As October ends and November arrives, shorts season is over—except for postal workers, who still brave the cold in their signature shorts. Many posties prefer shorts year-round, even in cooler months, since walking all day makes the job hot work. They say shorts keep them cooler and prevent overheating, while trousers can become uncomfortably damp in rain. On Reddit, one postie explained that “skin is waterproof” and walking in shorts avoids sweat-soaked clothing. Some even turn it into a challenge, seeing who can wear shorts the longest in winter, with charity donations as the prize.
