DH hates these silly long shorts

It is so hard to find shorter ones though, last year he got sort of rugbyish shorts in the end. I am determined to find him some nice ones for hols. Just something plain, maybe linen or something. You do seem to get them in the disgusting shell suity material a la Alan Partridge with his shrivelled innard \link{here} oh no those are much shorter than I want

Anyway you know what I mean
Please help me!!

Thanks but they are swimming trunks!

He has plenty of those, I mean something to wear in the evening like this sort of thing

But look at that pic. I bet he is 6ft at least and they are on his knee. Stupid.

CountessDracula · 22/06/2006 14:28

CountessDracula · 22/06/2006 14:28

My dad who is only short buys his shorts from M&S because they come in different lengths. He has loads from there in that sort of style. I think my mum shops at BHS and Debenhams for him as well.

BTW its a pain when they are the other way round, my dp is 6ft3 and all shorts just look indecent on him
