Last year, after reading the spring/summer issues of VMan and Fantastic Man, I took my old shorts, which were knee length to my tailor. I instructed her to put them at the "new" length, approximately 3" above the knee. She had me try on each pair, and we made estimations based on the fact that my ass gets smaller in summer due to increased walking and less eating. In total, it was a fifteen minute process. As always, she blew me a kiss as I left her shop.
