brrtHigh quality shorts
Lol, was totally thinking shorting stocks for some reason. But you mean shorts as in pantaloons.
I have no recommendations as I’m across the pond
Is Pantaloon a real word? sounds like the Spanish one for trousers (pantalon)
The D Quuuuuillhere in the United States it generally means your underpants, but a lot of people in the northern appalachians will call any pants pantaloons
It’s real yes. Old timey word that I like using every now and then for fun :)
I was originally introduced to he word because of the Simpsons when Bart said 'must drop pantaloons '. I think Lisa was a witch or something. Can’t remember exactly.
LanskeIf you like outdoor clothing i can recommend Fjallraven, however i am not sure what sort of shorts you are looking for
Fwiw, I believe they manufacture their stuff in China these days.
I believe you are right, however they are comitted to being sustainable.

malwiederAny experience on long-term durability? I’ve read quite a few negative comments online about their durability.
I’ve had my Fjällräven backpack for 8 years with more or less daily use for a large part of that lifespan. It could do with some minor repair, but it’s largely still going strong without any maintenance
Thanks for your input. I’m probably just gonna give it a try, digging a bit deeper I found a couple reviews saying durability is pretty bad and others saying it’s pretty great.
I have been using my fjallraven gear (pants, shorts, fleeces) for many years and they absolutely keep well. Use them hard on holidays in the scottish highlands and normallly during the year. If that makes sense
I have a pair of their normal length pants and they are probably on their 7th year. No repairs needed yet, even with around 3 wears a week. These are heavier duty than some of their other models.
I had a pair of lighter summer pants that only lasted a few years before the zipper became a problem.
Engelbert Strauss has great pants, they are specialised for work clothes but they have a lot of options.
Love the Shorts and pants by Reell
I‘m a cargo pants and shorts guy and can attest them a lifetime of many years. Wearing mine for at least five years now.
late_nightAlso Varusteleka has some nice shorts. Pockets in the right places, comfy.
Hansen Garments are a bit upscale but their stuff is insanely well made and good looking.
You’d probably have to look at workwear to find something comparable to dickies, as dickies used to be workwear. But I feel you, I love my dickies shorts too and hope they last forever as I’m not going to buy new ones.
The athletic/weightlifting style shorts from decathlon are peak. Lightweight and stretchy where you need it.
I’ve had dickies but after decathlon I can’t go back. Sure maybe they won’t last 15 years but 3 seems reasonable for a nearly every day wear for me. And they’re still going.
You didn’t say cheap just highlights quality, so merz b schwanen and sunspel are both made in Europe and both very high quality.
Goldholz Tom Tailor!
Might not be the cheapest but daaamn they are comfortable and durable!
I bought linen shorts recently from la Gentle Factory
They are all made in France, even the fabric is made in France in most cases.
Looks good, but do they ship to eu? Looks very french only :(
From their FAQs: The delivery area is limited to Belgium and mainland France, including Corsica.
I have been quite happy with the majority of Asket’s clothes. I originally found them when looking for more environmentally friendly options.
