About this CompanyOur story begins back in 2000, when Laura and Scott Jordan - our future Pocket entrepreneurs - realized the world of fashion was light years behind the ever-changing world of technology. Laura was tired of carrying all of Scott’s gadgets in her bags and Scott’s traditional pockets couldn’t carry everything he needed...and a man purse was out of the question. Scott had a brilliant idea: he would create a modified fisherman’s vest but with extra pockets, enough to hold all of his essentials but still stylish enough to wear out around town.
Those were the humble beginnings of SCOTTeVEST. The company has now evolved into an international business, with a full line of men’s and women’s vests, jackets, pullovers, hoodies, shirts, dresses, underwear, pajamas and pants; all designed to strategically hold and organize your personal belongings so whatever you need is always on hand.

I appreciated the fit and color, however the "normal" pockets did not lay flat to the contours of the shorts. Every time I reached in to the pockets, they stayed extended and did not provide a flattering or streamlined look. Additionally, the larger deeper pockets were too wide for my needs and my (rather large) cell phone would twist sideways in the pocket causing it to bind in the well when attempting removal as well as not staying vertical when walking. Lastly, the rear pockets had no retention features (zipper, button, etc), so I wouldn't feel comfortable putting anything of value in those.

I own 4 items from Scottevest and mostly a fan, especially the travel vest. I did not care for the cargo shorts and returned them.

Really like the shorts; however, very disappointed that they are made in China and not in the USA for the price that they are.

Nice shorts; as stated in review, for the price paid, they should've made in the USA.

I wore my shorts for the first time last night. The fit was great with an elasticized waist for some after dinner give. I love the pockets (4) in the front. They are also why I gave it a 4 instead of a 5. I think the longest pocket is a little too long. I put my keys in the long pocket and as I walk my knee hits the keys and makes them rattle and makes noise while I walk. I don't normally take my keys out of my pocket so being in the deep pocket is not a concern but I think a real key pocket would be a good addition. If I changed pockets and put my keys in the shorter pocket the long pocket would make getting to my wallet a little hard while sitting down. The change stopper I don't know what this is unless its a design feature to stop change from falling out but the pockets are deep enough to prevent this as well as well as stopping a pick pocket. The rear pockets are held closed by small magnets that seems to work just fine. With one pocket long and one extra long things do not set on top of one another in the layered pockets so the short front has a nice flat look not bulky or sticking out at all. The Short material is very nice and soft goes well with a nice dress shirt here in Florida. I am not sure I would call these cargo shorts but they were a very good buy all in all.

Your products are good but you raised your prices too much last year during Covid-19
Nick - 08/06/2021
Excellent. It's like having the pocket space of a coat in your shorts. Perfect for dorks like me who carry a hundred things in their pockets. And the stretchy waist band is top notch, maybe too top notch. The fabric they use for the hidden cargo pockets is insanely breathable, and I run pretty warm. And the belt loops are very secure. Now the cons that need tweaking: It's 2021. 100% cotton will always be an inferior fabric. It's hot, it's wicks moisture slowly, and OMG these shorts rinkle worse than any ive seen. A quick steam or iron fixes it, but come on. A bit of stretch added to the fabric would be great too. Theyre also quite wide by the knees, and it's more noticable if you're slender. I'm 5'9" about 150lbs. I understand it's to keep the hidden pockets nice and large, but a slimmer smaller pocket option would be nice. And the hidden pockets kind of float loosely under the shorts. Its not a problem until you try and pull out something and the inside pocket tries to come out with you. It won't, but it would help if they just stitched the inside pocket down a bit. And the biggest issue. The price. It's super tough to justify $80 for a pair of shorts. If it's the fancy multilayer stretch waist band thing that's making it so expensive, than take it away. A super stretch waist band is nice, but not that nice. So I love these shorts. But I will not be buying another pair until they update the design, lower the price, or I hit the loto

Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
