Where can I get some durable shorts? I always seem to rip my shorts and I don’t know why. I just recently got some cargo shorts from Pac Sun and they ripped on the third day of doing nothing but light exercise and sitting around. What the hell.
Are there any recommendations? Am I just going too cheap or something? I can’t seem to keep my shorts in one piece.
What’s a super durable brand of comfortable, good looking shorts? (I love cargo shorts)

Skip the faux surfer brands and go find a real surfer brand at a locally owned skate or surf shop if you want to dress like that. You look like an idiot though, a grown ass man in cargo shorts? sheeeeeyit.
Yeah? What would you recommend?
Chinos or some other sort of slack type short in a reasonable fit ending at or just above the knee. It takes a special kind of man but denim cutoffs in a slim fit at the same length can be done. If you have to ask you’re probably not one of them.
What are they appeal of chinos?
Pants for grown-ups.
cut the legs off my old BDU’s right under the reinforced knee bit. great for bicycle riding.
But they are ugly and useless. Cargo pants are intricate and relatively useful.
That part is up to you. Chinos and slacks can look boring or fucking fierce depending on your fit and swagger. Dig it:
I’m not recommending you go for that slim of a fit if you’re not comfortable with it, the important thing is that your pant legs don’t look like shapeless tubes of fabric.
Cargo pants are intricate and relatively useful.
They look like shit and there’s no need to have that many pockets for casual clothing. And carrying shit in them looks retarded anyway.
I guess I just don’t see it. It looks so feminine and distorted and seems like it would get overheated easily.
It looks warm, seriously? Shit, you’d almost think those were from a Fall/Winter collection or something. Those pants breathe better than anything you’ve worn in your life.
I also live in Texas. But that sounds interesting. How are they made? Are they durable? Tell me more.
Here’s the shocking truth: trousers can be light or heavy for, get this, being cooler or warmer. Can you imagine? Get some well-fitting shorts in black, beige, and white if you can rock it. If you want to stick to a budget I would recommend Gap, Banana Republic Zara, Express, or possibly Macy’s, but these are all incredibly boring stores so don’t do too much shopping here.
This model is douchey looking but his shorts fit well:
You can cover your knees if you’re still suffering from post-90s fallout but don’t go past the knees and don’t get something huge and baggy unless you enjoy looking like a sloppy middle-schooler.
Why do you say it looks like a sloppy middle schooler?
I would have thought it would look prepared.
Is this a very urban idea?
You lost me with that one. Baggy cargo shorts look prepared? For?
Great outfit if you’re going shopping:
for cock.
Jesus Christ. Go to Goddamn JC Penny and pick up some cargo shorts. Throw Some hi top PF Flers on your feet, A regular T-Shirt without any faggoty MMA shit on it and press on with pride and motivation. This Metro sexual BS has gotten completely outta hand.
Nothing about that outfit is metro. It’s the way he’s holding the bag and his goofy hairstyle that are confusing you. Thanks for the PF Flyers rep though.
The pockets on cargo shorts are extremely useful. They typically close very completely so your stuff doesn’t fall out when in akward positions, the items end up out of the way from common areas to put pressure (all around the hips and butt), and if form is a major concern, the chunkiness a. looks awesome and b. is part of the design so having something in them doesn’t screw up the form like in the pants you posted. Might as well not have pockets if you never use them.
So, always prepared. Transporting tools, notes, or found objects, a hike, some impromptu wrestling, whimsical rock climbing or other spur of the moment activities or just lazing on the couch- these are all things that a proper pair of casual shorts should be prepared for. Anything else is morbidly deficient.
If you’re out on the trail, wrangling horses, or climbing a mountain or something then it doesn’t really matter what your shorts look like. But you might as well wear fishing waders if you’re just going around town. You shouldn’t be carrying much more than a wallet, keys, and a cellphone, plus lighter and cigs if you smoke, and these can all fit quite comfortably in normal pockets. Why are you tooling up to raid Saigon every time you go to the store?
