x REVOLVE Abilene Short

These LAMARQUE shorts are cut with a high-rise waist and a sharp, abbreviated hem that sits high on the thigh. The natural cowhide hair provides a dense, tactile weight that holds the structure of the garment, while the silver-toned side zip pockets add a utilitarian edge to the organic, irregular pattern of the hide. Pair these with an oversized, structured blazer to balance the abbreviated silhouette.

Safety Rating: Poor

Analysis: While the exterior is genuine cowhide, the garment requires a polyester lining, which sits directly against the skin and lacks the breathability of natural fibers. The requirement for professional leather cleaning indicates the use of complex chemical tanning agents and finishing treatments that can be irritating to sensitive skin.
