I am a great fan of shorts, but not a fan of that outfit.

Is the tote bag isn't it? 

I honestly can't see anything that any vintage aficionado wouldn't wear. British style shorts with a shirt with rolled sleeves.

What I mean regardless of you liking that outfit in particular is that the pictures in the store aren't an eye catcher. The ones in Portobello are, the ones with a white background or poor Nik being chopped off to me aren't. Croping pictures needs to be done with caution or otherwise just ruins the pictures.

Am I being too critic? Maybe but at this point after a few years of SJC I think the brand needs to up the game when it comes to pictures. That's my view about it.

That's exactly how i sport shirts during summer.. What shorts? I got the british khaki drills in the same style. Awesome photo!

I would guess they're (probably repro) British or Australian in jungle green - WPG does something along these lines: http://onlinemilitaria.net/products/4561...en-Shorts/

Wouldn't be seen dead in short trousers myself, but I rather like the proper trouser version of these.

Why not? I keep reading that from several people as if it was a capital sin.

That's because they are a capital sin.

Shorts are not a sin. They can be difficult to wear, but they are not a sin! Part of the problem is what you wear on your feet. You can't really wear normal shoes because it looks better with long socks. And that really isn't an option in this era (it looks like a costume and works best if you have the whole 1930s look).

The problem, for me, with those green shorts is that it appears that the fabric is slightly too lightweight to hold the shape effectively. I have had this problem with shorts. It is essential that the legs are wide and hold their shape. It is not enough simply to make a short version of a normal trouser, they need to be cut to a pattern to allow the air to circulate around the thighs.

I don’t think I agree with the sentiment that shorts are a sin, but they are an obvious sign of weakness.

[bluescaptain]

Well, I liked both the shorts and the picture. But I'm not really a "vintage" dresser, so what do I know.. I rather like the idea of being a capital sinner! 

[metatron]

I don't see anything wrong with the picture, I like it in fact.

[nortonofmorton]

I like the look as well. It's nice to see a man that isn't stick thin wearing high-waisted shorts and looking very good doing so. Very stylish. Especially at a high profile menswear event.

Exactly why I posted it Gary.
