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. 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.
