Nearly a month ago, I ordered a pair of /baskit/ trunks from 10percent.com.
They hadn't arrived as of this morning, so I called to check the status of my order. Much to my dismay, the customer service rep said they wouldn't be in stock for another three weeks. I finish up at university in a little over a week, and I need a pair of swim trunks for when I get home.

--Link NSFW-- Well, it's 'safe for work' but I'm warnin' ya in advance anyway.

^^The aforementioned /baskit/ shorts. I need something that fits (and preferably looks like them), and I don't know where to go. I'm 6-3, 175, and wear a size 34. (I can't remember if it's elastic or the waistband in the baskit shorts that is flattering no matter what the gut is.) I'd prefer shorts that hit above the knee, but below the half-way point on the thigh.
Any thoughts as to what shorts I should buy?

Thanks in advance. My girlfriend swooned over she shorts (to use an 18th century word) when she saw them, and I don't want her to be disappointed when she finds out I can't get my hands on them, lol.

Try the Andrew Christian shorts. I've got some, and they look to be the same style of swim shorts. I ordered three pairs from their site a few days before my honeymoon, and they got them to me in time.
