The supple full-grain leather construction moves naturally with your body while maintaining a structured, commanding presence. Signature full-length exposed zippers run vertically along the outer seams from waist to hem, creating dramatic visual interest and allowing for adjustable styling—wear them fully zipped for a sleek look or partially unzipped for edgy, customizable venting. Premium metal zipper pulls add functional hardware detailing. The mid-thigh length creates balanced proportions that flatter most body types.

The versatile black colorway with bold zipper details pairs beautifully with neutrals, metallics, and bold colors alike—these shorts are designed for the man who commands attention and refuses to blend in.

Size Guide

Our side-zipper leather shorts are crafted to standard men's sizing with a modern slim fit. We recommend ordering your usual waist size—the premium leather will mold to your body over the first few wears for a personalized, second-skin fit. The side zippers allow for some adjustability in fit. For detailed measurements including waist, hip, rise, inseam, and thigh circumference, please refer to our size chart. If you're between sizes or prefer a more relaxed fit, consider sizing up. Made-to-order customization available upon request.

Premium Material Quality

Crafted exclusively from full-grain leather—the highest quality leather available—these shorts showcase the natural grain, texture, and character marks that make each piece truly one-of-a-kind. Unlike corrected-grain or bonded leather, full-grain leather retains the hide's strongest fibers, ensuring exceptional durability and a rich patina that develops beautifully over time. The deep black finish is achieved through expert dyeing techniques that penetrate the leather while preserving its natural breathability and supple texture. Premium heavy-duty metal YKK zippers run the full length of each outer seam, hand-installed for smooth operation, lasting durability, and bold visual impact. The zippers are reinforced at stress points to ensure they withstand repeated use. Fully lined with breathable cotton twill for comfort against skin, these shorts are built to last decades, not seasons. The leather's natural oils provide inherent water resistance while maintaining breathability. Expect subtle variations in grain and tone—these are hallmarks of authentic artisan leather, not flaws.

Care Instructions

Cleaning: Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a leather-specific cleaner formulated for black leather and follow with conditioning.
Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Avoid plastic bags—leather needs to breathe. Ensure zippers are fully closed before storage to maintain their shape.
Conditioning: Apply quality leather conditioner every 6-12 months to maintain suppleness and prevent drying. Use products designed for black leather to preserve color depth. Spot-test first on an inconspicuous area.
Water exposure: If wet, pat dry immediately with a soft cloth and air-dry naturally away from heat. Never use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers.
Hardware care: Wipe metal zippers and pulls with a dry cloth to maintain shine. Avoid harsh chemicals that may tarnish the finish. Ensure zippers glide smoothly—if they stick, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite.
Zipper maintenance: Open and close zippers gently to prevent stress on the leather. Store with zippers fully closed to maintain alignment.
