      I’m the same but mostly because of health issues.

      I live in country side and have some farm work to do, but because I’m allergic to grass and dandruff ( don’t know the exact word for english ) if I go out in short’s I will end up with legs full of red spots and itchy af.

      When working with hayballs I literally need to have long sleeves and a mask to not have red spots on hands and not start to have problems breathing at times when my allergy is in full throthle at 30-40 celcius weather in summer.

      The irony of being in countryside and having a farm but being allergic to what you work with.

    I know a guy who always wears shorts, even in freezing winter temperatures. Hell, he got married in shorts.

    Postie legs! I am a proud owner of some Royal Mail branded shorts and I occasionally cosplay as a postie with my hot Scottish legs.

      Do postman shorts last longer than other types of shorts? Is there a special shop they get them from?

      I keep wearing massive holes in the crotches of mine. It’s only my undercrackers that stop my plums dangling out.

        Pretty sure they’re issued to staff and you can’t buy them, they do seem to be higher quality than the usual corporate branded sheite. Had them for a few years now and my plums remain well secured.

        LBJ’s presidential tapes had him talking to some trouser company, and it’s hilarious with “And another thing…the crotch, down where your nuts hang, is always a little too tight” while letting a couple belches out. Teach played it in our Vietnam War class in college to demonstrate how he was a crass character.

    Doesn’t even get cold in England any more. I’ve worn long trousers like twice in the last 4 years, and both times were for funerals.

    I love in the land of harsh winter even for Canadians, but one thing I’m never worried about are my legs. So long as the core and head are protected, I could wear shorts no problem. Legs are not the spot we are losing heat, especially the calves.

      It hit 10 degrees one day this week and I thought I was free from pants. Went to Costco in an Asian area and everyone was dressed like it was -40 and I was getting incredulous looks but it was so nice out it wasn’t even chilly

      The bottom half. The extra length makes everything fit worse and be uncomfortable.

    I read about the guy who lost his legs because he fell asleep in his car with wet socks on a cold night.

    Only white dude things.
