I'm not saying I don't wear them.

They May Be Ugly, But Cargo Shorts Are Still King

How else can you comfortably carry a wallet, mobile phone, and keys?

I personally don't care, I find it comfortable. Who cares what others think about it no ?

Marco with all his stuff....

 

He could also pack his Bola in here for trying to keep up with his new lady.....

Men's cargo shorts are hideous only if you have chicken legs or as Thais call them, frog legs. In fact, wearing any type of shorts is hideous if you suffer from the quite common chicken leg disease. If that's the case, get to a gym asap and pump those calf muscles before wearing any shorts in public.

Another hideous thing is skinny jeans or any skinny pants. Makes that person look really gay.

Stop taking everything personal. An old guy like you should have learned that by now.

A lot of time the cut of the pattern....I used to have big thighs from playing sports, 29" (was really hard to find pants/levis)  & they are about 3" less now = so not spindly....

 

But, I make sure to try shorts on now because some are cut so large it does make the legs appear small....If I find some I like I'll get 4 or 5 pair of different colors.....

It's a real bonus to find some with one zipper pocket for security.....

 

I mostly wear 3/4 length I found online that has a zipper pocket....They don't bell out at the bottom.....

Looking at the "cargo-pants" situation, Charles Darwins theory of Evolution must be questioned. No "evolution" has taken place as far as cargo-pants are concerned, otherwise we would be able to pack a beach-umbrella, a beach-chair and a small charcoal-grill into a pair of cargo-pants. There you have it!
Cheers.

But Bob Darwin's of theory of evolution is on track since for evolution to occur one has to procreate . Good luck trying to get laid if you ware cargo pants.

Hey!

I don't think they were very prevalent when I first moved to Thailand in 1989. I brought a few over from Banana Republic and found them great for traveling and trekking, but wore them out over time. I loved when the Thais started making them and selling them in tourist spots, but they are pretty shoddy ones. You can do much better for the same price in the USA.

Only gays & closet gays who haven't come out yet like to wear skinny jeans. Real men wear loose pants to let their package breathe.

Their fine if you don't where them too often. I try to limit my use to about 300 days a year.

The cost of the return air ticket makes them very expensive though.

 

To answer the OP, I love them and wear them 365/16/7.

Why are you so concerned about what guys are wearing sausage pirate.. 

 

Cargo shorts are awesome.. and the women love them. 

The blokes who ware them remind me of the Ken Dodd vid On the Road to Mandalay. Right Chumps in Black Socs n Jesus Creaper Sandals .?[emoji481]

Personal....Old guy.......?    

If you are over 30 ish,skinny jeans are a no no,women do not enjoy seeing a guys package presented like this well most don't,also not good for the sperm ,they tend to overheat.Back to the cargo shorts,it would be great if they could develop a back pocket like the Tardis in doctor who,then you could quite literally disapear up your own arse.

I find with the cargo shorts that if I carry too much in the pockets they tend to be dragged down so the crotch is about knee level. Do you think wearing braces with cargo shorts would be a good look?

You forgot the condoms.

... and money.
