Men Cool Fashion Real Sheepskin Black Leather Shorts

Fit is the whole problem with leather shorts. Fabric shorts forgive a rough size because the weave gives; leather does not give at all. Getting the measurements right at the point of ordering is therefore the single thing that determines whether you wear these or not, so this page sets out exactly how. They sit in our men leather shorts range.

• Material: Genuine sheepskin leather
• Fit: Clean fashion cut
• Closure: Zip fly with a button waist
• Color: Black
• Care: Dry cloth, condition once a year, hang rather than fold

The four measurements that matter

Waist — measured where you actually wear the waistband, not at your natural waist, which is usually higher. Hip — around the fullest part of the seat; this is the measurement that decides whether you can sit down comfortably. Thigh — around the fullest part of one leg; the most common cause of leather trousers and shorts not fitting, particularly for anyone who cycles or trains. Leg length — from the crotch seam to where you want the hem. Send all four with the Custom option and the fit is settled.

Why thigh measurement causes most problems

Standard sizing scales the thigh in proportion to the waist. Plenty of people do not follow that proportion — a 32-inch waist with cyclist's thighs is common — and in fabric it barely matters. In leather it is the difference between comfortable and unwearable, because there is no give to absorb the mismatch. If you know your thigh is out of proportion to your waist, order Custom rather than a standard size.

What can be altered later

Leg length can be shortened by any alterations shop. The waist can usually be taken in a small amount at the back seam. What cannot be changed is a thigh cut too narrow — there is no seam allowance to release. That is why the thigh is the measurement to get right first time.

Stated plainly: a fashion garment, not protective equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which measurements should I send?

Waist where you wear the band, hip at the fullest point, thigh at the fullest point, and leg length from the crotch seam.

Why does the thigh matter so much?

Standard sizing scales the thigh to the waist. Leather has no give to absorb a mismatch, so an out-of-proportion thigh needs a custom cut.

Can the shorts be altered afterwards?

Length can be shortened and the waist taken in slightly. A too-narrow thigh cannot be let out.

Does custom sizing cost extra?

No. Custom measurements are included.

Is the leather genuine?

Yes, real sheepskin leather.

How should I store them?

Hanging rather than folded, so creases do not set into the seat.

Is shipping free?

Yes, free worldwide shipping and secure checkout.
