Patagonia 5" Stand Up Shorts. Broken in. Perfect.
If you're not a fan of The Hemingway Baby Shoes(TM) style review, read on below.
Stand Up Shorts got their name because the cotton canvas used was so heavyweight you could actually make the shorts stand up. Not legend. fact. Try it. I have. Don't forget to button the waist.
10 oz organic cotton. Double fabric seat forms large back pockets. Velcro back pocket. Metal button closure and zipper. 5" inseam.
Trends be dammed. Shorts are supposed to be just that. Short.
I'm talking 5" inseam or less. I'm too old and life is too short to care what anyone thinks (except for you Babe).
These are perfect shorts. It is society that is imperfect in not allowing you to wear them until they fall off your body with only a metal button and zipper to remember them by. They get better with age. The organic cotton burnishes, fades, and frays, describing a life well lived. Denim fanatics have nothing on stand up shorts.
A famous guy with a neck beard once said "beware of enterprises requiring new clothes" (No, not Chouinard). If you only own one pair of shorts, these should be it.
Perfect.
