-Product description- (From Yamauchi HP)
Using the fabric that has been used for Yamauchi's standard shirt, we made a pair of pants.
It is very light and has a unique crispness and coolness that is suitable for summer, and the wide silhouette and elastic waist make it very comfortable to wear.
It is designed with the same material 23134 jacket and yc41-231 shirt, but it is an item that has enough presence even by itself.

-Explanation of outer material-
Salted cotton linen (Omi production area)
If you put your hand on the back side of the fabric, you can see your hand through the thin cotton linen from Omi.
The random wrinkles that appear on the fabric when it shrinks and the dry surface are somewhat like Japanese paper.
Not all fabrics have the same look after salt shrinkage, and the finish depends on various conditions such as threads, textures, dyeing methods, and so on. I ended up with this fabric that is neither too strong nor too weak, and has the same texture.
Yamauchi starts designing with textiles, but it is not good for textiles to be too pushy and assertive.
At first glance, it feels like a slight change, but I dare to create products that cherish a sense of balance that is moderately elegant.
This fabric is one of the indispensable textiles for Yamauchi that always corrects such a feeling.

- Dyeing instructionsー
Kishu bincho charcoal dyeing (Okayama Prefecture)
A dyeing method that uses ultra-fine charcoal powder to dye.
The finished dyeing is a light blue-gray color, and since it adheres to the surface of the fiber like pigment dyeing, it is characterized by casual unevenness.
Contrary to persimmon juice dyeing, the color gradually fades over time, and charcoal's inherent effects such as deodorizing, antibacterial, and insect repelling properties make it particularly effective in the humid Japanese summer.

ーProcessing explanationー
Salt-condensed processing (Yamanashi Prefecture)
A processing method that uses caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) to give the fabric a unique wrinkled feel and unevenness.
Because it is a very time-consuming process, it is not suitable for mass processing, and it is all done by hand.
Also, the chemicals used are dangerous, so there are very few factories that can process them in high concentrations.
