"Slacks Denim" (setup) you'll want to wear 50 years from now ~SMART Series

It's denim, but it's elegant.

This pair of trousers was created over 487 days by a "Denim Sommelier" and a "Vintage Pattern Maker," choosing the shape of "slacks" instead of 5-pocket jeans. Made with 14.75 oz selvedge denim from Kojima, Okayama Prefecture, these slacks feature a red selvedge. Two colors of stitching, white and indigo, are used in different places, with cotton thread on the surface and polyester thread on the reverse, achieving both a classic look and durability. A single pleat creates room around the waist.

The silhouette is inspired by suit trousers, so it avoids the overly casual feel often associated with denim, resulting in a refined impression. It blends naturally with a white T-shirt or as a suit-style set-up with a jacket, making it a versatile piece that bridges adult casual and formal wear. As you wear them, the indigo will develop, creating your own unique fade.

It won't leave behind those who are tired of regular jeans. It won't pick up the lines of your legs too much, preventing discomfort, and you won't feel tight around the waist all day. It's neither too casual to feel out of place in adult settings nor too formal to feel overdressed.

For those looking for denim that can be worn elegantly. A pair that will look better with age and tell a story. Start nurturing them today as a companion that will last you for the next 50 years.
