I am a big fan of Carhartt cargo shorts and pants and have several. My last tan ones finally wore out after a couple of years of abuse (dirt, tools, carpentry, general wear and tear) so I got these.
These are made of a heavier, stiffer fabric a little like canvas. This is great for shape and for durability, but they can... bunch up a bit when sitting in, say, an office chair for a while. But I didn't get them for that.
The right front pocket's bottom isn't a sharp corner; there's a small horizontal part that is extra-reinforced to the point you could likely hang a drillgun off it and not have this reinforced fabric piece roll or flop. This piece is nice to have and it doesn't get in the way.
Otherwise the shorts are much as I expect from Carhartt. Robust stitching, roomy pockets, definite impression of quality and hope I'll again get a couple of years of hard wear out of them. I should note that I am about a 35-36" waist, 6'1" tall with thighs and butt on the larger/muscular side and these shorts are neither too snug nor floppy. If you've got skinny legs and a bony butt, you'll have plenty of room in them.
The pockets are deep and the side leg pockets have a good big flap and close very securely. Working horizontally on the floor and rolling under things or scooching around doesn't worry me about the pockets opening and losing things. Lastly, they're pretty true to color to what I saw on the photo here. So if you need good strong work cargo shorts, these should do.
