Cloth
Cotton chambray
Composition
100% cotton
Weight
190 gsm
Colour
Pale indigo
Made
Cut and sewn in Bengaluru, forty minutes from the shop, by a workroom of nine.
Length
Finished at 86 cm. We do not shorten this one — it is meant to sit on the shoe.
Care
Wash at 30 °C. Chambray softens fast and creases; that is the cloth doing what it does.

The cut

A carpenter cut kept honest: the loop is load-bearing, not decoration, and the pockets take a hand to the wrist.

How it is put together

  • Drawstring waist in a flat cotton tape, threaded through a channel rather than eyelets.
  • The hammer loop is kept and bar-tacked at both ends.
  • Deep front pockets, bagged in the same chambray.
  • Felled inseam, so there is no raw edge inside the leg.
