Story

Meet The Sullivan Short. 

Gear yourself for weekend in comfort on the common walking route headed downtown on Sullivan before turning left onto Spring. Shopping can begin! #wearingwest14th  

Sizing

  • Style true to size 
  • Close to the body fit 
  • Relax leg fit
  • Length is 38cm (small) 
  • Model wears size SMALL
  • The model is 177.8cm (5’10”) tall with a 81.3cm (32”) bust, a 68.6cm (27”) waist and 92.7cm (36.5”) hips.

Designer Fitting Notes: We designed the Sullivan to be your structured short option with a close to the body fit especially around the waistline. This short fits true to size. We suggest trying on your standard size to start. If the short fits snug then it's too small and suggest you size up. The pressure point would be your waist, backside and hip area and we don't want this area to be snug. Note leather will give about a half of size over the lifetime of wear.


Journey To Sustainability

Designed in Bondi Beach, Australia

 

Sourced this super paper-thin lambskin leather from a gold standard sustainably certified tannery by the Leather Working Group based in Turkey. The hide is a by-product and was sourced from Turkey.  West 14th neck and swing tag labels are developed using Oeko-Tex Standard 100% organic cotton certified. 

 

Processed using a chrome base tanning process to develop this leather. 

 

Recycled material is used in the trimming details for this style. Perma Core ECO 100 by A&E is an ethically manufactured, industrial sewing thread, featuring fully recycled polyester. Hardware remains as metal. We use Natulon Recycled Zippers by YKK Corporation. The zipper’s tape is made from post consumer polyester waste, such as water bottles. Hardware remains as metal.

Manufactured this heirloom piece in Guangdong Province, China with quality control conducted in Hong Kong by our long term manufacturing partners.

 

Shipped in compostable satchels to our warehouse partners in Ingleburn, NSW Australia and then directly to our women around the globe. Safely packed in West 14th reusable duster bag made in Australia by Sisterworks social enterprise.

A Wardrobe Essential

I have been wanting some leather shorts for the longest time and West14th came through with the perfect pair. The design of these shorts are so wonderfully chic and stylish. They are nothing like the 'paper-bag' waistlines of the past, yet gently pleated in a few places. The belt loops are placed in the perfect position and fit the waistline lovely when using a belt. These shorts are going to be an all year wearable item. They are extremely light and soft for warmer weather but can be worn with thick tights and knee high boots with a warm, longer coat for winter. Couldn't help but purchase both colours as I loved them both. West14th have done it again with items I'll forever be wearing.
