The heavyweight knit cord is way thicker than I expected, which gives them a nice structured drape instead of that flimsy shorts feel. I've worn them on a couple of casual Fridays and they hold their shape all day.
These corduroy walkshorts are way heavier than I expected, in a good way — the thick knit cord actually holds its shape instead of going baggy after a few hours. Wore them on a long walk and the texture kept them from feeling like thin gym shorts.
