[Karusan] Organic cotton denim / dark blue

A loose yet easy to move in denim that you can wear hard

Wide yet easy to move around in

These tapered pants are loose from the waist to above the knees, but have a slim silhouette down to the hem, allowing for easy movement and ease of movement.

The crotch has a large gusset, which is a unique design that allows for a wider range of motion.

Comfortable and relaxed denim that you'll want to wear even when you're at home

Denim tends to have a stiff and restrictive fabric, but this is made of a thin, soft fabric with an elastic waist, so it's comfortable and feels like loungewear.

However, the fabric looks firm, so it can also be worn for going out.

The back style is also beautiful

The clean back style makes the crotch gusset invisible. It has a sleeker silhouette than previous "tatsuke" and "hakama" styles.

Dark blue organic cotton denim fabric

This denim fabric is made from organic cotton grown in Uganda and dyed and woven in Hiroshima. The more you use it, the softer it becomes, so it is a high-quality fabric that you can enjoy watching change over time.

It is tightly woven and has a firm texture, giving it the thickness and durability that only denim can offer.

Environmentally friendly dyeing method

The dyeing process is eco-dyed, which is environmentally friendly. The color fades more slowly and lasts longer than the indigo dye used for regular denim.

■ Production Story

Toshiharu, an 80-year-old man born and raised in Itoshiro, carefully preserves his old clothes. He says he watched his grandmother weaving from his childhood.

I recreated the shape of the pants that were in that collection. It's a new shape that's different from the "tatsuke" and "hakama" that we've made. It seems that it was made through trial and error to find something that was neither too slim nor too wide, and suited his own body type, and this shape does not seem to be something that was commonly found in Itoshiro.

There were traces of the designers making the pants out of the fabric they had on hand. We named them "Karusan," a word that refers to wide pants and is also used in Itoshiro.
