We're trying to help jort-wearers see the error in their way and also improve the overall appearance of society.

You slaves to fashion, you. They were all that less then 5 years ago. Now you guys will throw them out rather than be caught dead in them. Sound like beeyotches to me.
Although I have to agree, there are indeed fashion faux pax dictated by the passing of time...
...and I'll admit I am more inclined to wear something like these over straight up "jorts."

I'd prefer to sit on my couch and drink beer and watch football.
I agree with this line of thinking. Sure, there are fads that are extremely outrageous. But we're talking about JEAN SHORTS. Its not a radical idea. Jeans are a classic look. Jean shorts will never die. Get over it.You slaves to fashion, you. They were all that less then 5 years ago. Now you guys will throw them out rather than be caught dead in them.

It seems to me that the older people (over 40?) on this board think jean shorts are a no no.But like I said most younger people in NY wear jean shorts. But they gotta be a little big and baggy. Tucking in your shirt is gay and above the knee is also teh gay. I suppose maybe Ill change my mind when Im not in my 20s.

Those jean shorts are light and have no pockets. I wear jean shorts that have cargo pockets. Plus no matter what that guy was wearing would look gay. The way hes standing and the tucking in the shirt is what makes him look gay.I think I'm on the right side of this debate.You slaves to fashion, you. They were all that less then 5 years ago.

Once again his shirt is tucked in and the shorts have no cargo pockets. Find me a pic where the guy's pose isnt teh gay.Anyway, arent you the heavy metal fan? Remind me not to take fashion advice from a heavy metal fan.Clayton Gray said:Better?shadyridr said:Those jean shorts are light and have no pockets. I wear jean shorts that have cargo pockets.

If they go below the knee, they're not shorts; they're capris.It seems to me that the older people (over 40?) on this board think jean shorts are a no no.

I'm thinking 92' or 93' but my recollection is a bit hazy. That was a long time ago.

You'll see it a lot in the deep south (NC, Tenn, Georgia) -- wherever there are hicks, there are jorts.

I live in NYC. And by my count yesterday more people were wearing jean shorts than not. Im starting to think this may be some kind of regional thing as well. Ive never even heard the term jorts before. Like I said everyone here wears jean shorts.

I counted when I went food shopping at the supermarket in Staten Island. So no, none of them were tourists.Were they tourists?

I think '91 and '92 to be more specific, at least in the northeast. I remember wearing them then and there is photographic evidence to prove it
but I seem to remember a pretty clear cutoff in the summer of '93. That was summer after my sr. year in h.s. and I remember jorts being "so last year" that summer.

As far as NYC goes, Staten Island is the deep South.

i can confirm that jorts are quite popular among young black men. as well as, being serious here, capri-pant-type-shorts.

I hear ya, sorry I missed the sig. I'm not even a native New Yorker and hate the assumption that Manahattan is the center of the universe and there's everything else, but you gotta admit that when most see NYC they think Manhattan. You also gotta admit that the fashion sense is slightly different across the different NYC boroughs.SI is a borough of NYC. And it also appears to the left under my username.AHA!

You clearly have no clue what you are talking about. 75% of people in Staten Island are Italian Americans from Brooklyn including me.
