great quality but fit depends color

"Great style and material good quality, BUT too much size difference between colors. Dark Navy is way longer below the knee than brown. Runs too long. Also tried a Black in store with another length. All size 29."

Volcom Still makes The Best Urban Shorts

"The Frickin Modern shorts have to date back to the 1990s. That's 3 decades of durability, wrinkle free looks and high performance. These look great with any untucked top, button up shirt, or hoodie. I think of these shorts as a summer uniform. Whether or not you're a skater, you will appreciate the durability and ease of cleaning (just wash cold and hang dry for 24 hours). They are wrinkle free and come in a wide array of colors. Build a collection. The Frickin Moderns are timeless now."

Poor quality stitching

"Arrived out of bag with frayed stitching in pant leg. Requested replacement and was told they couldn’t do replacements. I could return and order a new pair… horrible quality, even worse customer service"
