What up with the company only offering the long shorts with the ten inch inseam? I tried to order some shorts this morning and thats all we are allowed. My local dry cleaners wants $13 to hem pants. I hate the "Manpris" or "ghetto shorts", I can't stand the hems hitting the top of my knees. These things look horrible, I don't see the reasoning behind this decision at all.
They want you too look hip and gangster.

We no longer use an order form, this is done online. I have two pairs of the long shorts I got over a year ago. I took them back and reordered again twice thinking the OMS just screwed up ordering them. My wife kept saying she would hem them, but never got around to it. I wore my older shorts until they are threadbare. The morning OMS that is in charge of ordering everything says the 7 inch shorts are no longer issued.

I kept having problems with the seams ripping out on the 7" inseam shorts. I actually had to file a grievance to force the company to replace the ones that I kept ripping and bringing back. My next order turned out to be the longer ones (I call them "hobbit" shorts) and I havent had any problems with torn seams since then.

But now management is trying to push that you MUST wear the brown UPS logo socks with the uniform. I've told my bosses that if they are going to force me to wear them then they can provide them just like the rest of the uniform. I'll stick with my black ankle socks that you can barely see anyway.

Good. Cargo shorts are a great case of functional work wear.

I still have a couple of pairs of the original gold-stripe socks that I bought to wear with shorts back in the mid 90's. If they try to tell me I cant wear them, they had better be willing to refund the money I paid for them.

I wish I could order mini-skirts. I think my customers would like them!!
Just order the new summer shirt jac. that are tailess. Hell, the new ones come down to my thighs and I'm 6'. Were just that and your customers would really like.
Pretty soon we'll all be back into pants and long sleeves year round. The used pants really bother me. How do I know someone didn't blow a wet one in em?

My center, uniforms okay. If there are any problems, I would
cut my long pants and get them hemmed.

My prediction; the cargo shorts we ultimately order from China will have pockets that rip out the first time you stick the DIAD in there. And they wont be brown, they will be the same shade of earthy green that you see when you scrape a poopy diaper off of a baby's ass.

From what I understand, the cargos are only going to be big enough for the DIAD itself and not a big pocket like most cargo shorts.

The UPS logo fell off the new socks the first time I washed them. They're now brown socks with a "glue shield" on the ankle!
