unbillievable Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I'm beginning to think people that are blue collar workers or outdoors type are more apt to have and wear cargo shorts than office workers. Correction: Blue collar workers who've given up wear cargo shorts. White collar workers who like to pretend they're manly, wear cargo shorts. The rest of us think they look stupid and are pointless.

ExiledInIllinois Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Right now I am wearing a pair of convertible (zip on) cargo pants... Called into work for 12 OT... with out the extra pockets, I have nowhere to put my portable marine radio... It hides nicely in a pocket and looks stupid on a belt.

CommonCents Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Cargo shorts are fine they offer some utility for people. Skinny jeans are the devil, nothing like seeing a grown man in dick tight pants walking around like it's cool. It's not cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 If you're working as an HVAC repairman, cargo shorts are functional. Totally different argument. 90% of people are not working as the HVAC repairmen and therefore look like total morons. Just like all the people driving pickup trucks "because."

Something should be said for "utilitarianism." No? I betcha the same chick throwing away the dudes cargo shorts, drives an 4x4 and never goes off roading (except when under the sheets... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence, they gotta "have style." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 They are pretty bad. Given the cast of characters who have come out in favor of them, I'm feeling pretty good about not owning any... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 If you load up all the pockets in cargo shorts, they are pretty damn uncomfortable anyway. So, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 My wife is trying to get me to start wearing them. I said just because I'm a dad now, doesnt mean I have to start dressing like one. Plus, I dont need the extra pockets CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I'm surprised by the amount of men that care what other guys are wearing. Oh so this is why I got the PM from Beerball asking what I was wearing. Had me worried there for a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 No f@#$ing way you'd catch me in cargo shorts in out in public. However, 8 years ago, for the express purpose of attending a music festival and carrying as much beer and bottled water as possible, cargo shorts were highly convenient.

So this past weekend I went to a hot rod show in a local park. Wore the cargo shorts. You're telling me that's inappropriate for THAT environment?
