LOT.201 WORK TROUSERS

These work pants are made of an original material created with reference to vintage swatches from the 1920s. The fabric is made from a twill fabric called "sharkskin," which has a rustic, oil-rubbed finish. The finish gives the garment a rustling texture as if the oil has been drained out. The silhouette is a straight line with a shallow crotch and a slender drop from the crotch to the waistband. The waistband has a button at the back, suggesting the use of suspenders. 100% ORGANIC COTTON

Garment Background


The high rise, two tucked, tapered leg Work Trousers are made from organic cotton and have a buckle back, and a concealed button fly. They are designed to resemble the trousers worn in America during the 1940s to do manual labour, such as farming, and industrial work, in the many factories being constructed in the wake of World War II. Takahashi took inspiration from a vintage pair of 1940s work trousers he purchased from a dealer in Ohio, U.S.A. Scrutinising the cut and construction, he reinterpreted the high waisted, two tucked, tapered leg silhouette and referenced specific details such as the pockets and the belt loops. Takahashi's design, using plant-based dyes, is made from an organic cotton selvedge twill inspired by fabric used by the U.S. Army in the 1910s and features a button made from dyed nuts.
