This fabric from Japan is mind-blowing to this textile design nerd! A triple cloth the face is a 100% cotton plain weave lightweight denim, the back is cotton gauze and the magic happens with a polyester wadding yarn in the middle. The ‘quilting’ lines are created not by stitching but in the weaving process. Once washed the fabric puffs up ands texture. Yes this pair of trousers are on the stiffer side but they soften with wear and are fabulously sculptural. They have been a roaring success for those braver types! Perhaps not the best in the summer months…. Be prepared for these pants being on the bulkier side and they need to be worn snug to keep them up.

Our Field Pants have a flattering flat front, elasticated back waistband and a side zip, and sit on the natural waist without a raised waistband. The pockets at the front are angled and lined in handwoven cotton ikat fabric with Liberty binding, and there is a patch pocket at the back. Designed as a slightly cropped pant they are working well on people of all different heights as they are shaped in at the hem. They have a seam running down the front of the leg, a shaped side seam and dart at the cuff giving them a slight ‘barrel’ shape. The hem curves up slightly and we have found that while these are designed to be worn at a cropped length they are working really well across a wide range of heights.

The measurements include the waist relaxed and also gently stretched. While I have included the stretched measurement they are actually not designed to be worn at full elastic extension (that would be uncomfortable!). While this design is ‘fresh’ we are working out how the sizes compare to the classic 8-10-12-14-etc and feel that they work well across sizes. An example being the small is fitting as a 10 to small 12, medium 12 to small 14, etc. We are still trying to get this sorted out in our heads!
