The Utility Shorts in the Burning Night print feature photographic imagery from the new book collaboration, printed directly onto white deadstock denim.

Burning Night takes its name from work by Ōtepoti-based photographers Esta de Jong and Lance Strickland, whose photography-led practice embraces high-contrast darkroom methodologies, composed fashion portraiture, and a raw, tactile analogue energy. The imagery printed across these garments comes from the Burning Night book, created in collaboration with JPALM, Esta, Lance, and Ted Whitaker.

The JPALM Utility Short is a wide-leg, high-waisted style with the same fitted waist and hip as the Utility Jean, opening into an exaggerated, roomy leg for ease and movement. The photographic print gives the otherwise utilitarian silhouette a more graphic and considered finish.

Finished with a raw hem and 1cm safety stitch designed to fray over time, plus signature JPALM hardware: a single dome closure at the centre front waistband, YKK zip in a J-fly, and a small metal D-ring on the front belt loop. A 100% leather branded patch sits at the back waistband.
