Pants me! What do you wear? Non boat related.

ben2go,

It all depends on whom you want to impress. If it's yourself, and you're long term cruising, what I found was that I got really annoyed when what I bought new was faded and ugly within a year. From then on, I shopped only at thrift shops, and didn't worry about dye quality any more. When I started this, I was getting about 5-6 prs. of shorts for what I would have paid for one before, so I found it frugal. You still have to check the pockets for secure, or be prepared to sew a contrasting flap over the top, with velcro or a button closure. Mostly, cotton/polyester blends. Works fine for me. Plus, part of me exults in recycling simple stuff where I can. Just might change my middle name to "repurposing."
