Important note

This model is dyed using natural dyes, and the dye absorption is very low. Even when dry, color transfer may occur onto other garments (t-shirts, underwear, socks, shoes, bags, etc.). Repeated washing can reduce this effect, but it will not disappear completely. We therefore recommend avoiding contact with light-colored items. Please take this into consideration before placing your order, as this aspect cannot be considered grounds for a return.

SEUVAS is a young Japanese label based in Kurashiki, in Okayama Prefecture. The brand draws inspiration from traditional workwear and vintage utility garments, reinterpreting them with a contemporary perspective and artisanal craftsmanship. These Relaxed trousers are made from a unique fabric, combining linen for the warp and Washi paper for the weft, offering a subtle hand feel and an irregular texture that gives them an authentic character.

Washi paper is a natural material with remarkable properties: lightweight, breathable, quick-drying, absorbent, and offering UV protection. The Binchōtan charcoal dye gives the fabric deep shades that highlight the grain and structure of the textile. Binchōtan is a very dense vegetal charcoal, resembling metal, made from Ubamegashi oak. It is known for many qualities, such as water purification, absorption of unwanted tastes and odors, and excellent thermal properties, widely used in cooking. Used as a dye base, it gives the fabric a unique hand feel, somewhere between softness and dryness, and will also develop a distinctive patina over time, similar to indigo dye.

Every detail of these trousers — "baker" style pockets, single back pocket, elasticated waistband with a wide adjustment drawstring, and button fly — reflects the care given to their construction and the expertise of Japanese workshops. This piece is a perfect fusion of traditional Japanese techniques and Western utilitarian style. Its Relaxed fit ensures optimal comfort while maintaining a natural silhouette, easy to wear on its own or paired with the Washi Raglan Coverall Jacket Dark Charcoal, made from the same fabric, to complete the set.
