Pondering life.

Living life.

Just like Beatle doing the jump pic just great.

Seen a few versions getting around of this old WWII Marine Corps camo over this year. It's pretty cool. They based current Australian issue Austcam pattern from it.
That fabric is fuckin rad too! Looks tough enough to take to war.

[mclaincausey]

Thanks.  I highly recommend them.  They are Real McCoys, they have two ginormous cargo pockets, so it's not the typical cargo short.  I think it's a reproduction fatigue from early Viet Nam that's been hemmed.  I love them and the herringbone fabric, the twill starts to pop a little more with some wear, the relief of the herringbone becomes more dramatic.  The reverse is a different frog skin palette like the real stuff.

Did you score those shorts on the bay, MCL?

If so, you beat me to the punch, haha.

[mclaincausey]

I did!  I think a few stockists exist. I can't recommend them enough I just love em. First time I ever wore shorts to work today, that's how much I love em

[seanocono]

That's what I get for being slow on the draw, haha. Glad they went to another forum member, though. I will definitely keep an eye out. They look sick.

[mclaincausey]

Please do, I guarantee satisfaction. These are up there with my IH wabby cut offs

@MikeC:

I'm sorry but boots with shorts is a weird look unless your hiking or doing work outdoors. That's just my opinion though, rock on.

and mine…plus you need to lose the pulled up socks! shirt+shorts are good though...

[mclaincausey]

Respectfully disagree…

Socks aren't pulled up. I guess they are in the first shot...

[Finn666]

with shorts you either have to wear no socks at all + espadrilles, shoes or boat shoes or "small" socks with sneakers and shit like that! when wearing pulled up socks with shorts (knee high), vans or chucks is the way to go imo

[mclaincausey]

There are no rules…  At least not for me.

They were pulled up in that shot cos I'd just gotten dressed, these socks sort of collapse down and stack as you can see in the Mister Freedom thread.

[Finn666]

the boots + (stacked) socks are still a no no in my book can't help it, sry!

[mclaincausey]

Yep… No need to apologize, everyone has their own sense of style.  I generally don't like boots with shorts, but I like the way I'm dressed or I wouldn't have left the house that way

Boots with military fatigue cut-offs look better than do sneakers IMO, at least with these.  I tried both.

@emceeQ:

that right there might be THE BEST fit ive seen anyone have on the devil ducks

[mclaincausey]

Love the length, a perfect break like I have on my dress pants.

[joesaintjohn]

I like this look. Traditional Bermuda shorts.

[Scottystyles]

Hahaa! That's what the Japanese wear these days! Not sure if I'd pull it off though

[Scottystyles]

Made n plaid, sippin cool aide!! Hahaa

Actually I was once interested in Harris Tweed after I started sporting some nikey ones. But that was about as far as it went..

[mclaincausey]

As mentioned, I don't really have a whole lot of guidelines when it comes to what not to wear, but that is one of them: long sleeves with shorts, especially the blazers.  "It's cold enough to cover my arms but not my legs." I remember from an early age it bothered me to see someone wearing a sweater and shorts.  Just a weird hang-up of mine that I would never try to enforce as a fashion policeman on any but myself.

I do kinda dig these guys, but I'd feel a fool if I tried to pull it off.

[joesaintjohn]

I'd look like Rodney Dangerfield in Caddy Shack.
