If you like outdoor clothing i can recommend Fjallraven, however i am not sure what sort of shorts you are looking for
Any experience on long-term durability? I've read quite a few negative comments online about their durability.
Youโd probably have to look at workwear to find something comparable to dickies, as dickies used to be workwear. But I feel you, I love my dickies shorts too and hope they last forever as Iโm not going to buy new ones.
Love the Shorts and pants by Reell
Iโm a cargo pants and shorts guy and can attest them a lifetime of many years. Wearing mine for at least five years now.
The athletic/weightlifting style shorts from decathlon are peak. Lightweight and stretchy where you need it.
I've had dickies but after decathlon I can't go back. Sure maybe they won't last 15 years but 3 seems reasonable for a nearly every day wear for me. And they're still going.
Hansen Garments are a bit upscale but their stuff is insanely well made and good looking. Each one I own feel like they will last me a lifetime.
You didn't say cheap just high quality, so merz b schwanen and sunspel are both made in Europe and both very high quality.
Tom Tailor! Might not be the cheapest but daaamn they are comfortable and durable!
I bought linen shorts recently from la Gentle Factory
They are all made in France, even the fabric is made in France in most cases.
Looks good, but do they ship to eu? Looks very french only :(
Lol, was totally thinking shorting stocks for some reason. But you mean shorts as in pantaloons.
I have no recommendations as I'm across the pond
Is Pantaloon a real word? sounds like the Spanish one for trousers (pantalon)
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.
