I love the shorts and had a really amazing experience working with the company doing an exchange. Customer service here is incredible.

I’ve been a builder for over 40 years and these are the best work shorts on the market and I have tried them all!
I now have several pairs both long and short and wouldn’t consider any others.
Brody P.
Sizing is slightly wack, fits big around the waist but very short and slightly tight in the legs. Drawstring is a bit silly and you cant remove it... Other than that, great shorts
Rob H.
Love these shorts. Wore through my first pair of primes, so I bought two more of 2.0. They are my daily drivers. Can't live without the cell phone pocket. They are rugged and durable and can put up with all the abuse I throw at them. Top notch.
Katelin W.
These are the best shorts I’ve ever purchased. Workwear is soooo hard to find and I purchased 3 pairs of these (2 in black 1 in khaki) and I couldn’t be happier. They wear so well - they don’t stretch out, are super tough and the pockets are amazing. They run slightly small and I don’t like the interior drawstring because it’s way too long tying it makes a weird lump in the waistband so I just cut it off. But it’s not even enough to give them less than 5 stars. Buy these shorts - you won’t regret it.

These have become my go to shorts. The construction is solid. Material is beefy. True to size. Stretch is great. The only thing i would like better is if there was a utility pocket on the left side as well. These are right handed shorts. Could use an extra pocket on the left side.
Shipping to US was quick and easy.
Totally happy with these and will be getting pants too.
Lewis F.
Awesome shorts they look and feel great
Robert R. B.
My new favorite shorts. I need another pair so I can wash them. I have literally worn them 14/15 days of ownership.
Michael C.
I bought two pairs because why not. The length is great, the material is durable yet stretchy, living in South Carolina they tend to absorb sweat along waistband but whatevs.. I do carpentry & screen printing & these shorts have been through it already within the first month. I can already tell they’ve become my favorites. Treat yo self.
Benjamin M.
Hands down the best work pants I’ve ever owned. Wore my last pair everyday for over a year and they’re still holding up. Only bought a new pair because I’ve gotten so much paint on them recently. These pants are tough as hell and have so far been the only pants I haven’t blown out the crotch in.
Mackenzy A.
I bought a one pair of khaki prime pro's last year. I pretty well instantly fell in love with them. Everyday in Vancouver that wont turn my leg hair into icicles I will wear them. Nearly a solid year of wearing them to work, cycling (crotch eating cambium brooks saddle), and every other day in between because I hate all other pants and shorts now. I dumped paint all over them this spring on the job with a paint bucket mishap - I figured everyone would get more susp that I only ever wear one pair of paint splatter shorts so ordered up a fresh pair of black prime pro's and some clearance prime heritage. Now I've got a proper rotation. They've definitely outlasted every pair of Carhart's I've owned. ten outta ten.
daniel n.
Good pants very comfortable
Sarah M.
These are the perfect shorts for work. They are tough, flexible, and plenty of pockets for everything I need during the day. I’m a landscaper and I can fit my phone, wallet, keys, radio, pocket knife, gloves, pruners and pens. Almost each item has their own spot. Best shorts ever!
Michael D.
Love them!! So comfy and easy to work in!
Thomas P.
Most comfortable and useful work short I’ve found. Good range of pockets, great amount of stretch, last for a good few years with almost daily use.
I have learnt the comfortability means they do loosen up a size as you wear them, a pair I have in my normal size loosen up and slide down a little if I’m not wearing a belt. I purchased a size smaller on my last pair, they are a little tight at first but within half an hour of moving about they are perfect.
Also, why the drawstring? I just rip it out as soon as they arrive, but curious to why that design choice is there.
Debbie D.
Bought these for my son and loves them !!!
Thank you
Rick S.
I tend to dither when I shop online, and the service was excellent. Patient. Helpful. Then the goods arrived, top quality everyday wear at a good price. I suppose the ultimate recommendation is that I’ve now made 3 orders in the last months.
Liam M.
