I also recommend these shorts. Both my wife and I have two pair and
they fit better than the standard BSA shorts. And Scouts like them
MUCH, MUCH better than the standard shorts. The only negative aspect is
that, being 100% cotton, they wrinkle more than shorts made of the
blended fibers.
According to the latest Philmont mail order catalog, they will be
available in February in sizes 26,28,30,32,33,36,38,40,42,44,46,48 and
50. They are made by Columbia of cotton canvass and double seated to
insure durability. The belt loops are wide and fit a 1" belt. There
are front and back slash pockets and front cargo pockets. The Philmont
arrowhead logo is embroidered on the left front pocket.
To order, call the Philmont Trading Post at 505-376-2281 Ext. 243 on
weekdays 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Mountain Time. They accept Visa, Mastercard or
Discover. Shipping and handling on one pair will cost $8.25.
