Meindl »Island« Men's Deerskin Shorts

The »Island« men's shorts by Meindl impress with their distinctive sporty style and high-quality craftsmanship from chamois-tanned deerskin. With two side pockets, generous cargo pockets, and buttoned back pockets, these shorts offer enough space for all the essentials of daily life.Chamois tanning, one of the oldest and most traditional tanning methods, uses no chemicals. Anyone who has ever worn chamois-tanned leather trousers knows the incomparably pleasant feel and the special charm of the leather. Deerskin is scarce and the chamois tanning process extremely elaborate, therefore, trousers like this are absolute rarities. No other type of leather offers the velvety soft quality of these hides.The maple colour of these short leather trousers comes from extracts of tree bark from Central American woods, which are environmentally- and skin-friendly. This colour is applied multiple times to only the outside of the leather. The soft inside shows a light, natural colour that is the result of chamois tanning. However, the real secret lies in Meindl's method of aging the trousers, creating a natural patina that usually only develops after decades of wear.These shorts are not just a timeless garment but also a statement of quality, craftsmanship, and sustainability.
