Description

The Lot. 221 Charcoal Sumi Dyed Cotton Washi Twill Field Trousers from Taiga Takahashi T.T are inspired by an archive Civilian Conservation Corps work pant from the 1940s and come in a Straight fit with a high rise, a roomy seat and thigh, and a straight leg that ends in a wide hem. These Field Trousers are crafted from a 12 oz.

Reimagined from yesteryear with refinement, the garment is dyed with Sumi Ink used in calligraphy and derived from natural charcoal extracts for a unique tone that will evolve with the wearer. Guided by the Applied Archaeology ethos and the Taiga Takahashi archives, this piece resurrects a relic of the past to serve as an artifact of the future, blending aesthetic principles rooted in Japanese concepts of craftsmanship and beauty. Paying homage to the original with elevated details and custom trims, this Field Trouser features side-seam front and back welt pocketing, a welt coin pocket, a button fly, tucked belt loops, and charcoal-dyed corozo buttons. Innovating designs from the past using old-world techniques with exquisite precision, the Lot. 221 Trouser is completed with cotton twill for the pocket bags, waistband, and interior trims, and is constructed with a tailor’s seat, single- and double-needle construction, and bartack reinforcements throughout.
