gajiroc’s signature inverted box-pleated trousers are reimagined here as shorts, crafted from Japanese cotton gabardine for just the right thickness, excellent durability, and a firm texture.

This particular version undergoes a mud-dye process on Amami Ōshima Island to establish a light base tone, followed by multiple layers of indigo dye to achieve its distinctive final color.

First, an extract from the bishop wood tree and the island’s unique mud create a calm, natural hue, which is then enhanced with indigo to produce a deep indigo shade with smoky undertones. 

Wear it as a set with our fatigue jacket for a unified look or style it solo for a striking statement. 

Balancing traditional dyeing methods with a modern silhouette, these shorts are a standout piece suitable for transitional seasons all the way through summer.
