LOT.202 Natural Dyed Beige Cotton Engineer Trousers

The engineer pants are inspired by workpants from the 1940s. Because fabrics at the time were not durable enough to withstand hard labor, each pocket opening is reinforced with a patch equivalent to rivets in jeans. The high-rise pants have a wide silhouette from the thighs to the hems. The item uses satin fabric with densely woven weft yarns. Pre-treated with mercerization to enhance color, the fabric achieves a vivid and smooth appearance. NATURAL DYED BEIGE is a natural dyeing made from bayberry (yamamomo) and persimmon tannin (kakishibu), both of which have been utilized as dyes and oriental medicines since old times. Passage of time adds depth to the color, as the tannin abundantly found in the dyes enhances the aged look. MUD DYED BROWN is carefully dyed one by one using "mud dye", the traditional dyeing technique of Amami Oshima Island. None of them look the same, as all of them are one of a kind.
