They are nice but a tad pricey for me......Perhaps this another clue that Higgins was Robin Masters :wink:

I love the way Sam always shows up and just does the mic drop. Thanks Sam!

Isn't that the Seinfeld company?

Here are some very affordable options:

Here is a 1941 pattern for sale, Higgins wore a different pattern that probably came out in the post war period.

Here is a 1949 pattern, that came to be popularly known as "Gurkha shorts"

Isn't it funny that magnum and Higgins embodied the very opposite extremes of shorts tailoring, often in the same scene?
