Retired and I own 6 pairs all from a website called Blair. Soft material, all elastic waistband and enough room to scratch my balls if needed.

I would agree with absolutely all of this.



If they were comfortable. I don’t understand how anyone finds them comfortable. They’re long, heavy, baggie and bulky. I would feel like a circus clown if I were to wear them. I’m all about function over form but they’re like a cheap Swiss Army knife. They can do a lot of things but they suck at every one of those things.

I have some aftco and Columbia shorts that have pockets on the sides. But I wouldn’t call them cargo shorts. I’d call them utility shorts. They also don’t weigh 7 pounds a pair.

Preach it brother. I'm now 72, not out to impress anyone with my sartorial splendor with how much I'm trendy and can spend on items of clothing.

I'm all about comfort, ease of maintenance----as in wash and dry, don't give a single frick what you think as long as I'm feeling comfortable and relaxed.

I find the older I get, the less I give a damn what other's think and sorry I didn't adapt that attitude decades earlier.

Now. get off my lawn.......................

I think I got like two or three left in the bottom of my shorts drawer. They’ll probably never see the light of day again.

Haven’t worn cargo shorts in years but use to. I liked the fact that there were enough pockets to win a war of attrition if I was ever searched for weed.
