Aloha kākou!
Due to the positive response we received from the first release, we are extremely fortunate to once again team up with the MultiCam brand to bring you a restock in our FITTED + MultiCam Kahakai Walk Short. This time around, we will be bringing back the MultiCam Black color while also introducing the original MultiCam pattern in khaki. See below for MultiCam’s descriptions on its proprietary patterns:
The MultiCam® pattern was developed to effectively limit the visual and near-IR signature of a person operating across a very wide range of physical environments and seasons. After many successful evaluations, after being proven in combat, and after becoming the officially issued pattern of the US Army for all Afghanistan operations in 2010, MultiCam® is the proven multi-environment concealment solution.
The MultiCam Black™ pattern was developed to meet the unique requirements of law enforcement officers operating in high-risk environments. It projects a distinctly authoritative presence appropriate for domestic operations. MultiCam Black™ is designed to complement an officer’s existing equipment and present a sharp, professional image for top-tier law enforcement units.
The Kahakai Walk Short is completely custom-built to the same specifications we used in our first release, but seeing as how we’re constantly evolving and always striving to perfect our product, we’ve in turn made several slight enhancements to the Kahakai silhouette. The button fly was swapped out for a completely sealed fly and a small crotch gusset was added for durability. The drawstring has been upgraded to a more sturdy polyester woven cord with heat-shrunk tube aglets covering the knotted ends to prevent fraying. The length of the Kahakai Walk short has been increased slightly as well.
Aside from those modifications, the core of the short remains the same, with signature MultiCam 50/50 NYCO rip-stop (50% nylon, 50% cotton) fabric, created and crafted here in the USA. The military-grade fabric was then cut and sewn here in Hawaiʻi to our exact specifications, including a variety of meticulously designed details like the dual care labels, one in English and one in Hawaiian, with a 10-kahili design on the back to denote our 10 years in the business. A sizing spec label is seen stitched to the back of the waistband, while a trilock tag with the FITTED crest, ʻio morale patch, and “ASD,” “04,” and “116” is stitched to the outer right seam, just below the front pocket. Above the back pocket we stitched a FITTED Mil-Spec label, and above that we placed a keyring loop in the same rip-stop material. An official MultiCam hangtag is attached to the keyring loop for authenticity.
The Kahakai Walk Short will be available in five sizes per color, Small (27–30), Medium (30–33), Large (33–36), X-Large (36–40), and 2X-Large (40–42).
