Hello! I'm Haru, a fashion nerd!
"The impression is different from when you haven't worn them."
These are basic slacks, yet they possess a charm
that draws many people in who feel that way.
Because these pants feature a universal design,
they haven't often been in the spotlight.
However, today I’d like to talk about an item
that makes me feel strongly every time I wear it,
"It really is great."
Without further ado, let me introduce that item.
th
-Extra Volumed Tapered Pants-
Made with th's signature material,
this pair has a wide, impactful silhouette
yet manages to convey a certain elegance.
That is the "Extra Volumed Tapered Pants."
They are crafted from high-quality wool gabardine,
woven with fine threads at a high density.
The high-density fabric provides
a crisp, firm structure within its lightness,
showcasing a beautiful and dignified silhouette.
I personally own and wear th's slacks,
and I feel they have a seductive quality
that "ordinary black slacks" don't possess.
Honestly speaking, current trends are shifting
toward slimmer fits, so I think
not many people are feeling this right now.
In fact, I've also been feeling more
inclined toward slim fits lately,
and besides, I already own black slacks.
That's what I thought, but
I was thinking too simply.
As I mentioned before,
th has an alluring quality
that comes from being created by Taro Horiuchi.
He is a world-class designer who graduated
at the top of his class from the Royal Academy
of Fine Arts Antwerp (think of it as the Harvard of the fashion industry).
Currently, he has been appointed as a designer for kolor,
showcasing unique fabric use and
design variations, but when you think of Mr. Taro,
the image of "tailoring" remains strong.
And it's not just any tailoring.
With his roots in having worked on
women's brands, I feel a supple and elegant
image of tailoring in th, rather than
something stiff and rigid.
That's why I think "seductive" fits better
than "attractive" for describing why they
draw you in, beyond just being wide-legged slacks, if you ask a nerd like me haha.
Also,
because Mr. Taro researches clothing from
various eras and elevates them into items
that fit the present, they are timeless
and feel both nostalgic/classic
and modern at the same time.
The silhouette features a three-dimensional volume
created by deep double tucks at the waist.
By gently tapering toward the hem
from there, it doesn't just end as a wide pant,
but results in a calculated, beautiful line.
Combined with Mr. Taro's roots and
his pursuit of design,
he has built the beautiful tailoring unique to th,
but there are also elements that
tighten the look.
That is the material quality.
By using an off-scale treatment,
the wool's inherent scales are removed,
allowing the dye to penetrate more deeply.
The black becomes even blacker, elevated to a deep
color that is almost pitch black.
Additionally, through impregnation processing,
a unique, paper-like stiffness is achieved.
The combination of these two processes
creates a hard, structural texture.
Furthermore, the details are flawless, with the
use of YKK's top-of-the-line EXCELLA zippers.
The smooth operation and high-quality presence
further elevate the perfection of the entire product.
When all these processes come together, as you slip your legs in,
you realize they have a quality no other black
slacks have, and you find yourself drawn to them.
Because they are a universal item like black slacks,
this pair by th, which firmly understands the roots of tailoring,
will take your styling to the next level.
A pair that works even when worn casually,
and responds when you put together a
meticulous outfit.
It will surely become a staple you reach for
naturally in your daily life.
Please, give them a try!
