An inspiration from the U.S. Army's "Convalescent Hospital Pants" from the 1910s.

"Convalescent" refers to "recovery period," during which injured soldiers used to wear such pants. Their unique features include a drawstring to adjust waist like easy pants and inner seams covered with tape, presumably added to prevent seam allowances from irritating external wounds. The labor-intensive sewing method reflects the careful consideration prioritizing the wellness of the patients. The original piece uses a dry-touch wool, but this version features a silk nep fabric to ensure unsophisticated yet comfortable wear. Garment dyeing realizes natural fades of seam allowances and wrinkles.
