■Shorts That Strike the Perfect Balance Between Casual and Elegant
Eight G presents these shorts, which feature a light, airy length and incorporate the classic “Wabash stripe” pattern found in workwear.
While retaining the casual, laid-back feel characteristic of shorts, the inclusion of classic design elements and details creates a piece that seamlessly fits into a summer work style.
Another appealing feature is how the stripes, rendered as a series of dots, lend an elegant impression—quite unlike what you’d typically expect from shorts.
■ A Romantic, Old-World Design
The Wabash stripe has been used in workwear since the early 20th century.
Created using a “discharge print” technique—where the indigo dye is removed from the denim—this design features a dotted stripe pattern said to evoke the flow of the Wabash River in Indiana, USA.
Although it disappeared from the market after the 1970s due to production efficiency concerns, it remains a timeless favorite among vintage enthusiasts.
■ Classic Workwear Construction
Features elements from 1930s vintage work pants throughout, such as double-welt pockets, side pockets derived from painter’s pants, and a cinch belt at the waist.
With a total of seven pockets—including a double-layered left back pocket—the functionality is undeniable.
You can enjoy the authentic look of workwear while still experiencing the lightness of shorts.
Playful touches are also evident in the stitching around the pockets and the fastenings, ensuring these details make a strong statement.
They pair perfectly with work shirts and boots, of course, but also look great in a simple outfit paired with a T-shirt.
■ A slightly relaxed, above-the-knee silhouette
While shorts often emphasize a casual vibe, the balance of the length and hem width gives these a touch of sophistication.
Retaining the relaxed feel unique to shorts, this magical silhouette offers a mature, polished look that pairs easily with a wide range of tops.
Made in Japan at 8G’s exclusive domestic factory, the fabric and stitching are exceptionally durable, making this a highly sought-after piece for its uncompromising quality.
