Cargo Shorts

Shorts without pockets, this isn't hard. Unless you are doing an activity or job that requires more than 3-4 pockets than cargo shorts are fine. Wearing cargo shorts as an older man just looks bad and out of style.
What if the said man was not older but not young neither. Say someoen in his 30's? Do you know what actually I don't give a **** what people think of what I wear.
 
Let me introduce you to no show socks:

I wear no-show socks myself but I prefer to believe that the dude in the pic is trying to torture himself in many ways.
 
My remaining jorts are relegated to yard work. You won't see me out and about in them unless it is Lowe's, Menard's, Home Depot or Fleet Farm when I need to pick something up for the project I am working on.

I'll wear the cargo shorts hiking.
I'll confess. I only got rid of my last pair of jorts a couple of years ago which I had been wearing occasionally for yardwork. My teenage daughter made me get rid of them.
 
My first year on RAGBRAI some people I was riding with made fun of me because I had a huge fanny pack. They made fun of me until I showed its utility, that is. When we got some beer I was able to fit a full six pack of beer and ice in that fanny pack. Road beers made them go from hating on the giant fanny pack to giant fanny pack fans.

Yep, it's the offseason.

Are cargo shorts appropriate to wear when constructing a play set where you will need places to put screws, nails, tape measure, flask etc.?

Yes! The flask is the most important tool and use all the pockets to organize the connectors by size. Trust me. I assembled ours before I owned cargo shorts and ended up using one bolt that was a little longer than necessary early in the process and ended up with one that was too short later in the process.

Would the bolt misuse be tied into flask use rate?

In response to @wxman1, sure great place for the use of cargo shorts, also don't forget the 5 gallon bucket for transporting and storing stuff in.

Working on the house is the only time the one pair I have left see the light of day. They’re good for holding a tape, T Square, etc. when running in and out of the house to the saw.

TBH, no. In fact it would be just the opposite. When I used the wrong bolt initially it would have been early in the morning and I wouldn't have had a drink. When I discovered the problem, it would have been late in the day and I may have had a drink by then. It was probably because I hadn't had enough coffee.

I both love it and hate it all at the same time.
