very short shorts

Discussion of fashion elements and looks that are traditionally considered somewhat "femme" but are presented in a masculine context. This is NOT about transvestism or crossdressing.

To get away from the baggy Army-issue khaki shorts worn by service personnel serving in hot countries, I remember shops in the '60s stocking very short shorts. Way before the advent of lycra and stretchy materials, normal 'kit' worn by competitive rowers was as illustrated here.

That pic was taken during the first big freeze-up in '62-3. Our Liffey river froze to an ice thickness of 5+ inches and the 20-yr.-old TJK was impervious to the cold.

Just unearthed this vintage Mega-DIY pic of Muggins with hair & a beard wearing the sort of shorts which were on sale for men everywhere then. A long time before I discovered skirt-wearing. That's a nail in my mouth, not a fag.

That's my last entry on this thread.
