Why do people who like guns like cargo short as well?
>>27906480
Who cares.
Because when I shoot I like to wear them to hold shit. I may not where them around campus but god damn that weekend at home they'll be loaded up with loose rounds and mags.

Because I can't find any god damn shorts that length/material without pockets. It's always either

or

Why, to store all my dragon dildos in, of course!
>>27906714
get stretchy skinny jeans for improved movement then and then throw some goretex spray so they are water repellant
and presto, you are now a fashion conscious operator. Tight pants mean tighter groupings ;)
>>27906714
Decent skinny jeans have spandex in them. They fit and move fine. If they have a gusseted crotch then even better - they'll wear less.
>>27906748
>throw some goretex spray so they are water repellant
That sounds like a sweat trap on jeans.
>>27906480

Cargo PANTS, on the other hand, are GOAT.
also this >>27906500
>>27906480
Cargo shorts are the fedora of the legs.
Jeans are master race. Cargo pants are acceptable if you are operating and climbing over shit in a dynamic fashion
How else are we supposed to carry 8lbs of various tools for our EDC?
>>27906480
Practical people like practical things?
>>27906896
Jeans and a clean shirt will never ever go out of style. They're as immortal as a suit and tie.
>>27906480
Because shorts are comfy and easy to wear!
Also pockets are nice.
>>27906905
>8lbs of various tools for our EDC
You're not even /k/-lite if you don't have at least 8 pounds of guns and ammo on you at all times.
>>27906729
Pretty much this. I'm 6'2" and have to kneel a lot for my job, I want cloth over them. Would love to get longer ones without the cargo pocket, but I actually also use the cargo pocket to carry tools/hardware/supplies/other bullshit, so whatever. They are really shitty for holding mags though, because the weight seems to swing them around and hit me.
>>27906480
I wear pants with cargo pockets to hold magazines so i dont have to put them in my pocket with my keys and risk scratching the shit out of em.
Hunting , it offers a small place to stuff one or two doves while hunting
I also use a pocket to pick up empty shell casings while hunting.
>>27906734
Air drying is the best way to dry the clothes you actually care about.

because I live in Texas and at work when needed I can carry a roll of gaff tape, a couple of rolls of e-tape, a drift pin, c-wrench, tie line, and couplers.
>>27906480
Because skinny jeans are for faggots
>>27906810
If you get the proper goretex it won't be a sweat trap. Only issue is that after heavy use it becomes a sweat trap due to dirt filling up the micro holes which would otherwise allow the fabric to breathe
I like shorts because they are comfy and easy to wear.
>>27906887
This man understands
>not having your skirts modified to accept ALICE belts and keeping your EDC secure but still looking cute
Because shorts without pockets on them look weird.
Also, the 'tech pocket' is fucking awesome.
>>27907483
The wrangler tech pocket? Those are too low for me, I just keep stuff in my front pocket.
Now a knife/flashlight pocket I can dig. I hate when I pull something out of my pocket in a hurry and accidentally eject my clipped knife.
>>27906480
>subtropics
Don't own any cargo shorts, not a fan really. The shorts I wear are like 70's "shorts" or Rhodesian shorts, a few inches above the knee.
They're usually dressier, some I've made out of khakis and I wear them with Oxford shirts.
When pants are required, it's khakis. Denims are too hot.
>>27906690
wtf year is this 1820?
>>27906734
More like: How dumb/lazy are you?
Outdoor air drying is better for cloth, prevents shrinkage of new denim stuff and depending on where you live its also much faster.

Have you been to the EDC threads?? You see how much shit we can and will carry to make us happy??
>>27906729
I was going through the same shit, ended up just learning how to sew. Be surprised how much money I've saved with this skill.
>>27907961
I air dry all of my clothes that aren't my pjs and underwear. I've noticed by doing this my clothes look better and seem to last longer then my peers.
>>27908288
I've done it, a lot, it really sucks with how humid it is here. Heavy stay damp, some things smell moldy because they don't get dry fast enough. I have a drier now and it works better and is more convenient.
>>27908334
I use to do that too. I have so many clothes, that I do laundry like once every two months. So trying to hang dry all that shit is a no go.
>>27908348
*heavy clothes stay damp
>>27908330
What kind of stuff do you sew? Clothes from scratch or modifying clothing to be better?
>>27908359
Mostly modifying stuff. So usually replace the zippers with y2k zips. Reinforce stitching at places I feel will break.
Seeing as it is colder and I can now, I will usually CC a G17, did not like how the spare mag felt in my pocket.... it was bumping around with every thing. So I took my pants and in my left pocket I sewn three dif sleeves. So it'll hold my spare G17 mag, my Flashlight, my Izula 2. Which as also help to keep every thing nice and flat, not make a xbox huge wad in my pocket.
I am learning to do clothes from scratch, as well as learning how to make things from leather.
>>27908395
Sorry for spelling errors and crap. Don't have my contact in atm.
>>27908395
>So I took my pants and in my left pocket I sewn three dif sleeves. So it'll hold my spare G17 mag, my Flashlight, my Izula 2
That sounds really frigging handy
>>27908425
It has been. I am gonna go with version 2.0 soon. Which will have a sort of elastic straps to secure it in the pocket, which will will allow me to secure my stuff, I can also throw shit into the pocket as a whole, so like my cell and crap like that.
>>27906480
Only wear them at work in the summer now. I just wear basketball shorts everywhere.
>>27908441
Quick draw to help explain. Bottom pocket is what it is now. Just a pocket with three sleeves sewn into it, takes up the entire pocket and now pocket is only good for that.
Top one is what I got planned. The small circles is the elastic straps to hold the items in place, still allows the pocket to be used as a normal pocket. Or a giant compartment for crap like a cellphone, or a lil note pad pad, etc.
I like cargo shorts because they're good for holding cargo. Regular shorts or pants don't have enough pockets for my liking, I don't want to cram my keys, phone, cigarettes, etc all in two pockets.
The month long period of "too cold for shorts but too warm for a coat" is hell on my EDC.
>>27906480
because they are comfy and can hold your glowsticks at raves
>>27908479
>month long
>tfw it's easily half the year here
>>27906480

