I always hated that, which is why giving cargoes up was so easy for me. I rarely used all those pockets.
OT: Cargo Shorts...

You don't have enough interests.
Hiking-
1. Phone in one pocket.
2. Keys in another pocket
3. Map in another pocket
4. snack in another pocket
5. Tissues in another pocket
Fishing:
1. Phone in one pocket.
2. Keys in another pocket
3. Fishing pliers in another pocket
4. snack in another pocket
5. Tissues in another pocket
6. Fishing lures in another pocket.
Cargo shorts are also looser fitting that those pink things someone posted. Its nice to allow airflow on hot summer days.
I'm strictly a backpack man when I hike, and fit all that and more in there. Also, the phone is a map these days with the REI app.
I can see the point more with fishing, which I wish I did more often. That may remain a cargo-worthy endeavor.
A lot of places we hike loses GPS signal on the phone. Lost my handheld Garmin GPS, which went in another pocket.
What if you wear one of those camelback water supply things on your back?

The problem is that fashion is changing to something less practical, less useful...... You buy the latest thing and you give up something because of it..... I guess older dudes are less willing to do so.
Not sure how your legs work but mine work like a pendulum. The degree of movement at the top is nowhere near what it is down at the middle.
Why do you need so many tissues? Are you crying because your clothes are out of fashion?
You know there is a whole range between "empty" and "stuffed". I might put one or two things in a pocket, and they are far from stuffed. However, if I put everything I carry in cargo shorts into the waist pockets of regular shorts, those pockets would be stuffed.
Nah. Actually, it's tissues, band-aids, etc. when we are doing a lot of rock climbing and going through brush, we can get cuts, etc. Manly stuff, you know, not the type of stuff done in pink shorts.
I was in Maine last month, and we made the almost obligatory stop at the L.L. Bean outlet, where I did see a pair of pink (or, if you prefer, salmon) cargo shorts. Smart of them, splitting the difference.
sadly i am seeing a trend on the beaches towards mens bathing suits that are not as low on the leg as they should be. Think 80's OP shorts. Fashion be damned, I like my cargo shorts and I like my bathing suit down around the knee even though I do have nice legs.
I loved my OP's back in the day.
Nice to see the Wall Street Journal addressing such hard hitting subjects as this.
A good Hawaiian shirt will make your shorts pretty much invisible.
You are a Rutgers fan and you want to make a fashion statement,try these--http://sportsfanshop.jcpenney.com/J...ights_Insider_All_Over_Print_Knit_Pants_–_Red
There are more fashionable cargos. There is nothing wrong with them. I like them for football games actually for the extra pockets.
As long as you vary it up I don't see the issue.
People hated on jorts and they've come back in (though much shorter than before).

LOL laugh if you will but that is the main reason a lot of dudes don't wear shorts. Ankles the size of fingers.
Mildone,
Here is a ton of Rutgers gear for girls/women--http://rutgers.bncollege.com/webapp...=10001&langId=-1&storeId=58552&topCatId=40000

I need cargo shorts so I have pockets in which to store my little black book with the phone numbers of my favorite hookers. And to carry a couple baggies of blow.
One of my favorite things to do is go food shopping mid-winter wearing patterned cargo shorts, side pockets bulging, along with black Teva sandals and hot pink socks. The shirt is completely irrelevant.
Chicks totally adore this look and it has landed me many a phone number (all of which I immediately throw away, naturally, because they aren't hookers).

Right:
I bought a yellow shirt with blue marlins on it and it came with a matching bathing suit. I looked like a giant 4 year old when I wore them together at the pool. @MrsScrew
I wear shorts pretty much year round, unless its below freezing and I'm going to be outside for long portions of the day
who didn't!?!?!?!
Very true. I always hated cargo shorts, but ended up getting some because they're just easier to find than a good, comfortable pair of non-cargo khaki/twill shorts. Still don't like the look or bulkiness of most of them, but the pockets definitely come in handy for things like hiking and going to events where you have a lot of crap to take.
Those kind of shorts are nice, but f Arc'teryx and their overpriced crap. $129 for shorts I'm going to hike through mud and dirt in? No.
Me too. Although at some point in winter, I transition to wearing Adidas warmup pants most of the time. With socks and sandals.
I just roll with whatever I have on. I don't care (could care less?) about what anybody thinks.
I don't have a lot of expertise with your type of lifestyle. But why would you pay for hookers when you were getting phone numbers for free?
Nothing wrong with being an intelligent individual and recognizing that "fashion" is just a marketing tool to sell you new clothes you don't need. Be a man, find what works and stick with it.
A few years back, flannel shirts were a woefully outdated 90s throwback. Now they're all the rage again thanks to the oddball trend of lumbersexual hipsters and urbanites who've never been to the forest. You know what? I always liked flannels because they're warm and comfortable and because I watched my dad wear them my entire childhood. And I'm going to keep liking flannels when they go out of style again (maybe they already have, still waiting on my "trends" guide to arrive in the mail for the fall/winter season) and then when they inevitably come back. Fashion is for rubes.
What price, freedom? Don't want to get tied down (w/hookers that's extra, but temporary).
I also don't have a lot of expertise with my stated type of lifestyle. I've never actually been w/a hooker and I mostly avoid recreational drugs.
