Mountain Khakis Men's Lake Lodge Twill Short Relaxed Fit

Slightly flexible. Measure your waist and go with that number. If you are a 39.... size up to 40. No "vanity" sizing here. I had to get over the fact my oniell and volcom shorts were way inaccurate with the waist sizing. I thought I was a volcom 36 and an oniell 38. These rest above the knee but are not hipster short-shorts. Just right. Squat and kneel with confidence.

Own several pairs of MK shorts, like all of them but these are a bit more 'dressy', no outside cargo pockets or heavy-duty fabric. I usually use these for going out in warm/hot weather with my wife to casual dining places, the other model MK's are better for my outdoor hiking/walking use. Quality of all my MK shorts is excellent on arrival, almost never threads to cut off which tells me the factory inspection and quality control is very good. Fit on these shorts is very comfortable on me, but I have to say all four pairs of different model MK's fit a bit different in the waist and hips as my wife has pointed out to me.My conclusions based on four models of MK shorts:MK Cargo Short and MK Alpine Utility Short work best for my walks/hikes carrying 'stuff'MK Teton Twill is a good compromise of fabric and cut for warmer weatherMK Lake Lodge Twill is most comfortable for when I sit more than walk and carry less 'stuff'.YMMV of course.Konrad.

Very expensive, fit too large. Returned. Way overpriced

Many Mountain Khaki shorts and pants are made with a double pocket on the right front - perfect for a cell phone. Their relaxed fit shorts and pants are great for outdoor and casual wear. Solid construction and tough fabrics. Twills are great in warm weather, canvas great in cooler weather and for high abrasion environments. Relaxed fit provides excellent freedom of motion. Note; canvas shorts and pants are very slow to dry. Pants may throw some washing machines out of balance during spin cycle.MSRPs are silly high; wait for a sale.

fit until i washed it need to go a size up

I already had a pair of these shorts in another color, so thankfully I knew which size I needed. They fit the same as the other pair of the same size (which is not always reliably the case with other companies). I really like the fit and feel of these shorts, they are classy without being uptight, and they are somewhat durable/rugged without being overly thick or having the bulk of cargo shorts etc. The fifth pocket is a very useful and well-hidden feature. I'm not sure if MK are worth the insane prices they charge themselves, but at the amazon discounted price these were well worth it.

My husband says they are very comfortable & they are what I expected.

Most comfortable shorts I've ever found. Bought a pair on a closeout rack somewhere and then went hunting all over after discovering how comfortable they are. Just a touch of spandex in the fabric means the don't bind or constrain - great if you're stuck on an airplane for 10 hours or stuck sitting somewhere all day. Look great too
