Tailored shorts in genuine black leather, cut high at the waist so the line stays long. The leather is the soft, supple sort that warms to the wearer — structured enough to hold its shape, quiet enough to move. Fully lined. A clean front button closure and two pockets in front, two in back.

In excellent condition, looks unworn. There are two light fold lines on the back which don't distract from the piece (see pictures).

A foundational black piece — the kind of piece a wardrobe is built around rather than decorated with.
