I've looked at Macy's, Hallenstein Brothers, David Jones, Myer, Surf Stitch, The Iconic, Asos, Mr Simple, The Hut sites (not just sale items) for a pair of shorts that I like and can't find anything.
These are close, but I don't like the melon colour.
These and these are close, but they don't have a coin pocket.
These may be ok, but I'm not sure what 'drop crotch' means in these shorts.
These may be ok, but can't tell about a coin pocket from the site.
These look ok, but are not available in my size.

Any ideas for where else to look?

    Myer side is down (surprise… surprise) so I can't see your example…

    But have you looked at Saba or Marcs? I find them great for something a bit more smart… though they are pricey…

      Thanks for the suggestions. Nothing there that suits.

    maybe something like this from jeans west?

    if you dont like those ones, about a third of the jeans west shorts look like they have coin pockets

      Thanks for the suggestion - that particular one is not available in my zize, but there is something else there that is worth investigating further.

    You can buy coin pockets, either iron-on or sew-in from most haberdashery outlets like Spotlight or Lincraft. e.g. http://www.birchhaby.com.au/ourrange.asp#expand You can get your local shopping center alteration outlet to put them in if you are unable. That would allow you to concentrate on getting the clothing you really want and add the functionality later.

      Thanks for expanding my haberdashery horizon.

    Check out the Country Road outlet

    http://outlet.countryroad.com.au/shop/menswear/clothing/shor…

    I got 4 of these in each of the colours before Christmas for $10 each and bought other stuff to qualify for the Amex $30 credit and get free delivery. They don't seem available online anymore:

      Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, my size is not available. $10 was a great price.

    cant really tell if something has coin pockets on many sites though
    the people at this site are generally responsive if you ask them questions

        about that coin pocket though
        i just checked my old pair of saxon
        there was a coin pocket is inside the pocket itself

        also drop crotch = crotch area hangs lower than it normally should
        though this model doesnt really look like one
        unless they have the wrong pictures up there

    I eventually found something at Lowes. Highland Ridge was the brand.
    I bought a couple of pairs at The Warringah Mall store. The boss there reduced the price saying he was offloading them.
