@ohgeez I bought a set of these off of Side Save or Morning Deal and based on the size chart I went with the size smaller than it said I should wear. They fit me perfectly.
@ohgeez@yakkoTDI
Well damn. I just ordered my regular size, so hopefully I’m not going to start an ass hanging out trend, to paraphrase a certain other t-shirt site.
@ohgeez, I’m not sure bout the Modern Fit Crap, but someone mentioned short shorts; these are long enough I can wear them as trousers!! I’m a little stick of dynamite!
@ohgeez@yakkoTDI, Well, if I did that [went with a size smaller] I would have to buy a toddler, I mean, a children’s size! And, yes, I have tiny fn hands [like Cheato], but that’s why I have a Vette!!
“Wicking” means “not absorbent” in every case. Gross. Avoid. Unless you are a professional cyclist or soccer player who expects to be fully saturated by sweat and you need your socks to act as a capillary pump to squish the pooling liquid out of your shoes as you walk or run, the marketing claim of “wicking” should be a flag that you’re going to need extra bleach and double the deodorant.

Who wears short shorts?
@yakkoTDI
@yakkoTDI Are these all the same brand as the one version sold here or are they all different?
Side patch? How about SOUL PATCH??

@stinks Powerthirst! One of the best thongs about the old internet.
@stinks @yakkoTDI Thongs? Was that intentional, or a Freudian slip?
@ircon96 @stinks Nothing Freudian about it. Just a case of not paying attention to which key I was fat fingering.

@MarkDaSpark I fought the Duck for so long I actually just type in ducking these days. I did stop using citag except amongst a few select friends.
@yakkoTDI
LOL, you know you’re old when you have to look up “citag” on Urban Dictionary!
Barely related, but
@MarkDaSpark @yakkoTDI, Ha, Ha, Ha,…I’m Mr. Clint Eastwood old, I just don’t as bad!!
@ least, I hope to GodI don’t!! 
@MarkDaSpark @yakkoTDI, I meant to say, “i just don’t Look as bad”!! My Bad!!
@1DisabledWarVet @yakkoTDI
What are the waist sizes in actual inches? And what does “modern-fit design” mean?
@ohgeez Tight and ill-fitting.

@guyfromhawthorn @ohgeez @, All ya gotta do is gain 15-20 Lbs!!
One way to do that is to drink about 3 cases of beer! 
Designer shorts? Well, in an infinite multiverse, it had to happen.
Do these have a back pocket? What is the inseam length?
@chaddabbs2014 No ass pocket but the length is in the size chart on this page.
@yakkoTDI
Thank you for the link. That truly helped me decide which size to order for my hubs.
@Gamblam I have bad news. Hubs do not require shorts. Niether hubcaps, nor network hubs.
@Gamblam @lwheatcraft I mean, nobody requires shorts…
And here I was saying I need to buy more shorts. Perfect timing.

Who wants a moist wick?
@ircon96 There’s that “m” word that creeps people out here.
@ircon96 Better than waking up to a John Wick.
@ircon96 @yakkoTDI As a straight guy, I’d still take my chances.
@detailer Mwa ha ha…you’re welcome! [Mission accomplished

@yakkoTDI Depends on whether you mess with his dog or something. Me, I love animals…waking up to John Wick would just be a bonus! Hubba hubba.

@blaadnort sounds like your co-workers would benefit from a morning shower more than anything else
@blaadnort @Seeds That sounds nice!
@blaadnort Don’t beat around the bush; tell us how you really feel.
@blaadnort So you’re saying they could gag a maggot or knock a buzzard off a gut wagon?
@blaadnort I thought dead bodies went in @yakkoTDI 's trunk, not peat bogs.
I just wanna know do they have built in briefs?
@ChrisArgyle No but for a small fee I can make you something out of the excess clothing in my trunk.
@ChrisArgyle @yakkoTDI Yeah…the fishnet stockings…excellent choice
@detailer @yakkoTDI sounds great! in for 15
@ChrisArgyle @detailer Excellent! How do you feel about stains?
@detailer @yakkoTDI I really prefer the look of pickling but I’m cool with traditional ones like evony
9.5" I seam? That’s too long for me. I’m hesitant even at 7" but sold at 5".

Do these shorts have a drawstring or just elasticized waistband?
@rzrbk They have drawstrings to assist the elastic waistband.

Sizes run really small (XXL = 38 - 40" waist)…caveat emptor

Are the pockets deep enough to securely hold larger sized phones.
@Chickenbox Nope! That is my one big complaint about mine.
@Chickenbox @yakkoTDI handy tip: you phone should not be larger than anything else in your shorts.
Moisture wicking… in my shorts…hmmm… guess I am getting to the age where that’s a need
The 100% Polyester makes me sweat like I’m guilty of sompin, so for that reason I’m out,…oh, & I prefer 100% Cotton & deep wide back pockets!!
I really hope these don’t have tiny pockets. The kind all yer stuff falls out of. Guess I’ll know soon enough.
Meh.
Only received 4 pair when I should have gotten 5!!
These are shipping from New Jersey?? Should I be concerned?
Mine order states that they are still processing. Haven’t shipped as of today’s date.
These are nice for the price. Ordered 2 packs, only got 1 ☹ but Meh issued credit for the missing pack right away. Thanks Caitlin
My pack had 4 Two Tone pairs and one Side Patch pair. I don’t really care, but it’s kind of odd.
Not happy with the quality. Super cheap. Two have already split in the middle seam. Would not buy again.
