I suspect that after wearing shorter shorts most of the time, the longer ones will feel so burdensome that they will be gone soon also!I think you are right. I got rid of all my longer ones. The longest I own are 7 but I almost never wear them. 4 and 5 inchers are almost all I wear.
Saw that you live in a relativity warm climate. How often do you wear long pants?
I bought one pair of 5" dress shorts a few months ago and found them ideal for most places,I have therefore decided that as my 8 to 10 inch dress shorts wear out, I will replace them with 5 inch shorts. I do have 2 pairs of zip off cargo pants that become about 9 inch shorts that I can wear the few places where I would not be comfortable with the shorter ones.Why wait? Ordered 3 pair of 5" dress and cargo shorts today.When they arrive, the longer ones will go!Shorts arrived yesterday.Two pair of the longer ones will go on the next trash day,While I will keep the pair that is in the best shape for a while, I suspect that after wearing shorter shorts most of the time, the longer ones will feel so burdensome that they will be gone soon also!
Two pair of longer shorts gone.
Since I bought 3, I also got rid of an old t shirt to keep my clothing count even,
I love the lining-less feel in such styles (running shorts are the only garments I've ever cut the lining from), but that does create the risk that protruding and swinging equipment daringly lifts the fabric at the leg hole while in motion. A bug or a feature? Depends!
Crossed one of the last 2 frontiers and wore 5 inch shorts to church today.
Then went out to lunch at a place that has a big band for dancing on Sunday afternoon.
My wife asked me if I was going to change into something with more coverage but I politely declined.
Last frontier is wearing short shorts when I am playing in a band concert.
