Short Day Construct - Ripstop Flax Ultra Léger

A bit disappointing

"These shorts have *all* the potential. Super light fabric, durable, lots of pockets, loops, all the good stuff. Unfortunately they run big and so are quite baggy, but they’re final sale so ok. Just beware of that. I am going to try and alter the waist since I don’t have another option. They’re too big for even a belt. My other Dovetail pants are 16s and so are these but these must be the « retooled » sizes because they are much bigger. Lastly, the way the belt loops are sewn onto the shorts, the thread must be some kind of tough synthetic because it’s incredibly scratchy on the skin, like, to the point where you would have to have a shirt tucked in or something to protect your stomach from scratches. Not sure if this is some kind of defect only on this pair, but it’s too bad because it makes the waistband super uncomfortable when they’ve clearly done things like add stretch to try and make it more comfy. Feeling a little bit disappointed about this purchase :/"

Lightweight & Lots of Pockets!

"This is my 4th piece of Dovetail clothing that I’ve purchased. I work in large scale festivals and events and news pants that hold up but also move with me when I need to hustle. My only complaint is that one snap on the back pocket either broke or just fell off after one wear. Not the end of the world, just annoying."

"So many pockets!! Wish the back pockets were just a bit bigger, since phones these days are so big, but so far, very happy."

Tried something other than carhartt

"I was in search of new short that are not short shorts and would have some durability to them without being all spandex/stretch stuff. Found these at the work wear store and tried them on the recommendation of the guy at the till. Bought them and threw them on the next day for yard chores, tromping through the bush for some archery shooting, and some wood working. So far, I love them. I'm 5'4" and wear a size 8. Comments so far: - The length is excellent that if you hop into a hot car, your legs don't get burned on the seat, - the 2 main hand pockets are actually deep enough to fit my full hands. They are not overly wide though and from where the re-enforcement is, so if you put any cash in your pockets it may fall out if you're not paying attention and it gets caught on the back of your hand. - the left side pocket with the zipper is a touch too short to put a wallet into and keep it secure. (would say it's about 3" in depth, 4" or 5" would be better) - the right hand pocket is super deep! Fits phones that are less than 3" wide nicely. My pocket goes all the way to the bottom of the leg compared to the picture on the website. - the pocket on the front of the right leg is a neat thing for keys, but again, it's pretty shallow. Having a loop or something above it that a carabiner can hook onto would be an added feature or make this pocket a touch deeper or a flap that goes over the pocket. - the crotch is not low hanging. Gives enough space for comfort and not chaffing as ones walks around in the heat. - I prefer having 3 belt loops on the back from other shorts and pants so it prevents bunching, but haven't worn these enough to see if they have that issue of not."
