Pure Blue Japan harnesses the tactile charm and visual splendour of traditional sashiko stitching to offer up these 5-pocket trousers.
The art of sashiko dates back to Japan’s Edo period. It’s a traditional form of decorative reinforcement stitching, used to strengthen, repair, and embellish items of clothing and ceremonial dress. The term sashiko translates literally to “little stabs,” giving you some indication of the textured intricacy this method can achieve.
Pure Blue Japan uses a jacquard weave to recreate sashiko’s dense texture, employing an indigo warp/indigo weft set-up with added black sashiko embroidery. As the pants wear in, the fabric will soften and the indigo tones will fade—lending further nuance to the richly knurled quality of Pure Blue Japan’s sashiko fabric.
Available in Pure Blue Japan’s straight-leg cut—a mid-rise fit with a roomy top block and a regular leg opening.
