WORKWEAR
CASUAL
The Rakaia Shorts are hard wearing, tough built shorts. Suitable for wearing out to the pub and grunty enough for scragging ewes in the yards, these shorts are where form meets function. Two standard jeans-style thigh pockets and a rear pocket provide enough room for the usual gear you carry. A YKK zipper is nice and robust to last the distance, and bar tacked belt loops ensure they'll never tear.

- Relaxed fit
- Two jean-style pockets and one riveted rear pocket

Measure Up
Lay your favourite pair of shorts flat on a solid, even surface. Refer to the image below and measure the ½ waist (straight across the top) and the inseam (from the crotch seam to the bottom of the leg). Compare your measurements to the size chart to find your best fit.
