Ever since I wrote about leather shorts in April, I’ve been getting blog traffic from people searching for the phrase “where can I buy leather shorts.”
I like to be helpful so I’ve been keeping an eye out for interesting vintage options. Here they are. Click the photos to shop.

Maybe it’s time for Nair to do a “Who wears leather shorts?” commercial.

Sorry, but I can’t see the words “leather shorts” without picturing a big German guy in leiderhosen. Where’s my beer and schnitzel?
Beautiful Queen Michelle will chase that image right out of your head: http://wendybrandes.com/blog/2010/04/leather-shorts-leader-and-more-double-denim/
Agreed. I am now convinced.
these are pretty hot actually
Something about leather shorts doesn’t make a lot of sense, but that’s not the point of fashion, is it?
I used to have such a great pair, but leather definitely has a shelf life. Guess I need new ones!
I NEED the boots that the girl in the yellow shorts has. simple, black, “narrow” calved. : )
Would these work? http://tinyurl.com/2fevg75
Red leather shorts. WANT!
Those orange ones are actually perfect! Shorts do not work for me at all, but all these make me wish they did!
I have a brown pair and have been looking for a black pair, I really like the colourful ones though!!
ooo i love the first pair! such a great piece for fall:)
i love leather shorts!
I like the new ring design
Thank you for the mention
xx

I love that top pair. All those vintage ones are so high-waisted it’s unreal! They’re all Mertzed out! I’d love some really minimalist black ones, low-waisted of course.
(my captcha is “micro,” haw. “Micro” is the “length” of shorts all teenage girls wear here. Everyone looks like Jodie Foster in “Taxi Driver.”)
That last pair would do for me!
Love it.. Almost tempted to try one of the pastel colored ones.
So cute! I have a pair of vintage leather pants that I never wear. Maybe I should chop them into shorts? Actually I have a vintage suede pair, too. Hmm. Ideas! 😉 Thanks! xoxo
The deep red one is dead amazing. I am having visions of it tucked into a sheer black long-sleeved chiffon top, windswept bedhead and black suede ankleboots.
Totally in love with the last pair. And YAY, you’re almost at 100%! Was there ever any doubt?
Now I just need people to really order those rings! Because it’s no good if I manufacture them and wind up sitting on a big pile of inventory. So tell all your friends!
Some of my big donations have come from people who are buying other things from my collection, so those aren’t counted as purchases of the new rings.
Hmmm, I kinda like the idea of leather shorts but those pairs are all way too long. Even lederhosen-wearing men show off more leg than that.
I swear my mom owned those bronze pair back in the eighties. I believe she wore them with an off white, silky shirt that had shoulder pads that would make any football player weep with envy.
oh i like the top ones and the nasty gals. so glad you almost have all the pledges needed. yay!

It´s a good idea with these words like “OMG, GaGa, GO!”
Have a nice day! xo.
