Before Carhartt goes the way of L.L. Bean, Fox Racing Inc., and Timberland (and Barney's New York for that matter) stock up on great, genuinely tough, useful, comfortable, and attractive clothing like these shorts--and everything else Carhartt makes.These are clothes that make you feel and look good ("comfort clothes" you might say) while you're rolling around in the dirt or even on your living room floor.
I laude the previous reviewer's honesty in saying they're great for wearing without underwear in the hot weather, because they really, really are.Jeans / denim and most cotton cloth can get hot, and that can bereal uncomfortable particularly for a man's 'bait and tackle;' whereas this cloth breathes exceptionally well.They're particularly great for after doing endurance sports and taking a shower--when you're body is still all reved up--as a loose, comfortable cool-down clothing that you're fine wearing the rest of the day.
The pockets and loops are also very handy, not only for working on a car, bike, or doing construction, but also plenty big enough to carry your cell phone (even my Treo), keys, and wallet comfortably without being like those huge, ugly military-style thigh pockets.
I expect Carhartt might someday start marketing itself just like other great, functional brands that went hip-hop style or suburb/country sheik, and if they do it will be a real loss.But for now at least we can enjoy another in that long series of brands that became famous for function before it was popularized as a suburban teenager fashion and then ruined.

Carhartt Men's Washed Duck Work Short
I do a decent load of outdoor running and sweat quite a bit, especially during the summer months. I bought one of these to replace my standard cotton shirt and the difference has been night and day. This shirt is way more comfortable and sweat resistant (I still accumulate sweat blotches on really hot days, but they dry quickly), plus it hardly smells even after a week of heavy wear.
