Lot 209 Buckle Backed Trousers Hand Drawn Sumi

Wide fitting, long rise trousers cut from a high density cotton twill in a hand painted sumi grey. Feature a tack button fly, a tack button closure, tack button suspender attachments at the waist, denim style five pocket layout, and a buckled rear waist cinch. Closer fitting proportions through the seat expand through the thigh and fall with a straight profile to the hem, creating a sculptural silhouette with a sense of mild structure. Constructed using chain stitched, flat felled seams through the seat for added durability at high stress points; engraved iron tack buttons throughout.

The hand painted sumi treatment is inspired by the works of Kamisoe, capturing the irregularity of each brushstroke over the fabric's surface. The interior remains undyed, producing a noted contrast that is enhanced over time as the fabric ages and the grey surface begins to fade. The uncoated iron hardware is intended to develop a rust patina over time, further enhancing the nuance of each individual garment.
