Introducing the Shigoto Pant, Inspired by Tradition, Built for Today.
Designed with a relaxed fit and made from 100% cotton dobby weave fabric, this piece combines comfort and style with a textured pattern that's as durable as it is unique. The pant draws inspiration from centuries-old Japanese sewing techniques, where garments were repaired with intricate patchwork and visible stitching, celebrating the imperfections of well-worn clothing. This practice, known as Sashiko, involves reinforcing fabric with geometric stitchwork that not only strengthens the garment but adds unique character to every piece.
The word "Shigoto" in Japanese translates to "work" or "job," making it the perfect name for a pant designed with functionality and hard work in mind. Rooted in the concept of dedicating oneself to a craft, the Shigoto Pant is built to stand the test of time, much like the traditional Japanese garments that inspired it. Each detail in these trousers reflects the heritage of hard-wearing workwear, yet the modern-day craftsmanship ensures that this piece is ready for today’s adventurers and makers.
The Shigoto Pant features quilted patchwork details, laid-on knee patches, and large laid-on patch pockets with bound edges, creating a sense of functional artistry. The leather belt loop with a branded rivet, along with the contrast print fabric used on the coin pocket, waistband, and back pocket, adds to the bespoke design. Finished with branded corozo buttons and recycled polyester labels, this pant is built to last, ensuring that each wear adds to its story.
Style Tip: For a complete look that fuses tradition with modern flair, pair the Shigoto Pant with one of our heritage-inspired shirts.
