I've worn the traditional Aftco shorts for over 20 years and love them. I was intrigued by the stretch of the deckhand shorts which is good but I wore them fishing offshore and got multiple stains in them which were impossible to get out. If they could have the stain resistance of the original short, then you would have something. I cancelled the 3 additional deckhand shorts that I had ordered. I also did not like the longer length of the pants.
