You could just buy a bunch of 5-11 shorts, then have them hemmed at a local tailor. Probably $20 a pair and you can get them exactly the length you want. The “lol” thread | |||

Why pay a tailor? Judging by the fact that you want a knife pocket, I assume you own a knife... That means you're 30 seconds away from a custom shorty-short inseam. | |||

OK...some of the foregoing is gonna make me wash my eyes out with bleach. Barring that, I have found that buying shorts for tennis is a bitch unless you want to spend $50+ on some woke brand name. No thank you...not me!! The "standard" 9" inseam is too long...just give me a decent 7-8" short that fits well for $25 or less. IDGAS what brand it is... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

I think you and I bought the same Vertx sellout. LA Police Gear had them for cheap, I thought it was like 8 bucks a pair. I bought a dozen or so in various colors. I still have a stack in my closet in the wrapper. Great pants but I need to drop a little weight to wear them so brand new they shall stay. lol Funny you say that about tennis shorts. I literally have played in basketball shorts with pockets since high school (4 decades ago). I still do. The length has never bothered me in the slightest. I haven't paid for "real" tennis shorts ever in my memory. It fits my tennis grey man persona perfectly. | |||

You guys weren't around in the '70s when we wore gym shorts and cut offs that short. Only old geezers and squares wore long, Bermuda shorts. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

You a likely quite right on price. I just remember they were silly cheap and I bought 10 pair. I still have 3 in the plastic myself. Maybe we need to have a slim and trim competition to see who can fit in them again first!
How are the pockets I have a Kuhl jacket I got for stupid cheap $15 instead of $150. I think a few others here got the same deal and others got their orders cancelled. While it is a great jacket I almost never wear it because my hands are what bigger than the pockets. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have. I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand. You should know I'll be there for you! | |||

I got one of those jackets too and the pockets are ridiculous! But the shorts have normal sized pockets. | |||

Go to Academy Sports. Their house brand is BCG and I have 4 pairs of their shorts with a 5" inseam and liner. Very comfortable. I paid around $20/pair. I like a short inseam, it's just more comfortable. If I wanted a long inseam, I'll just wear pants. _____________ | |||
