DIY Shorts

How to turn your old trousers into new shorts, with help from Men's Health Fashion Editor, Azeez Jacobs
See video

There were no Hurley Phantom 4D Hyperstretch boardies when your dad was a lad. He simply took a pair of trousers that had worn-through at the knees and then cut them down to size.

In this video we’ll show you how you can make your own cut-offs.

An easy way to create a new pair of shorts is to recycle a pair of jeans, just remember that you are creating these pants because they’re comfortable. They shouldn’t stop circulation. So please don’t mess with the Zohan.

The best bit?

You can get away without having any sewing skills.
