No, I can dress myself, thank you, and I can even figure out what goes with what and what looks good. That is not the kind of help I need, thank you very much.
Here's the situation: a few months ago, I bought four brand spanking new pairs of cargo shorts, for work and play, as I find them comfortable and easy to work and move in, and the multiple pockets simply work for me.
It didn't take long for one pair to have it's front button fall off. Well, shit.
Then a couple weeks ago another pair got a huge hole in the butt area. Not a split, as that would be up a seam, but just as if someone had taken a huge knife to it. Which, as far as I know, no one had. And then yesterday, a second pair lost its front button.
Now, I know I've gotten a bit thicker over the last few years, but I am basically the same size as when I tried these things on in the store, and they fit perfectly fine, and just the same way as they do now.
The two button poppers I'm having repaired by a local seamstress....that's easy enough. The ripped pair I think is going to have to be tossed.
But here's where I need help. I need recommendations for brands of cargo shorts that are decent, sturdy, comfortable, can put up with lots of abuse, can come in normal colors (I am NOT wearing dayglo green or pink camo, thank you very much!), and are not ridiculously expensive. I know my size, so I can buy these things online, but would like some recommendations on particular brands that fit my parameters, or even sites you've had good experiences with for this particular clothing item.
I would just shop for them here in town, but I bought the two pairs at Sears and Champs, and other than those places, the only options I have are K-Mart (which has nothing I like), Ross (which has even less I like or in my size), and insanely overpriced boutique stores in downtown Key West.
So...suggestions, please? I thank you for any and all ideas.
