Laidback Pant Sashiko Project: Mink, Aubergine, Steel Moss, Marbled Acid

This is a preorder project that will ship in November. These items are final sale and may not be returned or exchanged after delivery. Hemming service is available on all preorders

After two years, our famous Japanese Sashiko cloth is back in stock! It's high time to offer a new round of our Laidback pant. Crafted in our signature Japanese cotton sashiko, this piece is supremely easy and comfortable. It combines the construction of a chino with the laidback design cues of a track pant. 

We're dyeing these garments in consistent batches, so you can order a perfectly matched Doyle or Sinclair jacket alongside it for a 2-piece look. 

First, we're offering three classic solid dye colors. Mink is a handsome dark brown. Aubergine is deep indigo with a strong purple cast. And Steel Moss sits between forest green and dark grey. They're easy to match and perfect for the Fall/Winter. 

"Marbled Acid Wash" is a three step process where the garment is (1) dip dyed with opaque dark grey pigment, (2) masked and selectively acid washed to yield a mottled and variegated surface color and (3) rinsed and enzyme treated for softness. The result is a beautifully complex and colorfast "marbled" texture. And since the acid primarily affects the surface, the grey interior makes for a cool contrast when you cuff the bottoms. 

The overall fit is modern and athletic, with plenty of room in the thighs to move. Its elastic waistband offers a drawstring to customize the fit. The hip pockets are generous, and the rear patch pockets are deep enough to hold a smartphone. The rear seam is chainstitched for durability, and you can expect this pant to age beautifully with wear. Sizing is as easy as S-M-L-XL.

Hemming is available for a $15 upcharge. These pants are fully preshrunk so you can confidently order your typical inseam. 

As always, it's made from start to finish in Los Angeles. 

12oz 100% Cotton Japanese Sashiko Pique

Also known as our classic pure cotton Sashiko cloth is woven in Japan for use in martial arts uniforms. Known as Dogi (cloth of the way), this fabric has a thick pique weave with well-defined "rice gain" structure. This technique offers three benefits: it allows natural stretch and flexing with movement, it absorbs moisture and stays away from your skin and it gains exceptional tensile strength.. far above a comparable twill weave. Given the large texture of the weave, you can expect a particularly nice patina with wear. 

Sizing

Sizing is really easy... just order according to your waist size. The elastic top band will stretch to fit, and the 36" inseam is consistent across sizes. The leg diameter offers plenty of room for both Rivet Chino & Wilhelm Chino customers.
