Shop Leather Shorts by Style
Four cuts from the shortest mini to a tailored Bermuda. All in lightweight lambskin.
Choosing Your Leather Shorts
Leather shorts are the summer answer to leather pants — the same material, none of the heat. They also fit more easily, because a shorter inseam removes the two measurements that cause most fitting problems.
Bermuda and tailored cuts read closest to trousers and work for daytime. Mini and high-waisted are evening pieces.
Fit & Sizing
Waist and hip are the measurements that matter. Bermuda and tailored cuts are the most forgiving; mini is the least. Size to your true natural waist rather than your jeans size — the two rarely match.
Leather Shorts Through the New Zealand Seasons
November to February, with Bermuda lengths carrying into March. In lightweight lambskin they are comfortable through summer evenings, when temperatures drop noticeably after sunset.
Common Asked Queries
Frequently Asked Questions
Are leather shorts practical for a New Zealand summer?
In lightweight lambskin, yes — particularly for evenings, when temperatures drop after sunset. For hot afternoons a leather skirt in a lighter weight is the more comfortable choice.
How should leather shorts fit?
Snug at the waist, easy through the hip and thigh, with room to sit comfortably. Leather has no stretch, so size to your true waist measurement.
What do you wear with leather shorts?
A blazer and tailored shorts read as a summer suit. Mini shorts balance an oversized top or a leather vest. Bermuda lengths work with almost anything.
