Chubbies Shorts

According to the Urban Dictionary the term Chubbies is a noun meaning “Radical shorts for men.” According to one of the founder of Chubbies, Tom Montgomery, they are called Chubbies because of “The elastic waistband, of course. It means you can gain some weight and your shorts still fit like a dream.”

Today I will present you with the facts on why these thigh liberating shorts are the most radtacular shorts in the world and how they will help you reach your full potential. But to truly understand Chubbies you first must know the origin of so called “short shorts.”

The Golden Age of short-shorts as I like to call it was the 70’s and the 80’s; where a man’s thighs could be free and no one judged him. One of the most well known shorts brand throughout this time period was Ocean Pacific or OP. The brand was founded in 1972 and its apparel, to be more specific, short-shorts took off immediately. This brand was very popular among the bodybuilding and surfing communities. One of the goals of Chubbies Shorts is to bring us back to this glorious age of shorts. Chubbies Shorts is seeking to take men around the world out of the “Capri Ages” of shortswear and get men back to the shorts bodaciousness of the 70s and 80s. Dudes have no reason to hide their legs behind layers and layers of fabric at the expense of functionality and style. The Chubbies lifestyle follows this pursuit. The company was started but 4 Stamford grads who really hate pants, not to mention cargo shorts.

They asked themselves Why are shorts now less manly and more thigh-constricting? What’s with all the unnecessary cargo pockets? Why are dudes ashamed to show their legs? Then came to the conclusion that it just didn’t make sense and afterward decided they had to do something about it. Hence the birth of the Chubbies Revolution. The cofounders always wore rad shorts. They looked back at the days of their dads and grand dads and were in utter admiration of their ridiculous shorts. But then they looked at the current state of sportswear – dudes wearing super long, baggy shorts with entirely too many pockets. They just didn’t get it. Why were dudes sacrificing comfort, flexibility and attractiveness to hide their god given quads? So they realized it was time to make a change and start cranking out crazy awesome shorts – not just for them, but for humanity. One thing you may notice about Chubbies is the exotic names they’re given such as The Vice, The Chubmmander in Chiefs, and The Walk of Flames, just to name a few. There is no true process to naming these shorts. It is just a random occurrence that they hope will make sense to the guy that wears them later on.

One of the biggest problems Chubbies Shorts faces to date has been keeping up with demand from an inventory standpoint. Because they’re a new brand, they haven’t had much time to build out a war chest of cash, so when they got a ton of demand that needed to be filled in the beginning of spring, they had to launch pre-sales. And they set specific shipping dates because they want to make sure their customers know exactly when their shorts are going to arrive. However, they are now getting to a point where they won’t need to pre-sell to meet demand. During the design process of chubbies they tend to have an awesome time during the process. When they are contemplating new concepts, they make sure to sit back and relax. These are amazing times for the company and this is when all of their great ideas emerge. Chubbies are 100% ‘Merican made. Yeah thats right 100%.

And lastly the question we have all been waiting for: What makes Chubbies the best shorts out there? Can I say literally everything? They make you at least 10 times faster. They are better looking than any other short you could possibly even imagine. They don’t have 400 pockets for carrying all sorts of useless things (cargo shorts). They are made with lightning. They can write essays on your behalf (if you asked your Chubbies I’m sure they’d help you with this speech). They are the most comfortable item a human could wear. And, finally, they make the wearer invulnerable to bear attacks. But seriously; These shorts offer you more freedom where it matters most (if you know what i mean).
