Some new shorts I'm stoked on

Board shorts for surfing, diving, swimming, etc.
Fishing shorts, dry quick, even comes with bottle opener and line cutter in case Silverfly gets yanked over board by his big ahi.
Walk shorts, cotton shorts for everything out of the water. I wear shorts 365. I can get all three of these with my discount for one pair of your's Swimmy. Inflation means to look for bargains that are functional. Needs vs wants kinda thing.
 
Lee Tri-Flex shorts.
Very comfortable.

I like those fishing shorts.
 
I’d wear shorts were it not for my fishbelly white legs…they’ll blind you in the sun. :oops:
You have to sit your ass in the sun for a few days. No longer than a hour. Be sure turn your body every once in a awhile. You don't want to get sun burned. This works for me. And my legs are way older than yours.

Your whole body is way older than ours!! 🤪😝😄🤣
 
Last time you started a shorts thread, you were all about fashion while only mildly attending to function.

Anyone can be best in industry. This discussion is for those who look bigger.

If you want to be best in the world, fashion is king.

Men's pants and shorts must have functional pockets.

I have two back pockets, two front pockets. Do I really need more than that?

Or are you one of those dudes who shows up to the river with pockets stuffed full of shit?
 
I had a pair of 7" inseam REI shorts that I'm having to give away. They were always a bit snug and lacked stretch, but now that I've been cycling to work they're just way too tight around the thighs. I'm replacing them with these, which arrive Friday. As for pockets on shorts, they're typically so deep that I feel two is enough but won't complain about a back pocket with a zipper.

I like these.

I have been a long time Patagucci wearer and really appreciate the brand. the last few years though i have found the fit super uneven from product to product. Some mediums are more like smalls. Some larges are more like XL. Some shirts the sleeves will be right length, but the arms will be too tight (nope - i don’t have massive arms). Waist size 32 is my go to but have found even that to be inconsistent.

Funny part is i am the size (height/weight) of their typical model. They usually say “model is 6’0” or “model is 6’1” and i am right between that. Sometimes they say “model is 170 lbs” or “model is wearing 32” and i am usually right at that.....but the size they describe the model wearing often is a wonky fit.

My wife has noted that while my dims seem equivalent, I am not as cut or attractive as the models. I have reminded her that i used to be before being chained to a desk, working long hours for years, far away from surf and that a month off surfing in Indonesia would take care of it. Sigh.
 
Look good, feel good, play good...this has been scientifically proven true:)
‘2 out of three ain’t bad’ … Meatloaf

In case you can’t have it all, feeling and playing good take priority. I prefer a campsite cozy chair fireside with a cold beer and with a good cowboy hot brisket bean bowl. After a day of playing good and feeling good I could care less how I look….. But definitely no shorts that have the word panty associated with it!!!!

Jim, the first thing I need to do that is sun. We haven’t had much lately…
 
When I cut them down, it will be at the knees or longer. My thigh's are a little fat yet.

Don't feel bad. If I wear shorts then I have to wear an open toe shoe (thanks Swimmy for setting me straight). But then the problem is you can see my fungal ecosystem of toenails in all their thickened yellow glory. Nobody wants to see that so I keep em covered. Children are definitely fascinated by the sights and smells and have awesome uncensored comments about them which I fully appreciate like ,"oh my god mom, he's a raptor, look at his claws!" Or my favourite, "oh no he must have got the black goo on him cause his toes are going District nine, gross!"

Fact Check: FALSE

I have it on good authority (2 teenage fashionista's) that Vans, mocs, closed toe sandals, Nikes, etc. are okay with shorts. I hear about it when I break the rules, like wearing Crocs. But they are just great camp shoes! There may be rules that are age-dependent though...
