A short short with a firm fit and room through the thigh. Designed to flatter the waist while allowing easy movement.
FIT & FEATURES
• Adjustable waist tabs • Shorter hem with generous thigh allowance • 4 x pockets
FABRIC
Durable and classic, 100% Cotton Drill. We recommend an initial firm fit, as our cotton relaxes with wear. It ís similar to true denim, where the fibres soften the more you wear it.
SIZING
The Tinnie Shorts are a firmer fit around the hips. They have the shortest inseam of all our shorts. Compare your hip measurement to the Size Chart below to get the perfect fit.
Features
• Adjustable waist tabs
• Shorter hem with generous thigh allowance
• 100% Fairtrade 310 gsm cotton drill
• 1x d-ring
• YKK Zip
Our Fabric
We make all our classic styles from a heavy duty 310 gsm 100% Fairtrade cotton drill, with a lightly brushed finished. This means it’s heavy duty, breathable and soft to the touch.
As this is natural material, this fabric does have its limitations: like most 100% cottons, with constant wear, tear and laundering, the cotton can weaken over time. So whilst our styles are designed for long term, day to day use, if you are kneeling on abrasive surfaces regularly, we suggest investing in some knee pads to avoid rips and holes.
Sizing Tips
The Tinnie Shorts run true to SÜK size, with a firmer fit.
We’ve designed this guide to make choosing your size as simple and accurate as possible, based on both our measurements and real customer fittings.
Our sizing follows Australian numerical sizing. As there’s no universal standard across brands, your size may vary elsewhere. This guide is the best way to find your fit in SÜK.
Find Your Size
1. Measure your body
Bust – measure around the fullest part of your chest. Keep the tape measure firm and straight, wrap it under your arms and across your shoulder blades.
Waist – measure around your natural waistline, the narrowest part of your torso that sits above your hips, where you would like the waistline of your new gear to sit.
Hips - measure the fullest part of your hips and bum.
2. Use your largest measurement
Match your measurements to the chart below using your largest measurement (this is usually your hips).
This ensures the garment fits comfortably across your body.
3. Consider how you like your fit & adjust for your body
Prefer a firm fit? You can size down
Prefer a relaxed fit? Size Up
Between sizes? Most customers choose the larger size for comfort and the ability to cinch the waist using the adjusters
Important: Where you wear your waistband
All our styles are designed to sit high on the waist (except our Mid-Rise Cargo Pants).
Wear them high-waisted → stay true to size or size down
Wear them mid or low rise → consider sizing up or measure where you would like them to sit and compare this measurement to the waist measurement in the chart
All our garments have waist adjusters, allowing the waist to be brought in by up to 10cm.
Real Fit Insights
From our in-store fittings and customer feedback:
Looking for a firm fit? You can size down in our Cotton Drill. This is because the fabric will relax with wear
In-between sizes? Most customers size up when between sizes for comfort, and the waist can be cinched in for a great fit.
Your height and torso length matter: taller customers may prefer more room through the rise and size up

Body Length for Suits (Short vs Long)
Some suits are available in short body and long body options. This refers to your torso length, not your height or inseam length.
If you usually get a wedgie in a jumpsuit, get the LONG BODY
Never had this issue before, get the SHORT BODY
Generally, if you are taller than 180cm, we recommend the Brumby or Roper suits with adjustable straps for extra torso length, and double-check the inseam length will work for you.
The SÜK team says: “Our staff like to size down from their pants sizing for a snug fit in our Brumby, Lagoon and Yard suits. Our Roper and Ringer suits are already fitted and true to size”
Garment Measurements
We provide individual garment measurements on every single one of our items! If you're someone who loves that extra detail, please have a read on the specific garment page. We also try to display the size each model is wearing and their measurements to help you.
These measurements are taken from the flattened physical garment, and then doubled to achieve an accurate measurement. Each chart is specific to each individual style. There is a variation of 1-2cm per garment, as our styles are prewashed and pre-shrunk before we send them to you.
You can use the garment measurements and measure an existing comfy item of clothing and compare it to our chart.
Fabric Notes
Drill: Durable and classic. We recommend an initial firm fit, as our cotton relaxes with wear. It’s similar to true denim, where the fibres soften the more you wear it. Washing will help bring it back to its original firmness.
Denim: Our denim offers the most reliable, true-to-size fit. It has a natural give that conforms to your body over time while maintaining its shape. If you are buying Denim, order your standard size.
Canvas: Built for heavy-duty protection, our Canvas is a thick, highly rigid material with zero stretch. It requires a break-in period. Fit Tip: If you need more room for bending and moving, or if you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up.
Ripstop: Lightweight but incredibly tough, Ripstop is a zero-stretch fabric. Because it does not yield around the hips or waist, we strongly recommend sizing up if you are between sizes or prefer a looser, more comfortable fit for active work.
