I think Rick's interpretations are too left-field and obscure to really be called "the best", if you're talking about classic garments.

In general the construction and shape of his shorts are always nice and comfortable with a generous cut through the crotch and thigh. It's a clever balance as for some of the designs like the basket swingers you don't get the "dumpy" seat like with the pods but the crotch and legs are dropped together so you still get a distinct "shorts" look a-la basketball shorts (presumably where the name in part comes from) but with a total width (edge of pants to edge of pants) still being somewhat narrow so you get the slimming, elongated silhouette while not needing to make each leg hole/thigh width too narrow as to be tight.
as for general quality, i still hate those fucking L-shaped seams on pods (and other garments), since they make the fabric rip very easily. i wish he would use a curved seam instead.

^ I agree that the sharp angle seam of the pod crotch, although brought up and forward as to not be truly at the center base (like it is on standard jeans) is suboptimal. My judgment on it may be biased in terms of performance and wear because I was a bit more careful after reading about it on here.
It is possible that NASA has gone with a lower stitchcount for that reason but they are wide wide and certainly could have doubled it without much fabric compromise. Eh, who knows. Lots of interesting stories from the heyday of NASA in the 60s though and how they brought in Playtex bra sewers to construct the space suits :)www.AlbertHuangMD.com - Digital Portfolio Of Projects & Designs
