Fit, Feel & Style

Designed with a contemporary relaxed fit that prioritizes comfort without sacrificing style, these black leather shorts feature a ribbed elastic waistband that ensures a secure, comfortable fit throughout the day. The supple full-grain leather construction moves naturally with your body while maintaining a clean, structured silhouette. Functional details include front slash pockets with clean edges, and signature side-hem zippers with metal pulls that add adjustable styling options and utilitarian edge. The mid-thigh length creates balanced proportions that flatter most body types. Style these shorts with a fitted black tee and high-top sneakers for street-ready style, pair with a polo shirt for elevated casual, or layer with a bomber jacket for full urban sophistication. The versatile black colorway anchors any outfit—pair with neutrals for monochrome elegance, earth tones for organic warmth, or bold colors for statement contrast. The ribbed waistband adds athletic-inspired comfort while maintaining a refined aesthetic.

Size Guide

Our ribbed-waistband leather shorts feature an elasticized ribbed waistband for flexible sizing. We recommend ordering your usual waist size—the ribbed elastic provides comfortable stretch and secure hold, and the premium leather will mold to your body over the first few wears for a personalized fit. For detailed measurements including waist range, hip, rise, inseam, and thigh circumference, please refer to our size chart. If you prefer a looser, 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. The ribbed elastic waistband features premium knit construction for superior comfort and lasting elasticity. Functional metal zippers are hand-installed at the side hems for smooth operation and adjustable styling. 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, making them surprisingly comfortable even in warmer weather. 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.
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 with a dry cloth to maintain shine. Avoid harsh chemicals that may tarnish the finish. Ensure zippers are fully closed before storage.
Waistband care: The ribbed elastic waistband should be stored flat or hung to maintain elasticity. Avoid overstretching when not in use.
