if you're only 6'2" you should be able to find stuff that fits you just about anywhere. I'm 6'3" and i don't need to ever really look anywhere special, they almost always have stuff that fits

i'm 6'2"ish and about 160-165lbs, and i don't have a problem finding shorts that fit... and i have all sorts of different brands. ie quiksilver, sessions, billabong, etc.  generally they make shirts that fit me really well to, i wear slim fit shirts from quiksilver or w/e and they seem to be pretty good.

those abercrombrie shorts won't go lower than your groin. they'd miss being in contact with your dick too much! HA.

wow... sort of funny, I chuckled

I wear my shorts in a 34+ waist but I sag them pretty hard and use a belt for "fitted sagging" wow I just invented that term.
Why am I even in this thread I'm only 5'10?

buddy im 6'5".  you just need to learn how to pull off either the sagging jeans or jsut accept that your tall and that shorts go about your knees.  Im almost at that stage but not yet haha I still need a bit of bag in the shorts.

you can actually get some pretty dope looking capri style (longish) cargo shorts with the draw string at the bottom of the leg. idk, that might work. they look pretty lame with shrot legs, but id imagine they would look semi normal with tree trunks.

im 6'6'' and got a few shorts from AE, and they fit me really good. i rock a 36 inch waist, but i would assume that they would prob be okay in a smaller waist size.
