Long rise, wide fitting shorts cut from a yarn-dyed, organic cotton, indigo denim with a sumi overdye. Feature a button closure, zip fly, front slash pockets with a secondary inner pocket at the left side, rear patch pockets, and a right thigh pocket. Cut with a generous wide leg that falls away from the body with an a-line like silhouette for a sense of elegant everyday utility. Constructed using fine single needle flat felled seams throughout for a hard wearing finish that is built to age with grace; sew-on tonal military button made from castor-bean-based plastic.

The Sumi Organic Denim is woven in Hiroshima from and bio-washed to impart a soft yet dense hand before it is overdyed using a combination of binchotan charcoal and sumi ink. Ubame Oak is carbonzied for several days to produce high-grade binchotan charcoal and mixed with sumi ink to produce a uniquely rich variation in tone throughout the cloth that develops with age. Dyed at a small-scale mill operated by two people, consistency is achieved with practice and a keen eye.
