This design references of the brown denim pants considered to be the origin of CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) denim pants. Remarkably, despite the turbulent backdrop of war and the Great Depression, this style remained virtually unchanged for nearly 30 years—a precious example of enduring design.
It is believed that the brown dye used at the time was derived from logwood, due to shortages of indigo dye during World War I. Drawing inspiration from this historical context, each piece is garment-dyed by hand using natural Japanese dyes—specifically, Yakusugi cedar and mud.
Yakusugi, a type of Japanese cedar that is now protected from logging, is an exceptionally rare resource. With trees that are over 1,000 years old, the dye carries with it a sense of time and depth. As with traditional mud dyeing, the entire process is done by hand, resulting in one-of-a-kind textures and hues—no two garments are exactly alike.
The buttons are custom-made, featuring a subdued design created by removing the "US ARMY" lettering from vintage military buttons, resulting in a more refined and understated finish.
