I was kindly provided with a reviewer's sample of these 34" Khaki green shorts for honest reviewing purposes.
* About the fit: - We got the 34" sized shorts and these felt like a good fit so I'd say the sizing is accurate. - Wearing the shorts felt very comfortable - The length of the shorts reached just to the knee - a good length
* About the material: Feels like good quality fabric that has a sturdy texure to it. The material is a medium-weight - not super lightweight but not excessively heavy either. It's made of 100% cotton which is great since it's a breathable, natural fibre. Although I'd normally expect cotton to crease and need ironing, these didn't look like they crease *too* badly in my opinion.
* About the fly: Note that it has a button fly rather than a zip fly.
* About the pockets: Lots of pockets - eight in total including some of the little pockets inside a pocket - extra pockest are always a plus for me!
* About the stitching: On the whole the stitching looks good. I'd give it an "A-" for stitching rather than an "A" since there were one or two loose threads and a few tiny stitching errors if you look really closely - nothing too serious though.
* About the belt: The matching belt provided is a striped "double D ring" canvas belt. I didn't know how to tie one, so googled it, learned how to do it and added a segment to the video demonstrating how to fasten it in case that's helpful to anyone else out there. The belt that came with the khaki green shorts was a nice-looking beige one and I found it was a comfortable, well-made belt.
* Overall: My overall impression was that these are a good looking pair of shorts with a comfy belt to go with them.

The Charles Wilson Zipped Cargo Shorts With Belt are a pair of casual looking shorts that are perfect for the summer months.
The overall quality of the shorts is of a pretty high standard. Made from 100% cotton, the cargo shorts are quite light and very comfortable to wear.
Size-wise, I'm generally around 34" to 36" waist. What I ordered was therefore the 36" waist, preferring to have the shorts slightly on the larger size than too small. I have to say the 36" waist is pretty much the perfect size fit for me - fitting me comfortably without being too tight or too loose.
The cargo shorts are button flied, with three hard plastic buttons making up the fly and a slightly larger plastic button making up the main fastener for the shorts. The buttons aren't too tight or too loose when unbuttoning (as they can be on some shorts), and feel tough enough not to break if knocked hard or in the washing machine.
On the left leg you have a zip-up pocket which is approximately 17cm deep and 18cm wide. On top of this pocket is a far smaller one which has poppers instead of a zip or buttons. On the right leg you have a large 20cm x 20cm pocket which has two poppers keeping it closed. On the back you have one medium-sized zip pocket and one medium-sized normal non-fastening pocket.
The stitchwork is of a good standard. On close inspection you can see tight stitching throughout, with very little snags or slips in the stitchwork. As such the shorts will no doubt last for a good while of general wear over the summer months.
Overall I'd say that I'm incredibly happy with the cargo shorts. They're stylish and practical and have a good range of pockets with good fastenings to them.
The cargo shorts also come with a striped canvas belt.Read more ›

Colour Name: BlackSize: 34 Waist x Regular
These Charles Wilson Cargo Shorts surprised me because I thought the reference to them being "Zipped Cargo Shorts" referred to them being zipped fly but, in fact, they have a three button fly. The reference to zips refers to the fact that they a zipped rear pocket (the other rear pocket does not have a zip), plus, there's a handy zipped pocket on the left thigh plus a small pocket with press stud. On the right hand thigh there's a substantial bellowed pocket secured by two press studs and there are also two slash waist pockets, plus, inside the top of the right hand one is a handy phone or change pocket. Two spare buttons are supplied.
The button waist and six belt loops make these shorts comfortable to wear plus a belt is included - the striped belt features two rings which grip the belt at the right diameter rather than the usual spike and buckle design. I love the design and fit of these shorts - mine are 34" waist and are so cool and comfortable. In addition, the 100% cotton cloth means they are easy to care for and although the shorts can be washed at up to 40 degrees C, I find if you wash them at 30 degrees and hang them up as soon as the wash finishes you'll get away without ironing them too. Another feature of Charles Wilson clothes I like is that unlike certain high street brands the buttons don't fall off after wearing/washing them a few times.
Cool, stylish, practical, well made and with a belt included, these Charles Wilson shorts are recommended.
(Disclosure: I was supplied with a pair of these shorts for review purposes).
