The Lord Shorts are our summer salute to one of the most hard-wearing, practical garments ever made — the carpenter trouser. Worn by generations of tradesmen, makers and grafters, these trousers were built for long days on-site, with reinforced stitching, tool pockets and loops designed for function over fashion.

We’ve taken that timeless silhouette and reworked it for warmer days — keeping the workwear DNA intact but cutting it above the knee. Every detail nods to the original: from the hammer loop and side utility pocket, to the heavyweight canvas that softens with wear but holds its shape through the seasons.

Made for grafting in the garden, days in the workshop or heading off-grid for a weekend away — these are shorts with a story, shaped by the past and built for the here and now.
