MAKEMECHIC Houndstooth Plaid Pleated Shorts

Tweed shorts in a black and white houndstooth, high at the waist with a wide leg and pleats at the front, cut as a skort so the leg reads as a skirt from the front. They are the shorts for a cold office and a wool coat, not for a beach. One colourway, and the tweed has no give.

Tweed is stiff and warm, and this pair has no stretch to forgive a size, so take the waist measurement before the letter. The high waist meets a tucked knit at the natural waistline. They want a dry clean or a careful cold hand wash, and they hang without a crease.

One of 213 on the skirts, shorts and pants rail in the MAKEMECHIC lineup. It also answers to shorts. A size letter describes the garment rather than a body, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
