The Sashiko weave is an integral part of Japanese culture. It is a decorative embroidery technique that is also associated with clothing making. Formerly used for firefighters' uniforms during the Edo period, nowadays, Sashiko is found in Judo and Kendo outfits, as well as in many Japanese brands that are keen to perpetuate the tradition.

This is the case with Japan Blue, which offers us pants in indigo-dyed sashiko. The advantage of this weave is its breathability and the resulting suppleness. These characteristics make it a perfect fabric for the warm seasons. Moreover, the deep indigo dye will allow the pants to acquire a beautiful grain and patina over time, fluctuating between different shades ranging from a subtle green to a bold light blue.

This "Easy Tapered Pant" from Japan Blue is a relaxed fit pant, offering comfort at the thigh and a tapered fit from the knee down to a semi-narrow leg opening. Its length is intentionally shorter, making it ideal for the summer season. Its oval cut cleverly plays with volumes to offer great freedom of movement while maintaining a tailored silhouette. The drawstring allows adjusting the waist size to be worn more or less loose depending on the desired look.
