Getting to that time of year where I wear shorts most of the time for commuting and then continuing to wear in the workshop.
All mine are worn out and I'm a bit stuck as to where to look.
Back in the old days I'd go to a shop to try things on, feel the fabric and stitching etc.
Usually I'd buy sturdier 8quid Primark jobs to ruin at work and then something a bit nicer for other occasions.
However that isn't going to work currently so as the daft title suggests I'm looking for shorts.
Chino shorts, cotton shorts whatever you want to call them. Classic shorts really.
I'd like heavy cotton with good stiching in black or dark colours.
Above the knee (but not mid thigh) in a looser fit.
Can anyone point me to shorts they like and experiences of them.
I'm looking at various price points, but as my ability to pay the rent has been rather curtailed I'd rather not blow the weeks food budget on a pair.
Cheers
Thomas
