1980s St Michael White Carpenter Style High Waisted Turn Up Shorts with Pockets

A classic flatteringly cut high waist pair of cotton shorts with added St Michael quality. They are a carpenter-style cut with a neat panelled front with 2 big big pockets, a small front pocket with a button and well-sewn turn ups that will stay turned up as they are cleverly stitched into place. Nothing worse than a turn up that keeps falling down, eh?  The back is an extra clean line with no pockets. They fasten with a zip and button. 

These are the perfect summer shorts but would look excellent with tights, boots or trainers in the winter months so can be enjoyed all year round!

Please note the shorts are loose on flow and are a larger size.

Buying Vintage

Don’t always believe the label - vintage sizes come up much smaller than modern sizes. 

To confirm your Vintage Akimbo size and for instructions on how to take your measurements, please check my Size Guide - all you need is a tape measure!

For reference, our model Flo is a UK 6-8 in Vintage Akimbo sizing.
