Pants in a pegtop silhouette featuring a waistband with elastic, slant side pockets and a single patch back-pocket.
Made in Blue-Green Stripe, a warp Kasuri (ikat) and classic Japanese textile motif. The making of Kasuri fabrics involves more than thirty intricate processes, with specialized craftspeople responsible for each stage. Because the process is so intricate, the fabric has long been reserved for the few — once woven for nobility, gifted to brides, and offered to the gods.
The fabric is woven in a 75-year-old, family-run mill in Yame, Japan, using preserved Kasuri techniques and salvaged semi-automated Toyota power looms — relics of the Industrial Revolution. The looms are intentionally narrow, allowing the weaver to control tension and ensure that the pre-dyed yarns align so that the intended pattern appears. Once a nationwide-practiced craft used for kimono-making, Kasuri declined after the post-war shift toward western fashion and synthetic textiles, leaving only a few remaining mills in Yame, whom today are acknowledged as preservers of culture in Japan.
