"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I wear these for yard work, gardening, and quick weekend projects. The canvas is tough but not overly stiff, and the bit of stretch makes a big difference when I’m kneeling or lifting. They hold their shape, feel durable, and honestly get more comfortable with every wash.""For warm days spent tending plants, tackling to-do lists, or simply moving through our weekend routines, the Stand Up Shorts from Patagonia deliver sturdy comfort with easygoing flexibility. The Regenerative Organic Certified cotton canvas brings a substantial feel built for hands-on work, while the added spandex helps us squat, bend, and lift without fighting our clothes. The shorter inseam keeps the fit breezy on hot afternoons, and the clean, structured silhouette transitions naturally from backyard chores to laid-back outings. With responsible Fair Trade Certified construction supporting the build, these shorts feel ready for seasons of wear—each one softening slightly with time without losing their reliable toughness."
