Description
The Hakama Shorts in Washed Denim bring a fresh, worn in feel to one of Checks Downtown's most iconic silhouettes. Inspired by traditional Japanese hakama, these shorts feature deep pleats on each side that create a generous, architectural shape with real volume and movement. The stonewashed cotton denim finish gives them a soft, broken in character from the very first wear.
With a full rise and elasticated waist, the fit is forgiving and inclusive, sitting comfortably across all body types without needing a belt or precise waist measurement. The wide leg opening and relaxed drape make them easy to style with everything from oversized tees to camp collar shirts and relaxed knitwear.
A signature Checks silhouette in a fabric that feels like it's already yours.

About Checks Downtown
Checks Downtown is an Auckland-born streetwear label founded by Jordan Gibson in 2017. What started in a downstairs space on High Street has grown into one of Aotearoa's most exciting independent fashion brands, with a genderless approach that sits between street culture, luxurious fabrication and tailored design. The collections are playful, eclectic and not to be taken too seriously, but the quality and craftsmanship are anything but casual. From graphic tees and hoodies to structured outerwear and considered accessories, Checks Downtown defines a new generation of New Zealand fashion.
