I wear both Cargo Shorts and Cargo Pants.

I carry a Wallet, Change, Sunglasses, Reading Glasses, Cell Phone, Headphones, Breath Mints, Chap Stick, Condoms, Tactical Folding Knife, Occasionally a Firearm and spare Mag, etc...and I’m not about to carry a “man purse”.

Fanny packs are way out of style and look ridiculous.

Winter time is easier as I can put some of my essentials in my coat pocket, but during shirts and shorts weather, Cargo Shorts are a necessity.

Add “Keys” to the above list. Where else am I suppose to carry all that stuff?

Desperado by Alice Cooper.

His tribute to his drinking buddy, Jim Morrison.

And I believe you.

Really.

:]

The old uniform would make the Village People proud.

I agree with all you stated in your post! Those old short shorts were extremely gay!

I have been an Alice Cooper listener since about 1971. Where did you hear that that song was connnected to Morrison? Seems to me it was a straight on lyrical tribute to old west gunfighters.

Pretty cheeky of the writer—considering he posed for his column pic with a collared shirt and brown tee.

Oh, and what’s with the part straight down the middle of his head?

He mentions it quite often in interviews.

He used to sleep it off under Morrison’s sofa.

Jim was part of the Hollywood Vampires.

Cargo shorts have nothing to do with basketball trunks except both longer since Jerry West days

I confess

My working day uniform baring bank summons before the tribunals is khaki or brown cargo shorts

Abercrombie ....old 90s....or Sams or Polo or Carhartt

And either a polo knit or carhartt tee

And flip flops...teva or reef

Heel splitters..lol

Winter is Carhartt lined jeans since I’m outside a lot and Patagonia pile or north face....and desert boots...chukkas or crocs

I got decent lucky jeans for dinner with Wifey and some decent western shirts...

Two suits for death or Mortons/the Palm once a year

Hunting clothes

That’s it....pretty simple compared to her closet

One splurge....a pair of Crockett and Jones dark brown suede wingtips

Did not know that. Thanks.

AC was so very connected to the greats of that time, so I am not surprised. Wouldn't you love to hear what he discussed with Zappa in the late '60's?

“They” have it all wrong.

The man makes the clothes.

You could wear pink silk chiffon like a boss.

Catch some of his interviews.

He tells.

In fact, he never shuts up.

:D

Enjoy this...it’s hilarious and delightfully disturbing.

You sound just like my husband...he fills up every pocket of those shorts with something, I swear!

However, when he has excess equipment (going to a gun show with possible “trade” parts for example), he carries a WWII Musette Bag....the ultimate “manly” man purse...LOL!

Obama is a liberal p@ssy who wears womens’ underwear under his cargo shorts. Why is he in this thread?

The writer, Jim Shea can be pretty funny. Most of the rest of his paper [HC] is garbage. Good to get a chuckle once in a while for my nickel.

Shea is a flaming LIEberal. But his observations on pop culture, I can stomach.

“I wear lace...and I...wear black leather....” [name that tune]

Didn't remember the title, but it was from Alice Cooper.
