This DIY short received mixed feedback. One customer expressed satisfaction with a 5-star rating. However, significant delivery issues were reported, with one customer stating the product "never got delivered and no customer support." Potential buyers should be aware of possible fulfillment concerns.
True to size, would buy again and need them to restock the powder pink in a size 32.
Solid design. Good construction. I HATE the stretchiness. After a few movements, they lose their shape and feel loose and “cheap”. If these were 100% cotton and the “brown” color was actually brown, and not sand, these shorts would be lethal. I love the silhouette. They look super retro, I just hate the fit. Hammies, PLEASE make a 100% cotton product and you will have a customer for life.
Thanks for the feedback, Joe. I'm with you but a lot of people really love the stretch. We have some samples that are non-stretch so it's in the works...
Absolutely love thes shorts. Grew up wearing Op (Ocean Pacific) cord shorts as a kid and these are the closest to those classics on the market today. Good quality and design.
I would love to see belt loops added. Could easily put on on back, 2 on sides and 2 through the top front pocket area at waistband. This wouldn't be a big deal except for the fact that sizing is somewhat inconsistent between the 2 pairs of 32" waist I own. Both bought at same time and washed / dried in same conditions. One pair is looser that the other. Belt loops would allow for belt in case of size discrepancies from factory or from elastic wearing out over time or between washes.
My navy pair seem to be very color fast and not fading but the gray pair are fading at the bottom hem of leg openings. I have owned these since April of this year and don't have too many miles on them.
I will definitely continue to buy but would love to see belt loops added.
Also appreciate the military discount as a USMC vet.
You gotta grab a pair!
Great fit, fabric and color!
I love these shorts and I plan to buy them in other colors soon!
Love, love, love these shorts. They are truly the star of the party.
Def wish they had belt loops but the style is the style. I own like 10 pair. Shorts short, as they should be
Noted and thank you, Jason 🙏
Don’t put much in your pockets. That have no belt loops, your shorts will start to sag, they can’t handle much in the pockets. Also, they don’t keep their shape that well, after a good wash, they seem to tighten up again, but it makes me wonder how long that can last ? Otherwise, I do own like every color, but I think I like my Marine Layer cord shorts better. Thinner, have belt loops, muted colors, less stretch, problem is they had just two colors. Overall, these are aces, they just need some work to get my five stars
I've been looking for short-inseamed shorts for decades. I had O.P. shorts in the 70s and 80s but couldn't find them anymore. Hammies are exactly what I was hoping to find. I bought two pair to try out. I was so satisfied after receiving them, I purchased four more pair.
Awesome shorts, totally comfortable and fun colors. People ask about them all the time, highly recommend.
I gave a pair of these shortsbtona food friend and not only does he look as fabulous as I thought he would.in them, he's also given them his own thumbs up.
I was skeptical at first if I’d like the shorts but when I put them on, I loved them. The fit and style are so appealing, and the fact they’re comfortable too makes them even better. I live in New Orleans where’s it hot most of the year, so these are perfect for a day at the park or in the quarter.
These shorts are CUTE! Fit perfectly
Takes me back to when I was 13, skateboarding and wearing my Ocean Pacific shorts. I’m glad these have stretch. They compliment my legs 😉
Love the fit and color
Great fit and fun style
Great fit
These are my new fave shorts! Flattering fit and super comfy. Customer service is great, too!
Great fit
Great fit!!
This is my 5th pair and I’m so excited I finally ordered them in red!
Nice shorts but they fit bigger then expected with no belt loop. I had already washed them so no return. Maje sure you orderf them a size smaller. There was no warning on sizing. Probably wont order again due to cost.
Perfect neutral Summer short!
These shorts are awesome. Incredibly mobile, comfortable, and stylish. They are exactly as advertised, and what I hoped for!
Love these shorts. Have them in multiple colors!
I’m a size 30 women’s but wanted to test how the men’s shorts fit. I like them a lot! Same size, 30, but they’re not form fitting like the women’s cut; They have a little bit more room in the thighs since they are cut wider, more like regular shorts would.
