter washes pair with brighter summer colors.
