Are USMC Nylon Tricot Green Silkies Extinct?

Doesn't seem like that long ago when I would post a dozen or more pictures of a dozen or more guys (usually U.S. Marines) wearing their nylon "green silkies" (their term) shorts. A lot of the time they were wearing them for underwear (who can blame them) under their uniforms. This is the only picture I have come across in several months. This would hardly have been worthy of posting at one time since it seems sort of staged like a porn promo still. But then, would a porn actor really get a permanent USMC tat like this guy? My only complaint is that the guy is reaching inside his nylon shorts for the goods when anyone who wears these knows it's all about feeling those silky shorts on the outside with the goods receiving the benefit on the inside.

So all I can say is to go back and look at some of the previously posted pics of these guys enjoying their nylon green silkies and pretend they are new 'cause there doesn't seem to be any more out there--unless someone else wants to take some pictures of their own? Most of the pictures that guys send me (not that many do) are ones I've already posted but it takes too long to go through all of them to find out. Luckily I have an excellent nylon memory even if I don't always know where I left my car keys.

Oh yeah, Soffee is still making them and guys are always selling them on ebay. I actually did see a marine wearing a pair last week on a base jogging but I can exactly ask him to post for my blog. But it's a nice fantasy......

Sorry, forgot about this site. What I mean was more "Are PICTURES of Guys Wearing Green Silkies Extinct?" It's worth going back and looking at earlier posts.

The EXCHANGE is still selling them at $6.50 each. And they are listed as "Best Sellers." So, apparently, the guys in the Service still love them and probably use them for underwear as well as running.

Trust me, I combed every known public site looking for guys wearing green silkies and even some military sites. Most were not tagged so it meant going through hundreds of pictures hoping to find some nylon shorts wearing guys. I really did post quite a few if you go back and look at earlier listings. Virtually every picture someone has send me is already posted--but you can still try!
