Pants are often on sale. Getting shorts in a non-standard length on sale is well nigh impossible. Also, now you can buy pants on ebay that may not have the correct inseam and turn them into very cheap shorts. I wanted to get Bills Khakis shorts because I like their pants so much, and was actually considering plunking down $80- for a pair of shorts, when I came upon this idea. I found several pair of Bills in my waist size from ebay, and got them for about $5 a piece. Add the $13 for the hem, and I had two pair of shorts for $36! Hemmed to spec as well. I favor 10.5 inch inseams on mine (I'm 6'3"). Keep up the good blogging! PC Zach,

Good idea. I may give this a try also with some older khaki pants I have. For some of your less clothier-technical readers (such as me) you need to explain acronyms, like AAAC.
