Who wears short shorts?

[Dastardly]

Ive been wondering where I can get cool short shorts for that awesome 70's big look?

Ive been somewhat inspired after getting my copy of strongest shall survive.

Need to get:

Many White Vests

Stripey knee high socks.

Short Shorts

and perhaps switch my glasses for aviators.

I always wear some adidas soccer socks for deadlifting in. They look awesome (I have the black with white stripes).

As for short shorts, not sure where to get those unless you can find some at a thrift store or at a costume shop. I had that dilemma because I was a 70's powerlifter for Halloween (big stretch, I know), and found some at the latter. Let me tell you, those mofo's were TIGHT. Like pornographic tight. FYI, I have about 29" thighs and 36" waist. Good luck finding ones that will fit you well if you are 70's Big.

I wear running shorts I got from Target. I don't like shorts that touch or go below my knees.

If "The Strongest Shall Survive" is your inspiration, you NEED Bike Coaches shorts. I think they were discontinued, but you can still find them.

Tell me more, I didnt know bike coaches wore any specific types of shorts.

I am a long way off big, but my thighs are more impressive than all but the one olympic weightlifter I have seen in a gym in my city.

Indie/hipster chicks will dig this look, im just such a whore I guess. I am planning to wear short shorts around town in the summer.

I just bought a pair for halloween. Great quality and you will not find a better price.

Awesome, I had no idea what coach shorts were! But they are indeed the type in the book.

Gonna find someone to ship me some.

Excellent service. I ordered 3 pairs of socks at 11am on Tuesday, they showed up at my door at noon on Thursday (I am in Houston, TX, Skatersocks is in San Marcos, California).
