These are leather short shorts. I bought them at a used clothing store and they have been stored without being worn. Regarding the length, when worn by someone 157 cm tall, they are shorts that show the thighs quite a bit. You can think of them as having a culotte-like length that isn't too short. The waist has a zipper and hook, but the back is elastic, making it easy to stretch and shrink. Thank you for looking. Size: M
