I would have to say I probably had every style and every color and the shirts too. Don't forget about Hang Ten too.

I also had every color. I also had a bunch of Quicksilver shorts/swim suits. I recall when I think OP shorts (at least in NYC) were no longer in style. It was when I was sent home by my school because the OP shorts were deemed inappropriate (maybe it just how they looked on me; probably too short).

I loved my OP shorts as a kid. My friend Neil STILL wears them. He refuses to get with the times & wear cargo shorts. We give him hell about his "daisy dukes". Mongoosekid, do you mean Birdwell Beach Britches? Had those too.
