If you want a pair, buy some new shorts and cut off 5 inches.
Personally, I'm ecstatic that shorts are longer. I like mine to end right at the knee or just below. Now that shorts are actually a bit longer, I can finally buy some that fit me comfortably. You should have tried being 6'+ tall in the 80's. Those short shorts were shorter than my underwear... thank god spandex bike shorts were acceptable to wear under gym shorts back then.

It is no different than the threads you start to complain about something and somebody might have an answer besides scissors.
The 5" shorter FotL ones I have are less than 5 years old and I am not a big fan of the all synthetic running shorts. I am not just being cheap, I also lounge around or run errands in these because they are cotton and very comfortable. They are somewhere between a very thin sweat and thick t-shirt jersey type material.
And as I said, I have short legs, so your over the knee shorts go half way down my calf.
I have not been to every store, so maybe there is a place where old people can still find uncool clothing. I may end up buying on-line, but clothing is one of the things I really like to have in my hands and try on before buying.
