Mine have been relegated to the bottom of the drawer. Might have come in handy for the Phish show on Saturday. -- nm - znufrii Aug 17, 12:53
I have cargo shorts on right now. - Beryllium Aug 17, 12:51
they are the uniform for boomers, like everyone wears them at music festivals (blues, jazz, you know old farts stuff) -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 17, 12:49 2
- Gen X, as well. I still wear them on occasion. -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 13:48
- They're incredibly functional even at young people festivals like Coachella 8-P -- nm - JD Aug 17, 13:03
I have cargo shorts on now. They are my "house and garden" shorts and don't often go anywhere in them. They are a little torn. - zunk xometimes Aug 17, 12:39
I wear them all the time and don’t feel ridiculous. -- nm - spamlet Aug 17, 12:35 14
- Word. -- nm - Dean Winchester Aug 17, 13:19

  - NONE OF US ARE UNDER 40 -- nm - groiny Aug 17, 13:55 1
    - Wear what you like. I was just saying that young people don't wear them today. People over 40 do. -- nm - Krusty Aug 17, 14:20
  - They're comfy and carry all my wife's crap. Youngins can come at me. -- nm - spamlet Aug 17, 13:07 3
    - They won't so they don't get hit with your cane. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 17, 13:34 2

  - I'm under 40. - Beryllium Aug 17, 12:55 1
    - You can bring it back! There's still time. -- nm - Krusty Aug 17, 12:59
- I love them, but I get multiple comments, if I wear them. TSA security called me out, one time, as well. Social distain equivalent to socks+sandals -- nm - Flavorize Aug 17, 12:42 3
  - Dude, that was because of all the knives (and lint) you had in the pockets. -- nm - Spawn Aug 17, 13:50
  - They're just not in fashion at the moment but I can't believe people would comment on what other people are wearing if it's not offensive. - Krusty Aug 17, 12:58
  - Which go great with cargo shorts. - Beryllium Aug 17, 12:52
I wore them often but not in many years. -- nm - Krusty Aug 17, 12:30
Heh, that reminds me of this tweet from the other day. -- (link) - mara Aug 17, 12:27 1
- Love it! -- nm - Flavorize Aug 17, 12:42
