and way too tight for a man, in my opinion.

Just an optical thing on the photo. It's an old classic, very convenient regular-fit jeans, not slim-fit and now very breathy, but not too short. And the belt does its classic job, like always.

On the german bicycle roads, no one is really interested on what kind of trousers someone is wearing. Just enjoy the ride. Life's good!

When it comes to short shorts, nobody appreciates them like the Simpsons:

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.

Sounds like Lederhosen.

I just can't believe this guy is not sporting a fanny pack! How do you have that mullet and not one of these:

In the UK, they're called a bum bag (fanny having altogether a different meaning here), but they're still worn round the front.

But, I never understood the sense of these typical touristy belly-bags. So, I never saw the need to buy one.

Can someone explain, why they are popular? Predecessor of cargo-trousers?

Well, for the same reason people wear birkenstocks - comfort. You can carry all your stuff in it instead of messing around with pockets, wallets, etc.

They first came around for hiking, fishing, camping and other outdoor activities. I bought one many years ago with a water bottle attached to the butt bag. It was made by L.L. Bean. Still have it somewhere. If you were hiking, and didn't need a backpack, you could keep your stuff in it easy to reach. It was worn on the back, out of the way. I think it crossed over to tourists in the 70s /80s. Again, a handy little pack to keep essentials in it, but I think most tourists wear it on their fronts to stop pickpockets. The ones nowadays are mostly nasty cheap nylon bags.

It's not like this thread could've had any other kind of potential. Ever.

Today I thought of wearing my caterpillar shorts. Then somebody told me why they were called caterpillar.
