Short Shorts On The Way Back!!!

[NJHunkguy]

Yes, shocking to me too, 2 weeks ago I saw a young man jogging on the Brooklyn streets wore a pair of black shorts similar length to that one I shown. Pretty much never saw any around this area of the US.

(Probably more chance to see short shorts in Central Park and Chelsea Piers.)

I thought I noticed, over the past couple of years, a slow increase in the number of men wearing short(er) shorts, not only for running, etc., but also just around on the street, so I'm happy to see others have noticed the same thing. Personally, I've always tried to wear short shorts as often to possible. My preference is for 2-3 in. inseams and shiny nylon but I wear all types of shorts. I recently had a pair of low rise jeans altered to a pair of shorts with about 4 in. inseam. It had to be that long because of the pockets.
It's difficult to find short shorts but they are available on ebay and other places. So few guys wear short shorts that they aren't even marketed to guys. Soffe makes short nylon shorts called "slicks" that I really like but you have to know that on their web site, the shorts are listed under the female "Junior" size shorts, altho they are sized and cut for males (probably unisex) and they used to be sold as shorts for men.

" I recently had a pair of low rise jeans altered to a pair of shorts with about 4 in. inseam. It had to be that long because of the pockets."

That's the main problem in making cutoffs. You have to carefully measure the leg length you want while you're actually wearing them. Otherwise the pockets will show below the leg line which looks really wacky.

I found some illustrations to go with the recent discussion of side split shorts (sprinters). It's quite clear how these shorts are constructed because they are very transparent.

Don't much like his speedos and not all the shorts but some pleasurable research undertaken from which I conclude:
Cheap at £2.95 and in the white pics I think I see some broad vertical stripes of a modesty speedo beneath.

These shorts do not appear to be fully split with side seam overlaps but are sufficiently so to go beyond describing just as with side notch . I am in some confusion however as I think I see a second seamline but only in that with blue braiding.
(Torchwatch must assist me there)
Whatever, there is plenty to see on his Ebay page and also in Google Images.

(btw do we not have or used to have a board member from Brighton?)

I love the look of a guy swimming in a speedo and all that wet skin really gives me a rush.

However the look of a guy out running in short running shorts and those developed thighs are the next best thing!!!

Yes, front pockets a problem for denim cut-offs - here the rear pockets just about survive:
