Like adding store bought socks to the mesh shorts? You sure could! You would probably want to make the shorts and put the socks on and tack the mesh to them in many places on the inside. It would be hard to sew them on with a machine because the stiching might show or the socks may not stretch as well. I did a pair where I had to join the peices with lots of individual tacking stitches, it took a while but itnwas a great result.
