Trucker-shorts! (shorter than Bermudas)

So, the final question:

What are the original "trucker-shorts"? Were they selfmade cut-offs? Did they ever exist?

Or are the "UPS"-shorts the original thing??

Never base anything in your wardrobe on something worn by Paul Blart, mall cop!

When I was in southern Germany for a couple of years in the late 60s, it was nothing to see men wearing leather shorts. But it was usually like on a Saturday morning at home. They always looked ancient--the shorts, that is.

Those look like Daisy Dukes to me!
My dad used to wear them just like yours Ton, he cut them so short you could see the bottom of the pockets. Even as a kid I recognized that as a fashion faux pas.
Now I know you're a sensitive guy, you had to skip breakfast and lunch with the minimalist leather so perhaps you should look away now.

In Brit-speak the crude definition of a mistake is a cock-up. So those shorts are spectacular COCK-UPS.

This is fast becoming my favorite thread for literally all the wrong reasons. Can't say we don't have a good sense of humor over here in the outerwear section.
That's a whole lot of partying at the back!

....I hope everyone gets that I'm referring to his mullet and not his...er...nevermind ...you guys get it [emoji23]
I just can't believe this guy is not sporting a fanny pack! How do you have that mullet and not one of these:

I was a sensitive guy a couple days ago but these recent forum posts are definitely toughening me up a bit!

...Some minutes ago, I finally grabbed my most worn out jeans, a classic black Wrangler regular-fit, took my old sharp scissors and "woohoo"! :D
Life's good...

Umm...it's hot where I live. I wear shorts everyday--almost. But, Those!
Yeah, sorry, those are way too short and way too tight for a man, in my opinion. And I don't understand the belt.

I'm more like...
