While out of fashion. Can't say there is never a use. Moreover, these articles read like the anti short crowd, cause no way in fuck is short shorts the answer.

They make actual pants for those kinds of activities. Do you wear flip flops, too?

Got flips on right now.

Now go ahead and name me another article of clothing that comes with a bottle opener. Try

No. I am an American so I do not wear shorts. Shorts are for people from weak countries.

You are not an American. Euro wannabe perhaps

I'm going to be honest with you... the things other men wear is pretty low down on my list of things to care about. Right behind "I wonder if they are having a sale on tampons at Walgreens today"

I do wear flip flops with my chinos. But I only wear crocs brand because they are so damn comfortable.

A far bigger threat than cargo shorts to the American male - Crocs
Have some self respect and get some Reefs, that way you'll always be ready to crack open a bottle of beer, unless you are to far gone and only drink pina coladas.

It's a proven fact that wearing jorts increases your likelihood of voting for Donald Trump.

Who the fuck wears cargo anything

Why the hell would you ever wear pants if the weather doesn't dictate that you have too. That's some commie shit right there. Do you always wear long sleeve shirts too?

Cargo shorts and jean shorts over here, btw. No, Cargo Jean Shorts (or is it Jean Cargo Shorts) though, that's shit's fucked up right there.

The cargo shorts crowd likes to point to the cargo jorts crowd and say cargo jorts are over the line and off limits. Well, you are already over the line and off limits with your cargo shorts. You are one with the cargo jorts crowd. You need to own it rather than create some imaginary cutoff point between cargo shorts and cargo jorts.

Don't make this thread about us, Roc.

A risky move: defender of the cargo shorts speaks out.

Now let me stop you right there, because while Bond would never wear cargo shorts, men also want to be Batman, and cargo shorts are basically another way to have as many pockets as Batman’s utility belt. SO THERE.
