FOB FACTORY / F0522 Vat dye herringbone trouser

Durable and Elegant Herringbone Trousers
Based on the herringbone fabric used in the 1940s United States Marine Corps utility uniforms, this fabric has been thoroughly researched and updated for modern times, from the yarn to the dyeing process.

The prominent feature of these pants is the herringbone pattern that covers the entire garment. Furthermore, the dyeing method used at that time, which is rarely used in modern times, has been employed. It is resistant to fading from washing and sunlight, and as you wear it, it develops a vintage-like look that is unique to you.

By combining the brand’s carefully selected fabric with details and a silhouette that doesn’t feel clumsy, they have created a piece that fits well with the modern style.

Fabric with Vintage Appeal

The fabric has a moderate stiffness with a slight sheen on the surface, resulting in an elegant finish unique to herringbone.

They use VAT DYE method, which was widely used for military items at the time, for dyeing. Compared to normal dyeing, it is less prone to fading from washing and sunlight, and as you wear it, it develops whiskers and creases, allowing you to enjoy a vintage-like texture.

They also pay attention to the sewing, using strong rolled stitching for the back center, sides, and crotch, leaving no room for oversight in the details.

Elegant Details
The front features a zipper fly design. At the top, antique-style donut buttons are placed, adding subtle attention to detail.

On both sides, hand pockets are placed along the seams, providing an elegant finish that doesn’t disrupt the design. The back pockets are designed with a double-welt edge, making it easier to access than regular pockets and less prone to deformation, giving a smart impression.

The crotch area is designed with a gusset, ensuring a comfortable fit without feeling cumbersome.

Streamlined Tapered Silhouette
The rise is slightly shallow, and the pants feature a slightly slim tapered silhouette. With the fabric’s durability and a timeless design, this is an item that you can enjoy for many years.