Best pants...
I pretty much never put anything in the cargo part, but it breaks up the monotony of the leg so there is that...
When I try to air dry denim it comes out stiff and smells weird. Gotta have them dryer sheets on medium heat man...
Because I can EDC my XDs in the big cargo pocket super easy.

I'm poor, so I don't have many shorts. They're in plain colors so they go with anything. There comfy and hold everything I carry easily.
I'd much rather wear jeans or something, but even now, mid November, it's in the mid 80s here.

I like shorts during warm weather. But when did pants that go below the knees qualify as "shorts"?
These look like those old school British knickers that little boys used to wear.

>been fat my whole life
>slit pockets always bulged out
>lose a shit ton of weight
>go from 44 waist to 32 waist
>go to try on khakis with slit pockets
>pockets still bulge out
Why was I born with birthing hips? But that's the short story of why I wear cargo shorts instead of khakis like a normal human being. Liking guns is just a coincidence.
>>27906480
I can't wear cargo shorts because I am too hairy but I do love cargo pants. They are always stuffed with things for work, tools or other shit when I am at home or at the range.
everyday things I have in the pockets will be :
right top : debit card, some money (europoor so not a lot)
left top : tissues
right bottom : keys for coffee machine, alen keys, screwdrivers, knife
left bottom : job access pass (I need a couple of them), flashlight
rear right : some bandages, alcohol pads
rear left : treasure pockets : business cards, little maps, misc.

He could carry the mag in his pocket and tactically stick it into his crotch when it's operating time.

Just roll up your pants plebians.
>>27907145
Opposite problem here. I'm a stocky 5'5" manlet so all the good shorts look like pants I grew out of and all the good pants go past my toes. Cutting pants shorter is easier than extending them though, so I guess I have it better than you hulking giants.
>>27906576
>You're a big guy
>>27906480
Better question is why don't YOU like cargo shorts? Maybe a motherfucker wants to be comfortable? Maybe we realize the importance and utility of extra pockets? Have you ever found random cool shit and been like "Oh, fuck. I don't have any room in my pockets to put that?", guys who wear cargo shorts don't have that problem. It doesn't matter if we find cool looking rocks, seashells or coins, we know how useful they are. You know what else? We're stylish as fuck because most cargo shorts are khakis. Quit talking about cargo shorts like they're bad.
>>27911252

I meant for cargo pants.
You look like a tourist/blue collar worker if you wear cargo shorts.
Depending on who you are, the latter might not be a bad thing.
>>27913221
Except pants are hot. Temperature isn't a hot/cold switch, cargos are good most of the time.
>>27907145
This. I'm 6'3" 200lbs and like the length of cargo shorts. The pockets do have utility, especially if you have to carry small tools or items around. If I could get cargo shorts w/o pockets I would.
And fuck skin tight anything in Florida, especially during the summer. That and I don't like having my boys slammed up against my body (once again, Florida).
>>27907402
+1. Took me back.
I just wear shorts most of the time because I hate jeans. I hate the feel of denim, even well worn in denim that I had to wear for years. I'm looking for some alternative trousers, but I'm hot-natured and just prefer shorts even in the winter.
Any alternatives? I'm thinking of some kind of cotton or light wool trousers.
I can't stand wearing shorts
I wear pants, be it BDUs or levis
>>27906810

>>27906480

>>27908617
I just bought a pair of these and im loving them, its like wearing nothing at all, and the mesh pockets make it even better.
Only complaint is that they seem to be sized 4 number sizes (2 sizes) too small. My normal waist size is a 32, and I had to get like a 36 just for a decent fit.
They also had a more professional looking pair that were made of thicker material, but those again were 2 sizes too small and narrowed incredibly at the ankles, they looked like girl pants in the mirror.
I also have a pair of REI pants made out of a similar ultra light material but I found that after repeat washings it starts to feel like tent material and the color changed to a greenish hue, so I'm hoping that the columbia pants will hold up better over time.
SHOTGUN SHELLS IN RIGHT CARGO POCKET, TRAIL MIX IN LEFT CARGO POCKET, FUCKING CASUALS.
5'11 MAKES THE BEST PANTS, ALSO KNEEPAD INSERTS FOR WINTER ARE EPIC
5.11 makes good pants.