Best work shorts I’ve ever owned, and the only ones I will purchase, tough, functional and still comfortable. Can’t be beat!!
paddy K.
Would like the Phone Pocket to be slightly larger as am straining the seams to slide my Galaxy Note 8 and case into the pocket and if i change to a slightly larger phone it will not fit.
Otherwise perfect,
Don S.
Bloody brilliant, use for work, fishing, tinkering in garage and pub. Go anywhere do anything shorts
Sam C.
Haven’t worn them yet but if the pockets hold up I’ll be happy
Aaron J.
Fantastic Shorts. I’ve noticed a few ‘upgrades’ since I first started buying these. First being the more durable material has been used in the pockets instead of the thin lining previously. Massive upgrade. The 4 Fold ruler pocket has been made bigger. Making it so much easier to use. The stitching is holding up a lot better then previously which is great for a tradie bending and moving so much all day. I wear these 24/7 in and out of work. Best shorts I’ve ever owned
paddy K.
Great pair of shorts the phone pocket is a great idea. Will buy another pair of these shorts as backup!
Chelcy M.
Best shorts I own for sure! Gonna be buying some more soon!
Sonia C.
stretch fabric very comfortable
Peter C.
Love the shorts but I need to wear a belt because the draw string doesn’t seem to hold them up while working.
Janine A.
Bought these shorts for my son
He told me they’re his new going out shorts for summer because he loves them
Paula S.
Purchased for my son as he prefers these over any others in his line of trade.
Aaron L.
Good shorts better if they had new strap to tighten instead of the draw string. The black colour are also larger then the beige although same size on tag.
Briana M.
These shorts are a great cut/fit and of excellent quality.
Josef H.
A fantastic work and leisure short! So comfortable, yet so durable and perfect for my line of work.
Harry O.
The Prime Pro shorts are easily the best work shorts I've owned. Heaps comfortable and durable, can't really fault them
gina d.
LOVE these shorts. perfect stretch, true to size, solid utility fabric. going to immediately be ordering more.
Matthew H.
Best work shorts EVER. Perfect stretch in the waistline. Durable fabric holds up to landscape beatings.
Andrew T.
Great shorts. Moveability is high, never rubs (love the cotton). Waist strings help keep them up when you forget your belt rushing out the door.
Cheaper shorts out there...but I want comfy seeming I spend 60 odd hours a week in them (and mowing the lawn on the weekend)!
Jett Robert M.
Unreal shorts keep it up
Andy H.
Daily work shorts 2 summers running. Nuff said.
jordan c.
Wearing size 34. Great length if you don’t mind showing off your legs. I have trouble finding shorts that fit well because my legs fit 34 but my waist is 33. These shorts have built in lace on the waist to tie up so you don’t have to wear a belt. Durable and stretchy, all in all great shorts. Will definitely be buying more.
Miguel L.
I love the phone pocket it in the front so much I’m ordering it again in a different color. I have thicker than average legs so they fit a lil too snug at first but they eventually stretched out nicely after a couple of days.
Hugh P.
Maybe the best shorts I've ever owned.
Tom S.
My favourite work shorts. Love them
Sup L.
Simply the best workpants, short ever. Great look and love those pockets.
Christopher B.
These shorts are great!!! Definitely size down, I usually wear a 34 in a popular US workwear brand, 32 from Hawke fits great. If I had to complain about anything, it’s that as soon as I received my order and made sure they fit great, I went to order another pair and ALL the shorter length prime pro’s were gone, not even listed as out of stock, jut not even on the website anymore. Bring them back!!!
Bradley d.
The best shorts ever made
Lachie P.
Comfiest pair of shorts I’ve had so far, super stretchy material. You’ll be kicking yourself for not ordering a pair sooner
Locky B.
Great shorts, I bought a size 30 and 32, with the intention to send a pair back after trying them on, I kept both pairs
George W.
Love these shorts! The fit is great and the stretchy denim is super comfortable. I work in a woodshop without air conditioning and spend a good amount of time outdoors in the Southern heat, and a durable, breathable pair of shorts are a necessity. Could have done without the drawstring, but hey, I’m sure it comes in handy for some folks.
