Gurkha Short – Dark Navy High Count Twill
The Gurkha short, as their name suggests were originally worn by Gurkha soldiers. A relaxed style with a high waist and loose silhouette. This piece has the unique characteristics of EG, such as its flap pocket and frontal pleats.
The Gurkhas, or ‘Gorkhas’, were Nepalese soldiers who have been enlisted by a variety of military authorities, most notably the British Indian army between 1857 and 1947. The Gurkha Short itself is a high-waisted, barrel-legged short with multiple pleats and an adjustable belted waistband. Traditionally constructed from a tan-coloured cotton twill, the wide fit and pleated construction allow for improved airflow and ease of movement whilst fighting in the unrelenting conditions. Taking cues from the original - this is Daiki's take.
