golf shorts: are they all too short? Help!

[Togatown22]

Ok,

I'm looking for some help here. I'm on a mission to find some nice, flat front or single-pleat (only if I have too) shorts with at least an 8" inseam, but no longer than 9".

Any suggestions?

I currently go with some khaki J Crew or Banana Republic shorts, but I'd like something in a nicer material. Seems the Tommy Bahamas, Lindebergs, Tehamas, Greg Norman, Ping, etc of the world think we all want 5" inseams on our shorts. I love the material of these, but they are just too short. I don't want jams or anything crazy long, just a bit longer than what my dad wears....no offense dad!

I've seen some Ben Hogans on the auction site, and some cutter & bucks that might work, but I've never found either in person.

 

Thanks in advance for any help! :)

 

Cheers,

 

Jeff

nike golf shorts have 9" inseams and come in pleat or flat. i got a couple pairs in october on sale and love them. normally i wouldn't pay this much for shorts but they fit so well. they also have deep front pockets which is nice with tees and stuff in the pocket.

You know, that's one brand I haven't looked at. Are they nice material like dri-fit or whatever the new microfiber is, or simply cotton twill?

I'm looking for some nice "dress-pant" type material. Like a wool blend or something.

loving the nike shorts here too

 

pleated and flat fronts (i rock the flat fronts!). deff check them out if you get a chance.

 

theyre a dress pant material i think, with a small amount of some sort of dri fit material mixed in. But theyd pass for off course shorts if needed id think.

 

btw: if youve got some dollars to speand, the Tiger Woods range of slacks/long pants are really great.

 

I have a black pair. Theyre light and breathe really well. Perfect for lots of different kinds of conditions, plus theyre talored really well.
