Description
The Hakama Shorts in Olive take the ease and movement of traditional Japanese silhouettes and translate them into an everyday staple. Made from durable 100% cotton drill, they feature a generous wide leg with deep pleats on each side, creating the signature Hakama volume and a relaxed drape that suits all body types.
The elasticated waistband makes sizing flexible and comfortable, so we recommend ordering your usual shorts size. A full rise and roomy shape add to the effortless wearability, while side entry pockets and flapped back pockets provide clean utility and structure.
A versatile warm weather essential, designed to move with you and elevate simple fits with thoughtful shape and character.
