I vote for clam digger military shorts instead of capri. While googling "clam diggers" i found this. Maybe Scott will feel better.
When I was a youngster, back in the twentieth century, we called these clam diggers. I think they may have been called that because the girls equivalent was called Capri pants, and perhaps peoples alleged friends might accuse them of looking gay less frequently if the pants had a hardworking, practical, butch-sounding name. Personally, I loved my clam diggers back in the day, and if I should happen to encounter them in the future, especially in white, Ill be looking gay, too. I know clam diggers were available a couple of years ago at Diesel and the Gap. My Capri-wearing comrade, the manly poet Max Blagg, says he has Kenneth Cole Capris. An ankle flasher from way back, he also likes what he calls board shorts, which are surfer-inspired trou slightly briefer than the
three-quarter length of the traditional Capri clam digger. I know that when I wear Capris on the isle of Capri, no one will consider them sexually typifying, because in that advanced culture people are concerned only with beauty, pleasure, love and the occasional clam.
