What's your budget? I've got a few different pairs, but my patagonia baggies are my #1, tbh. Cut out the lining if you want.
My 2 favorite shorts are the new way shorts from outlier and hemp apres shorts from Taylor stitch.

Hemp, for the curious, is basically linen but stronger.
Target
Target really does have a lot of decent quality menswear. I love the good fellow tshirts. And the jeans. For the price the quality is excellent.
I used to like Chubbies' shorts. But recently have gotten a few pairs from Bear Bottoms and they're great. They have a decent selection of colors and are nice and short at 5.5". The pair I'm currently wearing is two years old and they still look and feel great!
QC is questionable at times, as is the dye that they use. I have some pairs that are already fading and I’ve only owned them a few months. On the upside of that, the fabric is pretty fantastic once it’s broken in.
That’s good to know. All my 5 pairs were purchased atleast a year ago and two of them are from two years ago.
I feel like that usually is what happens with newer companies where they’ll make great stuff and over time the quality falls off. It sucks.
I’ve had my eyes on some from Sid Mashburn. The Lulu Commission look okay for normal wear, too. Seeing a lot of love for Relwen lately.
Never heard of Relwen before but I just checked them out and I'm liking it - thanks
