See what digitalgravel.com has...

Maybe something from OBEY that's decent if casual is your thing?

some skateboard clothing companies have lightweaight cotton which are great for keeping your boys cool, and they are durable as well

the biggest RISK, is not taking one!

JCrew, A&F, A.P.C., Thrift store.

my top picks would be:

-cargo shorts: straight up new army surplus stuff is actually good

-loose sweat shorts: Supreme does a nice sweat short every summer, not sure about other brands...

-athletic shorts: you can get a decent pair of these lots of places. nike makes some nice ones. my fave pair are some Fourstar OG nylon shorts that i got years ago and are still going strong...they're called the 'refugee' short now for some reason tho:

go to your local suplus store, go home grab a pair of scissors... done.

thought you was the next man

The seasons BEST shorts are made by GOODENOUGH... it's just that they're $150 (he wants to spend no more than $80).

For sure Surplus is ALWAYS a good route to go though.

goodenough is one of those urahara brands right?

i dont live in japan though

i doubt ill go back to japan this summer...

i saw some dope NBHD cargo's yesterday... but they were going for over USD 200. more than i'd spend on shorts.

No Shirt. No Shoes. No Dice.

Learn it. Know it. Live it.

Go check out your local stores, you might be lucky :-)

Anyhow, I've just bought some camouflage/army knickers my self, which I really adore, and with a white belt (e.g tiger of swe/J. Lindeberg) it looks really cool! furthermore you can round it up by wearing white sneakers, but I am not aware of your style and personality but the above mentioned gear are actually what I wear in this very moment, together with a grey cardigan! :-)

I wasn't able to find any good pictures

blame my age - everyone else does!

HERPONERS:

sorry to repeatedly champion Abercrombie as I hate their branding image, but they really do have shorts on lock. solid construction, light or heavyweight ripstop, drawcords, with options of silly # of pockets or just normal. go one size smaller than you normally would b/c they run big and you may have to deal with a sewn logo patch etc. but you can razor that off if you like. they should be all over ebay, and they have both broken in kinds, raw (new), and 'destroyed' if you want to go for U.S. college boy steez.

also happy with all my Staple shorts. Ssur should be simple and solid. 555 and Obey, both shite construction, not built to last, even if its ripstop. Try Spiewak, Carhartt, J.Crew, Banana Republic, Polo Sport etc. they may top out around 79.50 US so good luck

peace

this do4sn't really touch on any of ya'lls style, but I think its kinda wild that capris are becoming some big for men in the urban genre. I'm from the philly area so I've seen the style for a while now, since stores were makings their own from leftover winter jeans and such, but now it seems like every urban brand is up on them

anyways the shorts that I liked the most were some evisu capirs, that fit more like long shorts, because I'm not a capri dude

[powerglov]

Are those 'urban' guys actually rocking capris? Like when theres a 1 inch gap between the shorts and the kicks? I always though they were just 3 sizes too big shorts saggin real low.

[jjs home]

ha

well I can't lie I buy the regular urban shorts and they prety much go down to like mid calf, but the capris folks are wearing basically touch the tongues of folks air force ones

[ChadR]

Where in philly are you? I am from Malvern/Paoli/Berwyn area. Heading down to ubiq saturday too to check out those PRPS you mentioned at Ubiq on the cheap,

[jjs home]

I'm actually from south jersey, but philly a few seconds from camden so I'm in PA plenty

if you check out south street check euro moda, fusion, and visuri, they always have something niteresting stuff, which would appeal to the wide varieties of styles on this board

check platinum too

you may know all these spots, but if not go nuts
