These are indeed nice!

Funny thing is that they were reccomended to me by two different posters on here today.

If only I had the money and was in need of more trousers...

[fre-co]

those look pretty good.

welcome to green

Those are pretty cool. It also reminds me of a brand I worked for a japan that uses a lot of vintage deadstock fabrics for their clothes... some of you might be interested. You can view it at http://35summers.com/brand/

2000, which one of the 4 brands are you referring to?

the bivvy pants have a colour that really appeals to me. black hardware is also nice.

also, waterproof pants? now you can pee in your pants and no one will know the difference!

I like em... might grab a pair.

Sammler uses the vintage fabric the most as far as I remember. They had some quite interesting footwear too made out of old felt as a purcell "homage".

The brands are all run by the same og dude. He was really interesting.

ah...yeah the stuff is pretty interesting, really get a sense of someone taking all these vintage cuts and looks and putting his own spin on them.

is the listed address for the store or for a workshop? would be nice to check it out when i head down to tokyo in early may.

[2000dB]

It's their office/workshop, but take a chance and ask. A few of them understand english for sure.

im really likeing the look of those tent trousuers.. but that british flag tag has to go, and whats up with the "buttons" on the back pockets? I wonder how stiff the fabric is aswell...

[Lloyd]

will be baring my arse at upmarket this sunday then to try on a pair.

[tweeds]

sexy, be sure to take pics.

[Spastic_Koala]

How baggy do you think those would be? I'd love to see fit pics if anyone gets a pair.

[beatle]

Pretty baggy..but in a good way...

also - different colorways

[rollups]

They are a cool idea, too baggy for my liking though

[jake431]

I am on the fence about these - I really like the idea of them, and they could be cool, but until I see some fit pics, I am not going to pull the trigger on them.

I ran across these yesterday randomly when doing an unrelated search on google. I'm not going to get them but I was surprised that they look fairly slim. I doubt anyone here is looking for things from this time period, but I thought the pants were fairly interesting.

along with those pictures beatle posted

they also gave me this sketch of a size 30. They mentioned that they make them in size 28 which is not mentioned on the site. I'm going to ask them if I could get one made with a slightly narrower leg opening, say 8 inches, when I get some extra cash around.

If that's a size 30, then we're talking about some fairly baggy items. I mean, they look like they'd be baggy, but I want pictures of them on someone before I pull the trigger!

Thanks for posting that illustration. Better than nothing, that's for sure.

Did anyone end up getting these?

New fabric now, but still from vintage tents.

" Eventually we found a good stock of vintage Pup tents dating from the 1950’s."

Still looks interesting, but less irregularities this time around which is a bit unfortunate.

I like the pockets, and how the cut looks... tempting.

[flex0r]

i have a pair...maybe this weekend i'll get around to taking fit pics if you guys are interested.

[superBobo]

^^Def interested. Please give some impressions on style, quality aswell.
