Our Story
TooShorts are a bold statement in the world of legwear. Far from your typical trunks, boxers, or briefs, our shorts are a patchwork masterpiece, born from the vibrant synergy of waste fabric. Inspired by the vivid Kitenge and Kanga prints of Kenya, each pair is a celebration of colour and culture.
Our mission? To transform waste material into the most daringly short, unapologetically bold legwear you've ever seen. TooShorts are designed for function and flair, offering a full leg tan, unrestricted movement, and spacious pockets that can hold a full beer or multiple phones with ease. With an elasticated waist and drawstring combo, a perfect fit is ensured for everyone.

Will
Raised in the depths of the Cornish countryside, roaming free and dressing wild; he might have been mistaken for a miniature Robin Hood.
Forever an active person and following a stint in the Royal Marines, Will decided fitness and coaching was his passion. He has been running a personal training business in St. Ives, Cornwall, ever since.

Nestled in the heart of Kenya's breathtaking landscapes, Harry serves as the esteemed chair of the LEAF charity, a cause close to our hearts and one we proudly support. Beyond his fascination with reptiles, he is a researcher, specializing in snakebite treatment, merging his love for nature with lifesaving medical expertise.
