i always go commando when i wear shorts and have found a few pair of gray (my favorite) and tan cotton shorts with small inseams they were all we wore back in the day but now days they think men need to wear shorts to they're knees or below meanwhile women shorts are pretty much at they're crotch. whenever i find the shorts i like if they fit i buy the whole batch .
I prefer the shorts back in the 70's. My favorite is cut off 501s. Never worn short to my knees.
Both of my pairs of jeans are showing a lot of wear but don't have any holes in them.
I will probably want to buy new ones in the fall.
Should I:
Cut them to about 5" inseam and have 2 more pairs of shorts for general summer use?
Cut them really short and open the side seams and just wear them at home when I can't be nude?
Toss them and have 2 fewer items of clothing?
Showing a lot of wear isn't enough of a reason to begin getting drastic with a well-worn friend like a pair of favored jeans. I say wear them until there ARE holes and then begin to consider what to do. Jeans, especially Levis, are awfully expensive to begin considering taking a pair of scissors to when there's still life in them. It could be called cheap but I prefer the term frugal. I know - I'm a nudist making my clothing item into a trusted friend. I've got jeans so old and re-sown and safety-pinned that they need a PG13 rating when I wear them out shopping! Levis aren't as bad as some makers, but how come the first seams to blow out are always at the crotch??
Look at all the young kids paying big money for brand-spanking new jeans that've been mechanically-shredded to look worn out, with holes in places that make little or no sense, and knees so frayed that it make the wearer look like they really spend an inordinate amount of time on their knees - doing what I can only fantasize about....
It's Sunday - maybe they're holy enough to wear to Church?!?! But not to our church - clothing is purely optional. You're always a little closer to God with nothing on.

Good thoughts. Maybe I will try to get one more winter out of them. I never wear jeans in May though September and only wear long pants where they are required. Always wear shorts to church in those months.
I generally buy Wranglers. Cost less than Levi's, last longer and more comfortable.

Somewhat off topic, but I often do private devotional practice at home nude, and watched church services nude when churches were closed during covid. Never been to an in person serive nude, Maybe I should add that to my bucket list, but the nearest one I know of is 6 hours away.
On the subject of how to dress for church, I have been a catholic all my life and the expected dress for church has gotten a lot more casual over the years. When we first moved here, my wife went to a conservative Baptist church and she would make negative comments about how casually I dressed for church. About 10 years, she switched to Calvary Chapel, which was founded by Christian hippies in California in the 60s.
I haven't changed how I dress for church, but now I can make negative comments about how casual people dress at her church!
Staying off topic briefly, one of our youngest members has been taking piano/organ lessons from my mom-in-law for a couple of years and had her first recital after church yesterday. It was a lovely day and our usual dozen or fifteen-large congregation blossomed to probably forty or more, showing support for her accomplishment in music! Most of the add-ons were dressed and there was nearly standing room only, with some even standing outside the open front door listening and clapping after each number.
It does get funny in people's minds when religion comes into the story, how many will get themselves dressed up, or many may still put on more formal clothing for a weekly church service at a nude resort. Except for certain events like open house weekend or when the general public is invited in, for example a car show, the only places where clothes are permitted (besides for new folks assessing the place) are at our open pavilion or inside the chapel. Naked is so natural and gets a person a little closer to God - now wearing clothes in church seems so silly to me, unless there's a weather condition that prevents or interrupts it. Speaking of which, our heater/ac unit in the chapel is in need of replacement, so be prepared until we get the new unit in place, hopefully in the next two weeks.
