Second the uniqlo selvedge stretch - been through about ten pairs now over the years. Once they begin to fray, buy some new ones and cut the old ones off. Get a tailor to fix the hems and reinforce the crotch - I go to a great but surly guy in Angel. Then you constantly have a pair of new summer shorts. Have now been locked in this rotation for about a decade..

I picked up a couple of pairs of the Uniqlo selvedge stretch ones last time they were doing them for £15 & they're great for the price, even for £35 or whatever they are now - only ever worn them for cycling to the station or whatever (20 mins tops) but they've held up pretty well, just got the crotch reinforced as they were starting to fray a bit & they look like new again
