cargo pants, really jcrew?

november 2009 men's shop jcrew:

cargo pants. hrmmm... i don't own a pair of cargo pants & i don't recall ever recall owning a pair that latest longer than a week. after i realized how awkward they are for me-even cargo shorts, i threw in the towel. they may be "functional" & have huge pockets (ie: store items when you're outdoors, *gasp*) but other than that they look bulky and aren't very flattering. have you ever tried running/briskly jogging/power-walking in fully-loaded up cargo pants or shorts? it's nearly impossible. it's like having full cans of paint dangling above your knees. and you're running.

i remember when i had cargo zip-away pants in 7th grade. right after gym class, i would put my zip-away pants on and go to lunch. i would then proceed to make a scene out of zipping off the leg sleevesof my pants, transforming these wretched pants into comfortable, breathable shorts because lords knows after gym, your calves just cannot be contained in canvas sleeves. (note: no armpit hair was present, not until 2004)

  1. Have you ever tried running in "skinny" jeans? I'll take the cargo for my half marathon please.
