Cargo shorts

  1. DdBob, your tastes are surprisingly hipster for an old guy.
  2. They are all fucking short pants. Cut off jeans, gym trunks, cargo shorts, Bermuda shorts, whatever -they are just pants that end above your knees. Arguing about the subtleties of said pants is akin to arguing how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
Can we get back to reasonable arguments like Sriracha vs Tabasco?

Again, why do you care what I wear?

If my wife buys me cargo shorts, that's good enough for me. I wear jeans and a t shirt to work every fucking day. When I come home, I put on basketball shorts.

You don't like it, fuck off and stop looking at my ass.

right now a work uniform. I will let you know what I wear this evening when I have a choice. I am making a statement though by leaving my shirt untucked.

Ok, yeah. I will put out there what I am wearing. Let's all do.

Cole Haan saddle brown loafers. Matching belt. Non-pleated khakis. pale blue green over white checked shirt. Nordstrom silk tie to match shirt. Charcoal blazer.

Cromulent court wear for Blaine County, Idaho.

After work will be either cycling or hiking wear temporarily, then longer tech type sweats, old running shoes (not white) or Sanooks, and t-shit. Maybe a hoody depending on temp. It has been cold and rainy.

I am wearing me work uni as well. Jeans and a t shirt. Anyone who wears something fancier is likely to ruin their dockers or get their tie wrapped up in the drill press.

Did you iron in the creases into your uniform this morning? Wrinkles are for losers. Who wants a guy in a wrinkled uniform working on their car? Nobody, that's who!

Jesus Christ.

Yes, of course, wear whatever the fuck you want. But fashion is a real thing and being fashionable isn’t the same thing as being trendy. People who deny this are tiresome.

But what’s (not) really astounding is how the people who get super-defensive over their Wal-Mart shorts are always the same people who get giddy over classist ‘People of Wal-Mart’ threads.

I'm home and showered now...really shitty day and sweated like a pig to boot....I'm wearing some Prana Mojo shorts like the link I posted in a Burnt orange color (bought em' three years ago, color no longer available because that's one of the perks of non cookie cutter cargo shorts...colorways change)I am wearing a light grey heather t-shirt (100 percent cotton in a 30 singles ring spun) . This is not the brand of shirt I'm wearing but it explains singles thread count....https://www.spectratees.com/what-is-ring-spun-cotton/

When someone says ’20 singles’ or ’30 singles’ ring spun it refers to the gauge (thickness) of the yarn in the t-shirts. The higher the number, the better quality and softer feel of the shirt. 18 singles = cheap, 20 singles = a step up in quality & hand feel especially if it is 20 singles ring spun (style 2100 from Spectra USA), 30 singles (see Spectra USA list below) = the bomb!

The best way to remember, think of bedsheets: the higher the thread count = the better quality.




Beyond that I'm barefoot and will stay that way as I'm not leaving the house. I will be settling in for the Giants game shortly.

rhat loser has his shirt tucked in. It's pointless and an excersise in futility...you lay on a creeper , lay under a dash, stand on yer head, etc, etc....your shirt will shift and become untucked. just embrace the untucked look and enjoy the added benefit of increased airflow
