Custom Made Lace Up Style Red Leather Shorts for Men
These red leather shorts fasten with lacing rather than a conventional waistband, which changes how they fit and who they fit. Lace-up leather is an old solution to a real problem, and it is worth explaining. They sit in our men leather shorts range.

Why lacing instead of a waistband
Leather has no stretch. A fabric short can rely on a little give in the weave and an elasticated waist; a leather one cannot, so the fit has to be exact or adjustable. Lacing solves this by giving several inches of range in the waist and, where the lacing runs down the side, in the hip and thigh too. It means one pair fits a wider range of bodies, and it means the fit can be adjusted as your own measurements change over the years — something a fixed leather waistband cannot do.
Lacing them properly
Tighten from the bottom of the lacing upward, working the slack toward the top, then tie off. Do not simply pull the top loops — that concentrates all the tension in one place and stresses the eyelets. Loosen the lacing before taking them off and leave it loose in storage; leather cord left under permanent tension stretches and the eyelets distort.
Red leather, practically
Red is not especially lightfast, so store these away from sunlight. Use only a clear conditioner — tinted ones are formulated for black and brown and will show. Wipe with a dry cloth after wear.
Where they get worn
Stage, festivals, clubs, photography, and warm-weather events. Plain black on top and plain boots or trainers below. Leather shorts are a deliberate garment, not a background one.
Stated plainly: a fashion garment, not protective equipment.
Sizing and made to order
Order by waist measurement; the lacing gives adjustment either side. For a precise fit send waist, hip, thigh, and the leg length you want with the Custom option. Sizes run XS to 5XL plus Custom, and every pair is cut after your order.

Tighten from the bottom upward, working the slack to the top, then tie off. Do not pull only the top loops.
Is the leather genuine?
Yes, real hide dyed red.
