About 5 years ago my dad bought me one, and they've been my favorite shorts since. I wore/wear them every day. My wife decided to buy me more, but now they are short short, like Village People disco short. I tried googling a "long" version and I can't seem to find long ones. There are search results that say "long" but when you click to the product, it's still the short ones.

I'm looking for the ones that come down to the knee when standing.

Any tips? Links? "Model numbers"? Similar products that meet my criteria not named aftco?

You’ve worn the same pair of shorts every day for 5 years?

Good, I’m short.

I have 3 new pairs being delivered tomorrow. Love them. I see someone already linked the site. Check out the everyday shorts, they have 8” inseam. There’s some long styles on sale for 39.99, just scroll down and you’ll see them.

I scrolled down and didn't see them. Can you link me? $40 is cheaper than $65.

I know the board likes to shite on Salt Life, but their hybrid board shorts are damn comfortable and look good for everyday casual wear. And they come down to the knee like you want.

They’re called shorts. Not longs. The AFTCO original fishing short has a 6” inseam. I prefer a 7” inseam due to height and leg length. AFTCOs hit about the same as a pair of PFG fishing shorts on me.

I think they call those capris. Women wear them in the US. Men wear them in Europe. Or so I’m told.

$65 for a pair of shorts. Seems like a lot, but I’m also a “buy once, cry once” guy too. I’m interested.

Literally all of my shorts other than gym shorts are AFTCO original fishing shorts.

Always looked dated, cheesy and way too short for me to ever buy.

AFTCO original fishing shorts and long. Have both. The longs go to my knee bone. Originals do fit like a rich kid from Birmingham with a patagonia visor.

Best short for fishing I've ever owned. I like the original even if they do fit short, stuff in your pockets don't go flying around as bad.

Wearing an 8” inseam is a little too close for me, if you know what I mean ??