Measuring Tips
Measure in your underwear where possible Keep the tape firm but not tight Ensure the tape sits flat
Style Note
All our pants are designed to be worn higher on your waist, no plumbers’ crack here. Wearing them lower on your hips may change how the size feels. Remember, the waist is adjustable on all our garments.

I absolutely love SÜK! As a woman working in window cleaning, it can be surprisingly hard to find workwear that is actually functional and durable but still makes me feel good and confident wearing it. Also can wear it for hikes, garden work and go to the beach.
I’ve been wearing my SÜK suits constantly for work, and they’ve honestly become my uniform. They’re comfortable, practical, have all the pockets I need, and I love that I can do a physically demanding and messy job while still feeling like myself.
I also get people asking me all the time where my workwear is from, especially other people who work in cleaning and construction.
Really grateful I found this brand. Women deserve workwear that’s made for us without having to sacrifice style or functionality. 🤎
I bought the tinny shorts for work as a creative in a ceramics studio. I wear leggings underneath in the winter and in warmer months the shorts on their own. They cinch at the waist perfectly but have plenty of fabric in the thighs for me to move, squat and bend freely. Absolutely love their buttery softness which is tough enough to withstand anything my day might throw at them.
Just received the shorts and I'm obsessed!!! Been on the hunt for a pair of work shorts and these are IT! I bought 3 and they are fantastic. Bought black, burgundy, and black. They feel fantastic and look great! I bought a size 10.
Love these - super comfortable for work, the shorter leg is great for summer (no folding). I would recommend going into store to try them on. I'm generally a size 12 but went with a 14 in the Tinnie Short / 12 in the Utility Shorts / 10 in the Gunnee - hope that helps!
They loosen up quite a lot so the waist adjusters are perfect. Flexible and comfortable. However i was suprised to find that after 5 washes there are threads loose. Im gonna contact Suk about it
I got the tinnie shorts for my partner after she'd been hunting everywhere for a pair of 'stubby' type shorts for outdoor work and she absolutely loved them! Perfect fit, super sturdy build and quickly became her staple for just about everything everyday.
Bought these so I had some durable, yet breathable, work shorts for working around the farm. They fit absolutely perfect! Easy to move around in and I don’t feel like they’re going to rip in the seams when I’m squatting. Shipping was also super fast, about to place a second order now! So glad I bit the bullet, I want to live in these!
Ones’ butt looks great in these beauties. Ready to hike, fix something, party or loll about, they’re a versatile and well-made pair of duds.
Size chart not accurate: it indicated i’d be a twelve. Luckily I tried on a friend’s and ordered a 10! Perfect loose fit.
Originally I ordered the size 16 shorts as I'm size 16 across the board normally, these came up way too small so I had to swap them for the size 20. The return was made really easy and no extra money left my account. I love the shorts now that they fit and I'll hopefully get a lot of wear out of them.
These are like 70s dreaming. Possibly a tiny bit short to wear up and down ladders on the worksite, but nothing a pair of large grannie undies underneath can’t fix 😅
Absolutely love these! I recommend sizing up. Originally bought the 10 but exchanged for the 12. Having the adjustable straps on the back of the waist band is perfect as I find my weight fluctuates throughout the month so it’s great to have a pair of pants that’ll fit me as I fluctuate!!
Shorts are perfect....I love them. They fit well, comfortable, look good, great colour, only issue I had was, my size wasn't available in other colours I wanted. Would have bought more. Postage was quick.
I am a 12-14 and size 14 are a great fit.
Super comfy and practical for a busy active gal who also enjoys a cheeky day spent just chilling in the garden.
Most beautiful deep green you could imagine. I know these shorts are just going to get better with everyday wear and tear.
I was originally supplied with the wrong size but the SÜK team fixed sorted it for me right away. Shout out to Chloe, they’re a real one.
Support Aussie businesses and buy these shorts!!
I am obsessed! I knew these would be good, but I wasn't expecting to love them as much as I do. Flattering, comfrotable, practical and so versatile, I will be buying another pair!
My red Tinnies are so darn cute and I can’t wait to get them in a few more colours! I first took them on holiday and now I wear them everywhere as the weather is warming up. I have a curvy lower body and adore that it’s high waisted to cover the belly, and wider around the thighs. I have big thighs and these have plenty of space in the legs. I find them comfy to sit in and flattering on my figure.
These shorts are the goat. I’m between sizes so sized up and they are perfect. Was wearing them walking the dogs this morning and I forgot I was wearing shorts, they are that comfortable. If I had the drawer space I’d buy a pair in every colour but had to settle for just two. Buy some, you won’t regret it.
Love both my shorts! So comfy and practical! True to size! I actually had a small default with the button on one pair when I reccieved my package and the team handled it like absolute legends very prompty. Thank you ❤️
