The only thing I wish is that the image of the magnets did not show through the material. I have purchased many shorts and slacks and just recently started noticing it.
These are so well made. My husband has “lived” in them since they arrived!! We had ordered a 36 based on size chart but had to exchange for a 34.
My father has had Parkinson's for 15 years. We just discovered these shorts and he loves them. Along with the magnet closure, he appreciates the pull loops. He has such an easier time and worries about his waistband much less. It's great seeing him feel confident again
My husband likes the shorts. Nice fabric and Nice style. Not overly dressy. He especially likes that they have a Velcro closure at the very top to ensure fit and to make sure they don’t come undone. But be aware they are truly shorts. Some men may not like the length if they prefer a longer style.
Very, very good quality and fashionable. I will be ordering more.
My husband has a form of dementia and can no longer handle buttons or zippers. These shorts are just perfect for our hot Texas weather. I have about 4 pair now. It’s easy to help him put them on and lower them for bathroom moments. Highly recommend.
These are great and i wear them slll the time.
My husband lost some of the dexterity in his hands and was experiencing difficulty buttoning and zippering his shorts and pants. These solved the problem. We bought them in two colors and just wish there were more colors to choose from. We will beordering the pants!
My husband has Parkinson's Disease. I help him get dressed and the magnetic closures are a God send. I only wish that you make more or a selection such as cargo pants etc.
Purchased these for my ALS husband. I was seeking a pair of dress shorts as opposed to the causal sports shorts with the elastic pull on waistband. Although, I do regret they only come in two color choices 😞
