The search for slim, mid-length shorts

[drizzt3117]

I like my shorts to hit 3-4 inches above the knee... it seems a lot of shorts, especially cargo ones, are starting to get into manpri territory.

I don't mind cuffs in principle, but they make 5'5 me look more like 4 feet.
Only white, not off-white, is acceptable for croquet.

Man, I just don't get to hear the phrase "manpri" enough. Nice! BTW - J.Crew's website offers khaki shorts in shorter inseams. There's a 7 inch and a 5 inch. Not sure how slim they are through.

They're not super slim but not really baggy. I have a pair of 9" that i'm selling and they hit just slightly above the knee.

eluxury has the BoO shorts if people are interested. Lot of money though.

These YMC shorts fit the bill: http://www.oaknyc.com/men/shop-by-br...mc-chino-short They're sold out @ Oak, but probably available at other YMC retailers.

I'll post up my jil shorts this week unless Socal bites me and puts up a picture first and claims he was the og like he did with the schiesser.

Steve Alan shorts (at Nordstrom) look really nice. I'm not paying $128, but they are nice.
