Suede Shorts

These suede shorts land high on the hip with a compact, tailored fit that emphasizes a sharp, unbroken line. The "Double Espresso" finish has a tactile, nap-heavy texture, while the exposed side zipper and slant pockets lean into a utilitarian, late-nineties grit. Pair them with an oversized button-down or a sheer knit to balance the abbreviated hem.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: While the exterior is 100% leather, the garment requires a polyester-spandex lining, which acts as a synthetic barrier against the skin with limited breathability. The requirement for specialized professional cleaning often signals the use of chemical solvents during the tanning and finishing processes, which can leave residues of concern.
