Shorts that are actually short (but with pockets)

I am actually in a similar position to you op (apart from being a cyclist:p). There doesn't seem to be smart shorts with deep pockets, and obviously no man should ever wear denim shorts. I'm going to have a look round next on Friday and see if they have any.

No man should ever wear denim shorts eh?
I think that not everyone is going to accept you as the arbiter of what, or what not, to wear.

Have you not seen the money supermarket advert:D?

No, we record almost everything we want to watch, then zip through the commercials.
I’ll watch out for it, presumably someone looking like a dork in denim shorts, but maybe it suits the advertiser to have a dork in denim shorts in the commercial for his product.
I don’t think that I look like Joe Cool in my denim shorts, but I’m happy to wear them, and Mme. Jean-F is happy to sit at a beach bar with me when I wear them, and she’s somewhat of a fashion guru, (soi-disant).

Has anyone bought from https://www.boohooman.com/mens/activewear

I'd never even seen the website before, and assume it is, one in the same, as the boohoo in the (slavery) news.

website does not seem to say much about what the garments are made of (let alone where they are made) but the prices seem cheap

eg https://www.boohooman.com/big-and-tall-man-active-skinny-joggers/MZZ16586.html?color=105

another spot these look ideal for covid 'protection' ninja outfit, perfect with a gucci belt ?

Sounds like below is essentially what you're after op, however you want a smarter version.

I'm in the same situation as you and incidentally wearing the above shorts for that reason. They are short shorts, breathable, have zips pockets, and best of all, elastic waist! So comfortable to wear however they do not look smart at all. I continue my search every day in the hope of one day finding a pair of casual shorts that have good features.

Not a fan of the knee length, no zip, buttoned! Thick shorts.

no strong feelings on bohoo quality then ? ... or that's an oxymoron