Todd C.
Both the shorts and pants need thicker more durable belt straps
Rafael C.
I’ve been living in these shorts. The fabric, construction, pockets and style are all on point. Thank you
Justine L.
I’ll post a pic with a more detailed review in June (it’s still snow clearing /long Johns weather in Ontario rn, and also they’ll fit better once I’ve ramped up my usual 20-30km days of grass cutting/weed picking…haha)
These shorts are great! I’m excited for shorts weather now. There were a couple other women who left reviews on this site saying they’re the right length- it’s true, I don’t feel like I’m wearing long men’s shorts. There’s enough stretch in them I can pick weeds and move comfortably, and also they feel like a perfect blend of technical athletic gear and durable work gear. I’m stoked to have a pair of work shorts that looks much more professional than the random whatever I could find at the thrift store
I’ll come back once it’s shorts weather to report their actual performance.
Tom R.
They don’t blow out in the crutch, thats a big yea from me.
Alex W.
Comfortable, stretchy, solidly made. Runs a little bit big on the sizing but has a drawstring
Santiago S.
Just perfect! however I would’ve bought a size 31 if you sold them
Dorothy B.
My son loves them :)
ann s.
I gave these to my son for a Christmas present .
He said they are the best shorts he has ever had and trust me he has had a lot of shorts
So well done to you !
debbie l.
my son says best shorts he has worn,really comfy..
Max B.
Great shorts, comfortable and perfect amount of pockets, however if you put anything other than clouds and rainbows in the pockets they’ll get absolutely destroyed. Has happened to every pair I own. Perfect shorts other than that
Rachael K.
Best work shorts I've ever worn so soft and comfy and light weight in summer hands down best brand work gear
Ben B.
Great Pants. Highly recommend.
Aaron J.
Fantastic shorts but unfortunately I’ve had issues with all 4 pairs in the past 12 months with the stitching coming apart.. I still buy them though but wish the stitching was a little stronger
Kellie C.
My husband loves his work shorts as they are comfortable soft material and has leg room to move
Elise B.
Super comfy and as someone that enjoys some style at work. They are great.
Daniel J.
Great work shorts, best I’ve come across
Vatthana P.
The best work short I ever owned, very comfortable,very good quality Ann good materials. I definitely recommend it.
Igor A.
Very comfortable short, super stretchy, I would even recommend go one size smaller.
I loved the shorts however I am not too sure if I would buy another one since $80 is a bit too expensive, you can grab really good work shorts for $50 from other brands, so if you have the money to spare get one, otherwise go get something cheaper
Kyle G.
Unreal shorts best I’ve ever worn
Michael O.
I am such a fan. The close-run is a bit big. So when I ordered these normally size 32 I ordered a 30 & they fit perfectly. These shorts work for so many occasions and I really appreciate the pockets. So much function is available!
Sarah W.
I’m a tradie chick and these shorts are super comfy and a good length.
Sean M.
Super comfy, seem very durable at first use, phone pocket is a good addition
Sean K.
Best fucking work shorts ever!! Wouldn’t even buy anything else, seriously the comfiest shorts you can wear. I’m glad I found you guys, absolutely love em
Eliot G.
100% best shorts ever!
Vincent S.
34 is much bigger than I expected but the shorts still look great despite being too big!
Cody F.
Great quality work shorts, durable material too.
Eliot G.
110%. Best shorts ever and customer service is 110% as well
Jake T.
Awesome shorts always use them for work and weekend hikes
Aaron K.
Best work shorts I have ever gotten
Matt F.
I’m a gym rat and the opening of the shorts is perfect. Some shorts don’t allow room for my tree trunk thighs. But these fit great and don’t get stuck up to high.
Robert P.
