Are there any well regarded brands in the EU that sell high quality short?

Love my Dickies shorts because Iโ€™ve found them to be well made and long lasting but am considering options if I can find equivalent products.

Is Pantaloon a real word? sounds like the Spanish one for trousers (pantalon)

[โ€“] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 2 points 22 hours ago

here in the United States it generally means your underpants, but a lot of people in the northern appalachians will call any pants pantaloons

It's real yes. Old timey word that I like using every now and then for fun :)

I was originally introduced to he word because of the Simpsons when Bart said 'must drop pantaloons '. I think Lisa was a witch or something. Can't remember exactly.
