It is longer than Quarter Pants and shorter than Three Quarter Pants, and the length of the hem is from above-knee length (quarter length) to below-knee length (six-quarter length).
There is a part where the definition overlaps with "Short Pants" which is a general term for short pants, but in the case of Half Pants, extremely short lengths such as Hot Pants are not included.
Although there are changes with the times, it is worn regardless of gender or age as everyday wear in modern times.
It may also refer to a Short Type item with a long hem among the underwear of Sportswear.
Gym Outfits, which are used in students' physical education classes, also have a Type with a similar length.
In English, it's called Shorts or Short.
=Typical examples seen in the Past=
In ancient times, in the European Alps, from southern Bavaria in Germany to Tyrol in Austria, adult men wore short leather trousers named "Lederhose" as traditional costumes.
The Nicker Pocker, which can be seen later, was used for mountain climbing and became popular all over the world.
During World War II, it was used as a Hitler Youth uniform, along with suspenders and a swastika armband.
It is also used as one of the boy scout uniforms.
=Trends and trends in Japan=
In Japan, after basketball was adopted as a uniform, soccer and volleyball were also adopted.
With the spread of Half Pants, the resistance of young and adult men to barefoot has diminished.
Later, even longer lengths such as sneak length (7 minutes length) -ankle length (8 minutes length), which is equivalent to Half Pants and Three Quarter Pants below the knee length (6 minutes length), also appeared.
