Love the heavy look of the shorts - an easy way to do this would be to make a pair of shorts out of pants (suede pants like these from a charity shop if you can find them otherwise heavy linen works well). Chop them off at the knee, and then roll them up to create the hem. Secure the hem by sewing a stitch at both seams instead of hemming them all the way around.
