EDIT TO ADD: TLDR: 1) I’m used to THICK, DURABLE cargo shorts I got in late ‘90’s-early-‘00’s (and I’m still wearing).

2) Only shorts I’ve seen in last couple years are TOO THIN/ELASTICALLY/LIKE “SWIM SHORTS.”

3) I also like them LONG: AT/AROUND BOTTOM OF KNEECAP (willing to get bigger size waste, if absolutely necessary, to get right length - e.g. 36 instead of my 33-34...I’m 5’10” btw)

I’ve been wearing (/wearing out/losing) the same cargos for probably 10-15 years. So for the last 2-3 springs/summers, I’ve randomly walked into a local Kohl’s, Target, Old Navy etc. but always left empty handed...and I just noticed there’s a giant hole in the crotch of one, and realized that I’m finally down to my very last “good” pair.

Extra Notes/Context, in case I’m not clear about what I’m looking for:

• My first cargo shorts were bought from Abercrombie & Fitch roughly around 1999-2002 (the shorts are long gone), and they were “heavier,” “durable” etc. The same goes for the 4-5 pairs I’ve been wearing for the last 10-15 years, purchased from various different stores (I can’t 100% recall which ones, unfortunately)...so this is the type/design I’m used to.

• But all the shorts I’ve come across in the last couple years have seemed so “thin.” I don’t know if this has just been/is just the current style, and maybe the old ones will be back - hopefully (fingers crossed) this year???...or if it’s just that, according to the girl at Old Navy, “they (“everyone”???) use cheaper material now.”

• Lastly/Importantly: Again, bc I’m used to a ‘90’s/early-‘00’s style - I like them “LONGER”/“baggier;” i.e. at/around the bottom of the kneecap (For Ref: My very first non-Umbros shorts were jean shorts in ~1996-97 - aka mid-shin/practically down to my ankles...so I’ve been conditioned to the point where at/above the mid-knee length shorts is impossible, lol).**
