Plain pleated trousers...but made extreme. Soshiotsuki maximizes volume and shape within the seemingly rigid framework of men's tailored trousers, cutting 8 pleats (and 4 corresponding belt loops) into each side of this pant's front. A bold move only made more dramatic by the extra long rise and on-seam side pockets dropped 6" below the waistband suggesting to the wearer that the pant should be worn up to the ribs. All this is done with expert refined finishing to maintain an overall tailored atmosphere. The beauty is the surprising amount of flexibility and aesthetic fluidity depending on how they are styled--show or hide the waist, wear them high or low on the waist, tuck or untuck, and you find the direction shifting easily between 80s tailored pant, Japanese Hakama, 1920s oxford baggy trousers, 90s baggy skate pants, or American Zoot Suit pants.
Finished with hook and bar waist closure with interior button retainer. Zipper fly. Two double welt back pockets.
Made in Japan 10/10 Condition, new with tags.
Fit Notes: Fits slightly small to size in the waist with extra long rise and incredibly voluminous seat and leg.
