Short Shorts On The Way Back!!!

[Byron]

Interesting - to what extent up to the waist band do you remove the thread of the side seam?
Put me right on this but are not the Adidas and other splits for runners constructed with a slight fabric overlap at the open sides ?

I had several pairs of worn out jeans that I decided to make into cut offs. So I chopped them off a bit over 1/2 way up from the knees (which is as high as I can go without exposing the bottom of the pockets).

I've been casually wearing them out in public for about a year and they look and feel great.

No derogatory looks or comments either!!!

Whenever I see the cut-off denims in hot weather it always seems to be the girls now who have taken over the fashion which could be more readily seen amongst the boys a few years back.
Do you go for new leg hemlines or prefer the frayed look ?
(and determining the correct height of cut at the base of bum cheeks is important I feel).

A few years back we had a construction guy working on the house, he had one of those incredible natural builds, probably about .0005% body fat, and thankfully he wore obscenely short cutoffs. Literally his balls hung out of them, he was totally at ease, happy with that. He'd even go down to the liquor store deli to buy lunch wearing those tiny obscene cut offs. He wasn't all just good looks, he was a real good, competent worker.

It is hot and sunny today and I suddenly have an urge to get some house repairs done.....

Good subject!

Short short split shorts are just up my alley.

Here is a cheap one, I have been eyeing to buy it. Either yellow or light blue.

i got some. Quality D-. Short - YES, lets just say they are not really a cover up for speedos. Consistency in sizing F. Friend got some the same size and color and fit entirely different. Good Luck. As always, its a crap shoot when ordering from China. Kind of like a trip to Vegas - if you can't afford to lose the money, don't go there.

Nice!
I wear shorts like that too - love it!
If people want to stare or comment, they can.
I get as many positive as negative reactions -
Hope fully coz I look good in them........
Real shorts look + feel amazin!

Shorter or longer than these ?

PS: These denims have had considerably more cutting and redesign in the recycling so I guess really only suitable for the bedroom:

My cut off jeans are somewhere in between the two extremes - about 2-1/2" shorter than the first one and about 6" longer than the second.