These shorts were everything I wanted and more. I wanted the longer ones but those weren't in stock. I now prefer the primes. The material is stretchy and soft enough to wear to sleep but sturdy enough to take some wear and tear. These are a well thought out product. I wish they had the thigh pocket on both legs like they do for their pants version. I also had to cut the drawstrings shorter because I don’t always tie them and keep them tucked inside and they are almost double the length of the shorts. I would gladly buy another few pairs.
jack s.
I got them for my new job and I can’t stop wearing them. Perfect sizing and durability
Konrad G.
I absolutely love these shorts. Most comfortable work shirts I’ve ever owned. It’s also so nice to have an actual short, not a pair that hangs down to my knees. Thanks Hawke
Lachie W.
Deadset the comfiest shorts I’ve ever worn. Almost too good for work, might try them on the golf course! And this pocket, when you have a nailbag on putting your phone in here is elite. Good luck getting me out of these bad boys
Juan C.
These shorts are so dope! I use them for everything!
Quit browsing and just buy them.
adam v.
Love the shorts and the quality, only problem I have is the inner pockets seem to wear out way before the shorts.
Which then means I would have buy another pair before they are actually needed.
Lantz L.
5" or die. I've been wearing Bearbottom 5.5" shorts for years and wanted to try something a bit different - loved the utility of the Hawke shorts so I grabbed the black and the khakis. All-in-all, I'm in. Wasn't a huge fan at first by some of the bulk in the material/stitching, but after letting go a bit of my comfort from my other shorts, I really fell into these.
The one thing I can say: They are *stretchy* - which is stellar, because you want some range of motion, BUT if you expect a tight fit like I was used to in my Bearbottoms/Chubbies, these are gonna throw you for a loop. I wear a 36 in jeans, bought a 36 in Hawke and they are positively baggy compared to how I prefer to wear them. I was going to swap for 34s for a tighter fit but they're out of 34s in my preferred color right now, so I'm rolling with these but will go in for 34s when they're available. I'm 6', 220# for reference.
Peter D.
I bought the prime pro shorts and they are bloody perfect! They work great for a chippy and the photo pocket makes life a lot easier when wearing tool belt all day. Would 100% recommend and will be purchasing another pair very soon. Thanks GUYS
Joe F.
Absolutely love them! I thought they may be a little stiff/restricting, but I was very wrong! A lot of give in the crotch, a great pair of shorts to wear for just about anything!
Andy H.
I worked in a cheap pair of cut of denims with a shoe lace through the belt loops for a while. Found these recently, imported them to the uk and now I’m gonna need to do it again. Except maybe a size down! Super comfy, the integrated lace is an absolute gem! Lunges for days too. Boo ya
Andrea A.
My son loves these shorts he says they are so comfortable
Rebekah R.
Greats shorts could be a little shorter. Great material. I love them.
Jt N.
Best shorts I’ve ever owned.
Brennan G.
Dude! Awesome Shorts
The Good:
-STRETCHY and SOFT - ive been climbing, biking and running in these shorts - very good all around piece of clothing.
-The phone pocket is nice and sung for the larger iphone which is nice when doing those activities but also the pockets are deep enough that your phone won't fall out.
The Bad (but not really bad)
- The model made it looks like there was a good amount of space in the leg, but I have pretty big thighs from biking and they fit more like a skinny jean short. Just a heads up for you other big leg dudes!
Matthew H.
I love how rugged these dudes are! Plus during our recent unusual heat wave in WA they were great at helping me stay cool.
The draw strings were useless so I cut them off after the first time I wore them.
The small right pocket is useless too. It would be awesome if it was deeper, enough to hold the key fob for my truck!
Otherwise these shorts will get a ton of miles.
thanks!
matt
Gabriel P.
Really like the fit and the quality of the material that you used. My only two points with this product are
1. An extra belt loop would be awesome between the hip and centre of the back on each side
2. The pocket on the right side is bigger at the bottom then at the opening, so it lets things turn sideways it makes it hard to get out.
The pocket thing is really just minor, but the belt loop thing drives me bonkers. Other than that, I love them. I’m a plumber and gas fitter they’re great for keeping cool on the worksites we find ourselves on.
