Trucker-shorts! (shorter than Bermudas)

Anyone ever opened a thread around here and wished they hadn't.

Not much traction for the op on this thread other than the usual banter one would expect. Best response was by @ProteinNerd.

His was the most visually appealing but I think @Superfluous summed up the conjured collective emotion man jorts evoke.

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!

Every summer you'd see German guys wandering around town wearing short (and I mean short!!) swimming pants, t- shirts and flip flops.

You forgot the cheap tanktops.

Just back from Cyprus...wore Speedo shorts (short), sandals, Stetson flat cap & Ray Ban Wayfarers...luckily no-one over there knows me

One of the few threads I can think of where fit pics are actually to be avoided.

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.

No I think you need to finish explaining that

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.

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

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.

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"!
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...

If they are for your lady friend, then yes.

If they are for you, then no.

Oh no man they're still all good. Especially for the uninhibited.
