People are enough anti-cargo-short that people on Gawker feel writing a pro-cargo-short article is appropriately shit-stirring enough for the afternoon anger crowd.

/wears cargo shorts all the time, except when he wears cargo or carpenter pants.

WTF. Seriously. W. T. F. Does no one have anything better to be angry about?

P.S. If we want to talk about embarrassing clothing choices, how about we discuss Adidas sandals and track pants?

HOW DARE YOU USE THE UTILITY OF CARGO SHORTS TO STRENGTHEN YOUR ARGUMENT! - My interpretation of the comment section

I might have 2-3 pairs of NON-cargo shorts, but as far as I’m concerned, the invention of the cargo short was like the seat belt or smartphone. Why go backwards? This isn’t Bermuda, I’m not wearing them to work with a coat and tie.

I honestly do not think it takes much to stir shit for the internet jockeys to get riled up and pound on their keyboards so everyone can see how important their opinion is.

Those people are what we call “professional umbrage takers”, their entire existence is basically searching the internet so that they can get angry about something.

Internet is amazing and it brought so many good things, but it also brought out all the keyboard jockeys and (very vocal) people offended by everything. I don’t even visit Gizmodo, never went to Gawker and I pretty much stopped commenting on Jalopnik. Just not worth it any more.

I don’t think anybody would disagree that sandals and warmup pants are much, much worse than cargo shorts, and I say that as one of the people over on Drew’s post having a good-natured laugh at the expense of adults who dress like children.

No one has ever used the extra pockets on cargo shorts. FACT.

Cargo shorts are bad, but wearing active wear all the time is acceptable?

I’ve known about this weird hate for cargo shorts that some people have for a while now. I just don’t care. In the summer I need someplace to put various things like sunglasses and whatnot and I choose cargo shorts. When I really want to tweak people’s sensibilities I wear a Hawaiian shirt with cargo shorts. Top off with Tevas and you can make fashionistas drop dead on the spot.

I’ve been completely oblivious to cargo short hate... and I wear them regularly when it’s hot.

I like them, but I suspected they’re not the most stylish choice.

Maybe I should pick up a couple of pairs of regular shorts for the times I want to wear shorts, but want to have more style... hmmm...

Summer time is Carhartt cargo shorts and birkenstocks time. Any one who doesn't approve may feel free to not wear them.

I don’t like them because they get all wrinkled - a carpenter short with flat pockets is much more useful and doesn’t get all wrinkled the first time you wash it.

Ah but what makes it awesome? Take the bacon out and people will wonder why you’re eating a donut with a hamburger patty. Besides that, I don’t even like donuts. Might be because they’re on the bottom rung of fried confectionery...

what shorts are you buying that they wrinkle? the only cargos I had that ever even came close to “wrinkly” in the pockets after washing were the Military Surplus ones... because they have HUGE baggy pockets.

I’ve had a few... a couple from Bean, one I bought from REI, (not sure of the brand..,) one cheapo one from Target. Maybe I’m just OCD... I really like the carpenter shorts from Dickies and Carhartt, (especially the Dickies.)

The thing I don’t understand is why the cargo short is “childish”. When you’re <16 you have a wallet (maybe), a cellphone (maybe, though more probably these days) and one or two keys. You can put that in the pockets of Jeans or chino shorts. When you are an ADULT you have a wallet, (Kostanza or otherwise), car keys (usually with a bulky fob), house keys, work keys, bike keys, often a pocket knife (if you work in a manufacturing environment like me, a big one) you may have taken up smoking as a survival strategy/bad habbit, and you probably have a giant, expensive smartphone, and if you have kids it’s even WORSE!

Y’know what you need to cary all that shit? Lots of pockets.

both brands I own, and both brands that come out of the wash looking borderline pressed (though Carharts wrinkle on the hems as they get older)... so I guess I understand that. Some of Bean’s shit is just too soft and doesn’t hold it’s shape well. Surprised about the REI fail, most “hiking” shorts and zip-offs are poly or nylon blends and are very wrinkle resistant (I buy NorthFace and EMS often). Those Dickies really do stay wrinkle-free like nothing else.

I didn’t come here to fight about your pants, rather to agree that shower sandals and tracksuits are the real enemy, but I guess while I’m here I’ll note that I’ve never had any trouble fitting those various things in my pants pockets (choosing slim and efficient carry items and, admittedly, a little fewer of them for not smoking) and also that your average casual sport jacket has many pockets and is not primarily associated with 7th graders at summer camp who need pockets for arrowheads and candy bars. But far be it from me to tell you what to wear...nothing looks as good as comfortable feels.

Carpenter pants FTMFW!!!! It sucks that it is so difficult to find them nowadays. I don’t want to wear ball huggers that crush my giblets. Plus carpenter pants are awesome because I put a flashlight in the left side and pens in the right side leg pockets. Damn straight, I carry a flashlight and pens every day.
