World's Most Comfortable Shorts
Sometimes I leave the house for destinations other than the operating room or to go for a run.
Not often, mind you, but there are still some things that do require a physical presence and can't be done online.
Trust me, I'm trying to eliminate them all and someday I will but for now I do need clothing other than OR scrubs (for the OR - doh!) and my modified, cut-off-at-the-knee scrub pants and soft old scrub tops that comprise my default home outfit for waking, scheming, sleeping and dreaming.
I started wearing Thousand Mile's Comfy Shorts many years ago.
Back then the company was very small, offering these shorts in two colors and not a whole lot more.
Now they're big — really big.
But they seem small when you deal with them, so much so that even though I could order online now I prefer to call them and chat with the nice woman who's been their phone person since the beginning.
The shorts are made of very soft, comfortable cotton, have an elastic waist and last forever.
The pockets are huge and deep and the Velcro fly is very handy.
They come in Olive, Khaki, Black, Cool River or Putty (top).
I like the Khaki and Cool River.

"...the Velcro fly is very handy." seems a bit scary to me. The "hook" side of the two would be rather scratchy for a fly closure!

They do look marvelously comfy, and if I didn't have hideous, flabby, misshapen, varicose-vein-riddled, children-frightening legs, I'd wear them. There is, however, a wonderfully soft-looking cotton sweater, raglan-sleeved and sized for men, apparently (but a few hot-water washings and hot-air dryings might take care of the size problem), advertised on the same page, that I might not be able to pass up, even if it is 85 degrees in Hotlanta.
A word of warning however, to the susceptible: Elastic-waist pants, etc., can be a trap. You can binge eat for several days straight and never know what's happening until one day you're forced to don the old once-roomy jeans and you get this big old surprise. With elastic, you get no resistance, no feedback. Maybe the wearing should be restricted to every other day. Just a thought. One could simply restrict one's food intake, but where's the fun in that?

I must say, this phrase is funny:
"...the Velcro fly is very handy."
