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

Byron, I think that is Lycra printed to look like cut down denim. The artists are getting good, but take a look at the leather authenticity badge, it just doesn't look real.

I liked the look of the front pockets sticking out below the bottom of the shorts on cutoffs when short shorts were in fashion.

Default Byron u missed the point

My post referring to OP shorts was about how lengths have changed for guys shorts and swimwear. Go read it again.... OP shorts were the in-style guys casual shorts of the day.

Basketball players such as Michael Jordan really got long shorts in the mainstream when the players decided against wearing the usual short shorts that were worn for years. They wanted shorts that were more their style which were longer and looser than the older players' shorts.

Default "their style"

.......might that by any chance include the manufacturers' opportunity for a price-hike, advertising space, and lurid coloring?
I have yet to be convinced that a long mass of manmade fiber clinging to a sweaty leg during play can in some way be more comfortable to wear.
