ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

i definitely have been seeing men's jean shorts in mainstream retailers like gap, etc this summer

they sell them already cuffed

i guess people wear them with patterned shirts buttoned to the top and invisible socks smh

quite like invisible socks

te moo

why was the parish priest buying you shorts

today I'm wearing, for the first time, some Banana Republic dark-wash jeans that I cut into shorts a week ago. I thought they looked cool in the mirror but I have felt woefully uncomfortable every since I left the house. A friend complimented my "daisy dukes" even though they're like 2 in above the knee. wtf

your friend is insecure

I wear jeans shorts and I'm definitely not a bad ass or anything.

And yeah I got them from a regular high street retailer in London which sold many pairs, so I'm with LG on this one.

i do not have a rule about jean shorts! i would just never 55 quid for a pair.

i guess that is a rule

rule 55

i've cut my jean shorts too short every time i've cut jean shorts. sometimes i can live with it but other times you just have to ditch em and move on

found these diabetes core kicks in my mom's basement

jean shorts (usually cuffed, often black) have been the summer pant of choice for every dirtbag dude in toronto and la for like half a decade? if anything i would say there were less ubiquitous in ldn the summers ive been there than in north america, but ive not spent lots of time in east ldn realness

feel like the 'trend' shorts this summer are starkly patterned (often b&w) tailored shorts and v loose 'athletic' shorts. i actually picked up a pair of these - there basically like short sweat pants - from philip lim last wknd. also seeing more early 00s referencing patchwork shorts but i think thats probably too fashion to every really catch on

fwiw personally wld not pay fifty five pounds for jorts

what wld you pay for fifty five pound jorts tho

How much were the Philip Lim sweatshorts?

my feeling is that shorts cost maybe 30 or 35 in fast fashion or whatever, so 55 for a pair in a simple style I'll wear again is a good deal. I like the sweat shorts a lot but I'd be slower to spend on something that is such a simple material, and maybe more tied to a current trend for sportswear.

I dunno tho, caveat all my posts here with the fact I am working in a ludicrous freelance job that pays me a rate I never thought I'd be able to earn in the career I do.

Who knew jort modelling could be so lucrative

make sure you're putting aside for tax. hmrc will take your jorts.

Ah yeah I am setting up a limited company at the moment, used an umbrella comp until now.

I'd like some jorts but I don't have any jeans that I think would make some good ones. and I don't have $50.

i would wear jorts but dont current own any, mostly switching btween simple aa shorts and some norse projects sweat shorts i got on sale, but i never wear shorts to the office so my shorts window per week is p small

I know, I have two pairs that I like. Which is fine until I have a 3 day weekend.

Yeah I prob will stick to one pair.

the reason jorts are cuffed is because they're meant to give the appearance of jeans that have been cut off, even if they weren't

if they're not cuffed, the hem looks kind of weird mid-leg

feel like a flaw in jorts is u wear shorts because its hot out but denim is no good in the heat

That's why they're good in the UK.

but if its not too hot then why wear shorts do people want to wear shorts

I work in a more suburban-y part of Brooklyn now which means I see a lot more mantoddlers wearing oversized shirts and dad jorts and/or over-long khaki cargo shorts (do those have a name? abomination is thy name).

Help.

i like the jorts with the raw edges and that are stringy

of course you do, that is when they are good

i can even get with cuffed shorts because as MH says it suggests they were cut off in the first place

what i cannot abide is a HEM on JORTS it is UNCONSCIONABLE. BAN this SICK FILTH. if i see with with these you cannot stay my friend anymore, i am sorry, and i will be sorry to lose you as a friend

plus like... surely the destiny of all jeans is to end up as awesomely broken-in jorts that you get FOR FREE

I cringed really hard seeing that image Tracer just linked

they are skinny fit jorts

who cares if they have a hem, who can even look at them long enough to notice?

I've never worn jorts in my life to be honest, I was just trying to boost this thread's numbers

high thread count jorts for the discriminating male

hell yea

pls nobody get me started on cargos again

feel like our long national cargomare is finally over

cargos are alive and well in many places throughout the US

I still have cargos, but they are my backup shorts.

i dont think they will ever truly die but they have been knocked back to the point where theyre manageable

like the pants are rare these days its mostly only shorts

my god if i saw the pants...
