We just literally had a thread about how the sales slowed, so no.

Sales slowing and people not wearing them can be completely different. And if young adults (18-early 20's) aren't wearing them as much, that would lead to that result. That doesn't mean grown ups aren't wearing them as much, and any visual census could tell you that. At least here in the west coast.

Don't forget there was also an article a few months back about how the sales of jeans have slowed.

How can someone make it through life being so vapid. Jesus.

[GeordieMark]

men at women who don't shave their armpits: "gross, ugly, shave it or else!"

same men when women @ them for cargo shorts: "don't be judgemental and shallow!"

This post needs an explanation. I know my girlfriend has no qualms sharing her opinion on what I should and shouldn't wear, and on my general grooming.

 

[LyleLanley]

I fucking knew it! Cargo-shorts wearers are bad people.

 

[thechristoph]

What's with the knees thing? Why are so many here afraid of shorts that stop above their knee?

Pathological fear of inner man-thigh. If you see another man's inner thigh, you catch it.

 

[Lorcain]

I make one reply in the previous thread on cargo shorts and now I'm getting cargo shorts banner ads. It's a conspiracy!

Not all cargo shorts are the same. The '70s version that I wore as a kid were not baggy. They had pockets and zippers, but they were much more form fitting.

Should only allowed if they're like this

I'd be open to being contaminated by them

A lot of people in here seem to think if you're wearing cargos that they're the old ultra baggy and long ones with the big puffy, billowing pockets. The ones I wear are above the knee cap, and have completely flush side pockets.

Although the huge baggy cutoff ones are usually awful.

 

[JCX]

What?

I don't like cargo shorts, so I don't wear them.

Before your ninja edit, you said you were embarrassed by them. Embarassment only exists when there are other people around judging you for something. that's why I said what I said.

Now if your actual post-edit reason is that you don't like them, that's fine. Do you boo.

 

[PillarEN]

Just don't wear the stereotypical brown super baggy American Eagle type of cargo shorts. Or do if you want to be pegged as a tourist when you leave the US.

 

[Flo_Evans]

I only ever hear about this on GAF.

100% cargo shorts here. (well, Canada, so like 40%).

my wife would definitely toss the euro shorts. I showed her this article and she scoffed hard.

Actual true story:

I was in line at my favorite fried chicken place wearing cargo shorts. Now this is a pretty casual place, the owner is a true missouri redneck, weighs in at 350lbs and wears camo cargo shorts all the time.

So I am minding my own business catching some pokemon in line and I overhear the people in line scoffing at my attire.

So yeah these people exist in real life. They are shallow asshole people that mock others but they exist.

I still own a pair of jorts. Don't clown me bro.

Jorts I can live with. I would rather die than wear a pair of cargo shorts though.

 

[cDNA]

industry for more than 15 years, including at Ralph Lauren and J. Crew, said he has never felt comfortable wearing cargo shorts because they “don’t look cool enough.”

“Men want to be like James Bond,” Mr. Haglin said. “Bond never wears cargo shorts.”

What type of idiocy is this? Bond is a fictional character that wears whatever the creatives(commercial sponsors) of the movies decides.

Bond is a man who regularly has sex, having him wear cargo shorts would completely ruin that image.

I actually wish jean shorts would come back. I miss those carefree 90's when your jeans wore out, you could just cut them into shorts.

If gaf cast bond it would be Adam sandler in cargo pants and flip flops.

Side note I hope this thread goes to 30 pages I don't like losing.

So like a regular dude here in SoCal? Man some of you have some weird style phobias.

 

[Incendiary]

Most of my shorts are cargo shorts. No shame here.

Also no SO here - wonder if the cargo shorts have been my problem all along?!

 

[Tedesco!]

I'm a dad of twins. I find cargo shorts to be a necessity.

I did some research and the answer is yes

And look at the dismal state of California. Droughts, no money, etc.

How dare you blame the dire state of CA on cargos and flipflops!!

 

[PsychoSoldier]

I do wonder if there's a little classism at play here in people's weird fixation with how much they hate cargo shorts.

Anyways, I have a girlfriend who asks me to carry shit for her all the time so until that changes I'll continue to wear them from time to time.

My regular shorts are like $10 - $30.

It's definitely classism, people who wear cargo shorts are inferior.

May I ask what state you live in?

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

It's also not a "weird fixation." You guys would feel the same if bell bottom jeans lasted 25 years. Shit just looks bad on all people.

If you're a parent though, rock on.

 

[LyleLanley]

The only one worth living in. New York.

 

[SDCowboy]

Ok, I figured you lived in the east coast with your perception of cargo shorts and their wearers. If you live west of the mississip, they are the normal shorts. lol

You north easterners can stick with your little pastel colored boy shorts.

 

[Aureon]

Do you people wear full-length pants\jeans in August or something?

First of all what the fuck is a Mississippi? Second, what kind of monster would chose to live outside of New York?

 

[SDCowboy]

A lot of folks do. Surprisingly, there is a common sentiment that grown men shouldn't be wearing shorts, period.

You guys seriously have never seen just regular shorts?

My man.

Above the knee makes me feel like a child in an English private school.

Again, regular shorts are subjective. As is self evident in this thread, to most people, cargo shorts are the de facto regular shorts.

absolutely disgusting

What about sitting on top of the knee cap?

 

[Zekes!]

The fuck is with the aversion to shorts above the knee and showing a little leg?

someone that doesnt want to pay state income tax? someone that doesnt want to live where it gets balls cold in the winter? i could go on...

not in a long ass time.

 

[Sesuadra]

I wear jeans. Everyday. Even in summer with 37C..so what do I care about cargo shorts.

 

[JABEE]

Those shorts helped win the war.

 

[MikeDown]

so what you're saying GAF is I need to throw these out, or at least maybe iron them

 

[kavanf1]

It's all about working out what looks good on you.

And this is accurate:

Above the knee makes me feel like a child in an English private school.

Dude, that's NSFL, put a warning or something.

And yeah, iron your stuff.
