Cargo Shorts

[roger101]

Best shop/market or store to buy Cargo Shorts. It used to be Made in Thailand (Night Bazaar) is it still the same or are there better places now. By best I mean cheapest I don't wear them to be fashionable but to have multi pockets.

[Mac Mickmanus]

Markets would be the cheapest place . which markets gave you already looked in ?

  The different  Markets tend to carry the same stock , so any market will have cheap shorts

Glad to see you're not biased. Because I carry a phone and a couple of other things it's either a bum bag or a shoulder bag. I prefer to have neither and have everything in my pockets. By the way I have never worn a vest in my life apart from when I was little in winter under a shirt.

Why don't you carry a handbag ?

Thats ok...  So long as you are wearing a neatly pressed collared shirt, well ironed slacks and polished loafers you’ll bring the 'average back up'... and we ‘farang’ will be judged accordingly all thanks to you !!!!...

Proton; I hope you do realize that Pattaya is a seaside resort and mode of dress is going to be that much more relaxed.

Don't worry Roger101, a lot of us highly respected elders wear cargo shorts for the reasons mentioned, carrying stuff.

Some of these fashion icons are shocked to find out another man doesn't moisturize.

I don't care what other men wear, don't see why anyone would.

One of the best inventions in mens wear in years.

 

If you don't like them, then don't wear them.

True. Characteristic uniform of a tiresome old Brit. And that checked collared shirt from an East End thrift shop hanging over a pregnant belly, all topped off smartly with white socks and sandals. Gag. Immediately alerts Immigration officers and traffic cops. 

 

Fortunately, God (or "the thing" as Biden would say) and the Americans gave us the t-shirt, jeans, and Nike trainers. For Pattaya pavements and riding bigger bikes, trekking shoes. Level up.????

I did see a few different types of cargo shorts in Robinsons a while back, so they might be worth a try.

[Boyn]

A simple request for information turns into several rants against cargo shorts and the people who wear them, what is happening on this forum.?

Certainly better than wearing a backpack? I can never figure what people put in them?

There are cheap cargo shorts at the Pattaya night bizarre across from Central Festival/View Talay 6, second road.  Also Mikes shopping mall seaside and even the old Mikes near Walking street entrance.  

 

Yes, wearing a backpack is sweaty and uncomfortable.

Unfortunately they're all made for 6"6 tall and go way past the knee for anyone 5"10'

There's a reason they named them Cargo Shorts. They were marketed towards the guys who thought their "package" was actually bigger than it is and considered it cargo. They just added all the pockets to be more fashionable.
