Jul 22, 2020Some of my gym shorts are wearing out so I ordered 2 new pair yesterday.
Since our grandson is here more and I am going less places that expect better dress, my gym shorts have seen a lot of use lately
My current supply has inseams in the 8" (20 cm) range, well above the knee but not really short.
Wanted to try something shorter so I ordered one pair with a 4" inseam and one with 5".
Will be fine at home, but don't know how it will work when I eventually get back to the gym. One of the reviewers called them the ideal work at home uniform. I suspect most of us would disagree and say that the ideal at home work uniform is nothing at all!

- TDTom DOriginal PosterMar 5, 2024[quote]Showing a lot of wear isn't enough of a reason to begin getting drastic with a well-worn friend like a pair of favored jeans. I say wear them until there ARE holes and then begin to consider what to do. Jeans, especially Levis, are awfully expensive to begin considering taking a pair of scissors to when there's still life in them. It could be called cheap but I prefer the term frugal. I know - I'm a nudist making my clothing item into a trusted friend. I've got jeans so old and re-sown and safety-pinned that they need a PG13 rating when I wear them out shopping! Levis aren't as bad as some makers, but how come the first seams to blow out are always at the crotch??Look at all the young kids paying big money for brand-spanking new jeans that've been mechanically-shredded to look worn out, with holes in places that make little or no sense, and knees so frayed that it make the wearer look like they really spend an inordinate amount of time on their knees - doing what I can only fantasize about....It's Sunday - maybe they're holy enough to wear to Church?!?! But not to our church - clothing is purely optional. You're always a little closer to God with nothing on. Good thoughts. Maybe I will try to get one more winter out of them. I never wear jeans in May though September and only wear long pants where they are required. Always wear shorts to church in those months. I generally buy Wranglers. Cost less than Levi's, last longer and more comfortable.[/quote] Both pair of jeans have developed holes over the winter. They will go when the weather is reliably warm and not replaced before fall.ReactReply

They will be replaced with 3" gym shorts when I get home. If I am comfortable wearing them, the rest of my gym shorts will be replaced or cut shortly thereafter.ReactReply

Mike but also go by Koch (coach)Mar 17, 2024[quote]The gym shorts that I wear have a 2" inseam. I only wear them at the gym.

I am not that large down there and still have to be careful with 3" inseam shorts.ReactReply

Buying a pair of see through shorts to collect the mail isnt weird enough for some people, you want to make it even weirder buy asking how short the see through shorts are.

Ride well below the waist. Very thin material. No drawstring or pockets. Not sure how many places I will be comfortable wearing them.ReactReply

- TDTom DOriginal PosterApr 12, 2024[quote]Can we have a look minimalist? Per your request[/quote] Now that you have seen them, should I wear them? (my thoughts): Coverup at home (yes) Front yard work (yes) Walking around neighborhood or trails (probably, if men wear shorts like that for running why not for walking) Errands (probably not) Meetings band rehearsals, etc. (definitely not). You thoughts?ReactReply

Please askApr 12, 2024[quote]Now that you have seen them, should I wear them?[/quote] Yes, agree with your assessment. In those same situations, I wear shorts trhat effectively have no inseam - the gusset is sewn together and they are long enough to cover everything - when walking (in populated areas) or hiking (in the woods). That is to say, if i weant something shorter than my kilt.ReactReply - ST
SteveApr 13, 2024Fine by me, per your list. I've worn mine for quick shopping errands but the lack of pockets is more of a compromise that the length!

ReactReply - TDTom DOriginal PosterJun 6, 2024[quote]I prefer the shorts back in the 70's. My favorite is cut off 501s. Never worn short to my knees. Both of my pairs of jeans are showing a lot of wear but don't have any holes in them. I will probably want to buy new ones in the fall. Should I: Cut them to about 5" inseam and have 2 more pairs of shorts for general summer use? Cut them really short and open the side seams and just wear them at home when I can't be nude? Toss them and have 2 fewer items of clothing?[/quote] On the suggestion of several people, I wore them for one more season. Now they do have a few holes so I am not going to wear them next winter, None of the holes are in a particularly revealing place. Any suggestions of which of the three options I should take?ReactReply

Cool Nude DudeJun 9, 2024Agreed. 5" shorts are the best of both worlds.
