The Shorts Thread

[Esmith5488]

I’m sorta with everyone here as I’m currently wearing baggies. Baggies for almost everything and I’ll skate in lululemon chino shorts because they are super stretchy and end up not stinking too bad after a session. Haven’t tried skating in baggies though. The Patagonia traveler chino shorts are super stretchy too but unless you get them on sale are way over priced

GX1000 Double Knee Corduroy Shorts fit a little over TTS with some extra room if you eat or drink too much. Polar Big Boy shorts feel like straight fit compared to these. I was a bit worried when I first got them because I could fit both legs in a single leg of the shorts, but they shrunk after going through the washer dryer. If you get them for $50 or under, they’re totally worth it.

Dime Carpenter Denim Shorts are good, but they’re a bit pricey. They fit the best out of all my shorts but the price tag is steep.

Polar Surf Shorts are good but I only skate in them if I know I’m going to be drenched in sweat.

Looking for light shorts with a deck fit similar to nike sb kearny lets say.... That are light material for skating in the heat. ANy ideas?

Volcom Veeco Transit Shorts from 2023, handfull still around. Seriously the best shorts every. IF you can find them...

Hybrid shorts so you could swim in them, they are super lightweight, pockets EVERYWHERE (small stash zippered ones too) and decently heavy elastic key loop.

agreed with the cut off carhartts
currently rocking mesh mitchell and ness ball shorts
bulls retro pair but would rather have the pinstripes

Retro NBA shorts are cool, but I had two pairs of those M&N ones and the team logo patch faded and eventually peeled off of both of them. There's no embroidery or stitching on them - it's just a screen printed(?) graphic on a cloth patch that's glued to the shorts. They'd probably survive if you don't put them in the dryer, but I'm not hanging up a pair of mesh basketball shorts to dry.

Not very shorts outside of really hot periods and the Polar Surf Shorts are really nice and light.
Often at - 30% towards my home.

Besides, I don't really understand the delirium of jeans shorts because it's still quite hot.

the hardwood classics have embroidered patches
kinda pricey at retail, but i thrifted these for $25
ebay usually has solid deals on them too

Good to know - looks like it's the 'Swingman' ones that suck.

I've got a few pairs of the Dickies cooling shorts that I really like.

Guessing gramicci or kavu or something. Maybe palante if handy andy's making shorts now.

I typically like Volcom pants and their relaxed versions fit me perfectly and seem to last really well. But their lines are so inconsistent to find the same pair again so I haven’t really got any of their shorts besides swimming trunks. They are also inconsistently priced.
I ended up finding these on Amazon: Wrangler Authentics Men's Performance Comfort Flex Cargo Short
They fit great, really comfortable and I prefer them whenever it’s shorts weather time. Skate in them all summer and they hold up and the slight stretch means I never worry about ripping if my legs get into some odd position. I already got a few in different colors and will keep getting them in the future unless I find something better. I doubt it less than the $30 these cost though. I recently also tried some pants from the same line and I don’t think they are as good as my Volcom pants but they are way cheaper and I’m pretty sure I can easily get the exact same style every time I want. Will see if they last as well but so far, so good.

Good call, should have put a reference originally.

They're the ones in the clip at 24:20 here. Looking at the belt maybe they are gramicci?

Hard to tell but defo looks like gramicci, but there's a lotta gramicci-style shorts out there

Edit

Per his Instagram story, I'm almost 100% certain they're gramicci shorts

Appreciate that! Possibly the ridge shorts it seems. What did he post on the story? I don’t have insta to check

[swongolianbbq]

They're prolly just the classic G-shorts
100% not Ridge shorts

Just some skatepark clips in another color of the same ones

Reminds me I still have a few pairs of old made in USA g-shorts and pants I need to get around to selling
