Description

The Lot. 717 Denim Painter Pant from Taiga Takahashi T.T is inspired by archive workwear from the 1920s and 1930s and comes in a Wide Straight fit with a high rise, roomy seat and thigh, and a straight leg that ends in a wide hem. These Denim Trousers are crafted from a sanforized, raw 9 oz. Original T.T Selvedge Denim that's vintage shuttle-loomed in Okayama as a custom 2 x 1 Left Hand Twill with a consistent, moderate tension that yields a luxurious, structured drape. This signature denim features 100% US-grown Organic Cotton for exclusive yarns that are slightly slubbed to achieve subtle, period-correct fades. The green cast indigo rope-dyed warp is woven with an unbleached natural weft appearing charcoal, featuring a natural core that replicates the industrial-era grey-green selvedge denims of yesteryear. 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, this Denim Painter Pant features slant front pockets, a patch coin pocket, and oversized worker patch back pockets with decorative contrast vintage white stitching, reflecting refined construction elements. It also includes a custom button-fly and cinch-buckle back crafted from uncoated iron to patina and age naturally, cotton twill pocket bags, and an Amami Oshima mud-dyed leather patch. Innovating designs from the past using old-world techniques with exquisite precision, the Lot. 717 Pant is constructed with a two-piece selvedge waistband, double-needle chainstitched construction, felled inseam and outseam, and bartack reinforcements throughout. Step into the future with a timeless vision of the past with Taiga Takahashi.
