Ugh, I was hoping you meant paneled shorts - lol. I think cargo shorts make you look like a lumpy pear. I only have one pair that I use for hiking (where they actually serve a utilitarian purpose - who needs all that storage on a regular day?!?). Outside of the woods its strictly non cargo and above the knee!

Ah, the early 80s and preppy. I can remember going to tacky-outfit parties wearing a madras shirt, madras tie, madras slacks, madras belt and madras blazer. No socks with my topsiders, of course. Yes, I owned all of those articles of clothing, plus madras short-sleeved shirts and madras shorts.

I'll admit it -- I find cargo shorts more comfortable than regular khaki shorts. Granted, part of that is because they're great for hiking, camping or working (like yard or around-the-house work). But part of it is they're just more comfortable to me.

Allow me to clarify since I'm confused about the term four panel, no one wears that style of shorts no matter the colors involved.
No, I don't know any younger guys who wear shorts above the knee, not counting uniform shorts at the Catholic school. Cargo or long shorts are all I see. I actually adjusted the age down to consider that I don't see as many 30-40 year old guys who aren't parole agents these days. (My dad wears shorts that length, he's older.)

Now, does that really mean 'no one' does? *shrug* But I don't see a lot of guys' knees. Maybe all the above-the-knee shorts guys hang out somewhere else.

Maybe you Chicago people are ahead of us.

So you're Alumiyum or you're just attention starved? Either way, if it weren't so easy I wouldn't bother.

Hey, I don't get it either, just reporting on what I see
