Perspective:


Above the knee. Considerably, above the knee.

Traditionally, historically tactical and totally out of fashion. Antithetical to today's baggy, waistband below the coccyx and leg hemlines so low as to be only moderately high capri - clamdigger pantaloons.

Nope ...

"The Underwater Demolition Teams (UDT) were an elite special-purpose force established by the United States Navy during World War II. Their primary function was to reconnoiter and destroy enemy defensive obstacles on beaches prior to amphibious landings and were also the frogmen who retrieved astronauts after splashdown in the Mercury through Apollo manned space flight programs. The UDTs pioneered combat swimming, closed-circuit diving, underwater demolitions, and midget submarine (dry and wet submersible) operations. They were the precursor to the present-day United States Navy SEALs. This tradition lives on in the shorts they made famous."



The statue is called the Naked Warrior because the original Navy divers in World War II were nearly defenseless, though they were always among the first to attack enemy shores.

Just above the knee for cargo shorts for me. Below the knee wear usually comes with wearing a backward mounted baseball cap. Nope for me.

One thing's for sure...I don't wear them like Para does...and neither do the Norwegian women's volleyball team. lol.

Above the knee’s !!
Below are clam diggers I wore as a kid in the 60’s.

I’ve got a cousin who is fifty five years old and he wears them right below his bag. It’s like the 1970’s all summer long with him.

Above. Anything below is to close to capris pants for my taste.

I wear Speedos. European Speedos specifically, with the extra cost Italian Stallion string-cut.

Let me know if you'd like a pic.

At first I thought you meant jockey shorts or something.
