• STORY

  Borrowing from both the American West and the Old World, we have mixed European gentlemen’ trousers detailing with early work-wear construction and fabrics. The inspiration for those jeans came in part from this 1904 photo. This saloon scene showcases several interesting trousers styles worn by ranch hands at the turn of the Century. One of the cowboys (second from right) seems to be wearing denim, according to the cuffs showing the contrasting reverse of the fabric. A closer zoom reveals an obscure European trousers pattern, not a ‘classic’ five pocket type pants.
  
  

  So we went with our own original trousers pattern, staying away from the more

  obvious Lee/Levi’s/Wrangler type work jeans back yoke piecing/pocketing. (As once mentioned in front of a Denim Industry audience, the genius iconic “501” must be the most actively milked cow in the jeans making racket… not a crowd pleasing statement.

   

  We had two different denim twill exclusively woven in Japan for this collection, both inspired by vintage swatches from our archives. One indigo denim with indigo back, and one white back unbleached natural denim. Both were milled in limited quantities, not the easiest nor cheapest stage of the making of those jeans.

• FABRIC

  PATTERN:

  An original MFSC pattern, inspired by both the New and the Old World. European type trousers tailoring mixed with work wear construction.

• CARE

  SHRINKAGE/SIZING:

  The britches come UNWASHED, the material is raw, so shrinkage is expected. With an initial cold soak and line dry, both fabrics will shrink differently, but will reach TAGGED size down the line.

   

  Note that cotton-linen textiles shrink and stretch yoyo style with wear and wash. An additional 1.5 inch can be let out from the bottom cuff if needed (single stitch machine)

  Do not just wash your indigo gunslinger’s in hope of fading them faster, wear them instead.

   

  DISCLAIMER:

  Because of the nature of the indigo dye, bleeding is expected with the INDIGO canvas option BRITCHES CHAPARRAL. You WILL get some color rubbing if you wear a light color shirt tucked in. The bleeding stops overtime after normal wear/wash. Please use minimal mild AND environment friendly detergent.
