Gurkha Short – Charcoal Tropical Wool
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 shorts feature a wide waistband and at the centred front is a 2-button closure with an openable belt loop with a button closure. The wearer's left side has a big flap pocket with a button closure - double welted pocket. Functionally, you can stash your direct needs.
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.
