dude, seriously agree on this one. remember the first time I had a teen in oregon throw them down, wow, you should go change. You’re not alone. Have a great week man.
I think that man capris should only be allowed if you are stranded on a desert island and your pants fray away from the ankles naturally.
Agreed! (just wanted to be the 3rd Chris to comment)
“Manpris” I’m not sure…maybe they aren’t so bad…maybe?
May we never.
Manpris… Dana you should trademark that!!!
That style is huge in Europe! I’ve also seen guys out on the golf course here in the U.S. wearing what they call “Golf Knickers”. Not cool at all.

1. Those are not capris. They are long shorts.
2. It’s so inappropriate to post pictures of people and make fun of them, especially when so many people read your blog.
Fair enough … I removed the picture … but the point remains.

As Dana said, I’ve heard them referred to as Man-pris or ‘Shants’.
The choice is yours.
4th Chris here, jeans rolled up on the calf are pretty big here in the east. I’m not sure what the difference is.
By the way, I’ve decided that “inappropriate” is a very old man word. If you use the word “inappropriate” regularly, you probably don’t drink caffine past 8pm.
Ummm….so I remember wearing a pair ONCE 6 or 7 years ago. After the large ridiculing I got and the fact that my wife saw them and threw them out kinda hurt too.
Crap, I can’t post this? Oh no, my delete key isn’t working. How do I get rid of this? I can’t even shut the window.
OK, I will submit my request (I hope the submit button works). Please do not post what I just wrote.
hitting submit…crossing my fingers…
DANGIT!!!
Who cares what a man wears? I for one am NOT governed by dictates of fashion, I wear what I want and don’t answer to anyone when I am away from the workplace on my own time.
