Thick rope-like strands are woven into a big weight and even bigger texture fabric that pays homage to a historically significant sewing technique. If you're a fan of chinos, this might be the most special pair you'll own. The Indigo Monster Sashiko Chinos.
The inspiration for this style is the traditional Sashiko sewing technique. Used as a functional sewing technique for repairs and decorative effects Sashiko is respected for its handmade style, prominent stitching and patterning effects. This style uses a Dobby weave to recreate the prominent stitch and geometric lines and then dials up the texture to absolutely beautiful levels. Imagine the plushest cotton rope interlaced together to create a hand woven look and huge texture.. That's what we have here. Even better is the rugged 12 ounce weight, giving this style true vintage appeal.
You know we’re obsessed with construction and our Chino is no exception. We approach this garment considering it to be a tailored pant. The waistband is fully curtained using a beautiful, slubby, indigo chambray fabric and a red center stitch. This produces a totally clean finished upper. We also clean finish the fly and seat seams with indigo chambray binding. The fly is secured with custom shaped and engraved Corozo buttons. Belt loops are hand folded, tucked on the bottom and top waistband for added strength. They are also made in a slightly narrower width as compared to our denim to give the pants a more refined look. Traditional slash pockets are on the front, bar tacked on top and bottom. The back pockets are intricately constructed welt pockets also secured with our custom Corozo buttons. Both inseam and outseam use a busted seam for less bulk. This is construction done the right way throughout.
Choose either our Straight fit or Slim fit. More details available in our fit guide.

"I wanted to tell you how much I love the rainbow nep natural t-shirts. After over a year of trying to find my everyday t-shirt, this is finally it. I have four of them now and they are basically all I wear."
