Momotaro Indigo Dyed Heavyweight Sashiko Baker Pants (Modern Straight fit)
Momo indigo magic!
Originally produced for the US Navy during WWII, the baker pant has since transformed from military wear to a stylish everyday staple! Momotaro has updated this model with a luxurious heavyweight sashiko fabric and modern details!
These pants are constructed with 100% cotton sashiko fabric. Originally used in firefighters' uniforms of the Edo period in Japan, Momotaro has specifically developed its heavyweight sashiko fabric for stylish and modern everyday wear! Slowly woven on vintage machines and grand indigo thread-dyed, this fabric will age beautifully to a high-contrast indigo look, as the 3-dimensional texture reveals darker and lighter indigo tones!
Construction-wise, this pair features a classic baker pant design with two waist and rear pockets sewn onto the trousers. This pair features a zip fly for practicality and a custom iron top button that will age with a beautiful patina. The cut is straight with a slight taper for a stylish and comfortable fit!
If you are looking for a pair of classic military-inspired trousers with next-level indigo fading potential, Momotaro could be a great choice!
