I just think that Zegna makes very good pants (althought not for me). It just seems wrong to change dress pants into shorts. To me it's like chopping the sleeves from a suit jacket to make yourself a nice vest. The original conveys one image, and the result of the alteration conveys a very different, even opposing, image.

I suppose practically there may be nothing wrong with what you've done, as they might even naturally look like shorts. Conceptually however, I consider the two to be in complementary distribution.

something like pnod's ccp modding? anyway, this reminds me of a man who accidentally bleached his bottom part of his ccp breadstick pants, and then he decide to scissor them into shorts.

^Fenrost, that's funny (and unfortunate). At least Pnod's CCP alteration didn't change the type of thing. They're still boots. Farhanyassin killed the pants. The (original) tailoring has gone to waste. But, like people have said, if it's yours you can do whatever you want.

Ah I get what you mean. I just wanted to give a new life to the pants as they weren't getting any mileage for God knows how long. I finally got around to using them yesterday and it just feels right. I wouldn't do what I did if I knew I were going to use them as pants.

nice one M, both VA I take?

[marck]

Thanks dude. Yea both are VA. Needed some lower boots to go with my shorts and these work perfectly.

[endersgame]

^^ i always found the heels/soles on VA boots paper thin.

for someone who suffers underpronation such as myself, i generally will wear them out in a matter of days unless i get them reinforced..

[marck]

Too true, I like them that low though. Having them soled at the cobbler as we speak
