Why zipped pockets matter on shorts

Open pockets on shorts are shallow by necessity — there is not much garment below the opening — so anything in them can work its way out when you sit, walk, or lean forward. Zipped pockets solve that entirely, which is why they are standard on travel and outdoor clothing. On leather they have a second advantage: the zip tape stiffens the pocket mouth, which stops soft hide from stretching into a permanently sagging shape around the opening.

Where they earn their place

Festivals, travel, crowded venues, and anywhere you are moving about with a phone, keys and a wallet on you. If you have ever lost something out of a shorts pocket on a ride or a dance floor, this is the pair to buy.

Looking after pocket zips

Pocket zips get used many more times than a fly zip does, so they wear faster. Run a little candle wax along the teeth once a year so the sliders do not drag, and close them before hanging the shorts — an open pocket zip lets the pocket mouth splay and the tape distort. Wipe around them with a dry cloth rather than a damp one; moisture in the teeth is what corrodes plating.

Brown sheepskin

Light and soft, so the shorts drape rather than stiffening at the thigh. Brown fades in strong sunlight toward a dull grey-tan, so store them away from windows and use a clear conditioner once a year.

Stated plainly: a fashion garment, not protective equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why zipped pockets rather than open ones?

Shorts pockets are shallow, so contents work their way out. Zips hold them and stiffen the pocket mouth so soft leather does not sag.

Will the pocket zips wear out?

They are used more often than a fly zip, so wax the teeth once a year. A worn slider can be replaced on its own.

Should I store them zipped?

Yes, all zips closed, so the pocket mouths do not splay.

Is the leather genuine?

Yes, real sheepskin leather.

Will the brown fade?

In strong sunlight, toward a dull grey-tan. Store them away from windows.

Do you offer custom sizing?

Yes. Choose Custom and send waist, hip, thigh, and leg length.

Is shipping free?

Yes, free worldwide shipping and secure checkout.
