You write XL, good for 38/40". That is not correct. The shorts are too small for a waist like that size. should be 2xl for 40" waist

Great pair of shorts, Well made and will last for ages, I am sure. As for size, I ordered XXL and they are prefect for my waist hitting the wrong side of 40+ plus inches There is an elasticated waist which helps and ensures a nice tight fit. The guys at Leathererotics have made these shorts with a zip at the rear, I have no idea why they placed so a great zip at the rear :) Well done guys :) The spike pad at the front is great too, So of keeps the wearers attention, It good that it can be removed and the sorts revert back to be normal leather pants, Which you can easily wear out under your jeans etc. Great item, Well made, Good price, Great company with good customer service

Fantastic soft leather, superb quality and finish. Highly recommended. Delivery excellent too.

Better than I had expected and delivered very quickly

The last two purchases from Leatherotics some years ago, are almost as good as the day they were purchased, so with no hesitation we 'expanded our wardrobe'. Just as with the other items, the shorts are beautifully made and the leather is soo soo soft and supple. Other companys may cut cost's on things like zips and buckles. However, as before, the fastening's on Leatherotics seem to be of a high quality. Inspecting the cut, fit, workmanship and quality of material you can tell that they are a company who are not just about making money, but are about making good quality items that last. Six days from paypal payment to receiving the items here in New Zealand. Im very impressed.. My only complaint is that the website has no picture of the rear of the garment, which makes you suspicious that they may have cut cost's around there, but my fear's were laid to rest when it arrived as the garment is well made all around. I left the garment in the bedroom and the smell of fresh, high quality leather is wafting through the house :-D I bought them for bedroom use only, but looking at the quality of them, they warrant public viewing :-) Note: I enjoy pain more than the next man, but that 'studded circle' is sharp beyond beleif.. You've been warned ;-)

Thank you. I ordered based on recommendation from thisgirl blog. I received this yesterday and have worn it all day today. I am delighted by the quality and fit. I have not tested the spikes yet, but other than that, it is exactly what I wanted. I love the softness of the leather counterbalanced by the lockable belts and zips. Also, many thanks for you very prompt delivery and service.
