"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""These are the shorts I grab when I just want something comfortable that still looks clean. The organic cotton twill feels soft from the first wear, and the elastic waist with the drawstring is perfect for lazy weekends or travel days. Simple, comfortable, and super easy to live in."" We count on the Dock 8in Short when warm weekends call for an easy, comfortable layer we don’t have to think twice about. L. L. Bean uses soft, garment-washed organic cotton twill that delivers instant broken-in comfort while still looking clean enough for coffee runs or casual afternoons out. The full elastic waistband and adjustable drawstring give these shorts a relaxed, pull-on feel that moves effortlessly with us. A classic fit keeps things timeless and comfortable, while front side pockets and a back pocket provide simple storage for keys, cards, and other small essentials. Whether we’re loading up the cooler, wandering the boardwalk, or just taking it slow, these shorts make warm-weather days feel even easier."
