1930's Officer Summer Pants

The officer summer pants, circa 1930, purchased from a Parisian thrift store, are made of an oxford fabric woven with the warp and weft both pulled together with just the right amount of uneven yarn.

It is a little wasteful, but we will cut some of the fabric on the hem of the right leg, analyze the thickness and unevenness of the yarn and the number of strips, and use this data to develop original fabrics.

These pants were made as colonial pants worn in the colonies and are simple enough to be worn in warmer climates. The reinforced side pockets and engraved suspender buttons have a classic look.

I bought it because the atmosphere and details of the fabric may be useful for future item planning. These pants cost 50 euros, or about 8,000 Japanese yen. Isn't it surprising that 90-year-old military pants cost this much?
Of course, I bought them immediately.
There were also military shirts from the 1920s and various other accessories.


These pants will be used in the planning of items to be released in the spring of 2025.
