Outside of work I have worn shorts the majority of time over many years. I have purchased well over 100 pairs of shorts from countless merchants. These COH shorts are by far the most comfortable ones I've ever worn. It is hard to tell you even have them on as they are gossamer-like. Color choices/patterns are ample. Materials (cotton and bamboo) are high quality and workmanship is top notch. The HUGE pockets are unparalleled and very functional/appreciated. The elastic waistband is another welcomed and functional touch. I was so impressed/happy upon receiving my first pair that I ordered another pair that same day. The COH story, mission statement, sustainability practices, and overall ethos cannot be argued, is most admirable, and should resonate with anyone. I will usher in the shorts-wearing weather here in Ohio this year right now; calendar be damned!
