Well I'll be danged. I like that one entry; "shorten legs". I believe my old shorts are Black Bottoms, if I remember correctly, and the legs on those were way shorter than the shorts that came just a bit later. They were bullet proof. I'm still nearly the same waist size I was in high school…nearly……but they're a bit snug on me. Being very scrawny, I ordered a pair of the Kucharik wool shorts a while ago, in small, but they're not a size small in my book. Nice, but too baggy.
