Why?

Didn't that trend go under about 6 years ago?

Don't think anyone wears anymore. I never had any.

been around a long time...



[h=2]History[edit][/h]Battle Dress were first worn by members of the British Armed Forces in 1938, and were introduced to the United States in the mid-1940s during World War II. The large pockets characteristic of cargo pants were originally designed for British forces to hold Field dressing (bandage) and maps and other items. The concept was copied in the U.S. Paratrooper uniform to allow more room to hold K rations and extra ammunition.[SUP][2][/SUP]

I must be a stooge because I love them. Especially in Vegas. Plenty of pockets for chips, wallet, smokes and cell phone.

Fond du Lac.... the hotbed of mid western fashion.

I agree that they don't look the best. But when I hit 40 I started caring more about function and less about fashion.

Now if I can just figure out how to get my first Royal...

I still wear them quite often. I just cannot get with the flat front shirts that are "in" at the moment. Guess I prefer the sloppy look. :shrug:

Cargo shorts aren't that horrible. What makes me shake my head and say no way is jean shorts.
And it seems every middle aged male in the upper Midwest owns a pair--
And wears them with white calf length athletic socks and new balance running shoes.
No, just no. :facepalm:

Sounds like the OP :shrug:

Yyz posting a thread about attire is pretty funny to me.


PS I don't mind cargo shorts.
