Same! I had a few leg surgeries as a kid and liked to cover the scars, but even now that they're faded, I like just picking out some jeans and not having to think about it. I've never really had an issue with my legs getting too hot, either, though where I live it's cold more often than not.
We're gonna drop shit on our pants, it's gonna be ketchup, or grease, or oil, or something, you wanna walk around with stained pants, or do you wanna walk around with stained shorts. It's a no brainer.
