Following yesterday's blog, I'm going to introduce another pair of pants!!
Today's pants are a bit different from
the item I showed you yesterday.
Without further ado, let me make a recommendation...
blurhmsROOTSTOCK
-2046D Chino Pants-
col.DustyBeige 
col.BLACK
These chinos are woven at a high density after removing fuzz, resulting in a soft texture with a natural sheen and crispness.
They feature the beauty of slacks and truly represent ROOTSTOCK,
which develops standard items that fit into daily life,
distinct from the main blurhms collection line.
Before encountering these pants, I always felt that chinos were
"too middle-aged" or "too masculine," and instead of wanting to wear them,
I had given up on them, thinking they just didn't suit me.
However,
these ROOTSTOCK chinos are the ideal pair that I can wear
without any of that discomfort.
If I had to point out a clear difference
from standard chinos,
it would definitely be the "silhouette."
When you think of famous models,
items from casual brands like Levi's or Lee come to mind,
and if you trace their roots, they go back to the uniforms of the British or American armies in the 19th century.
They started out being adopted as uniforms for soldiers
because of their durable cotton material and ease of movement,
and from there, they became a staple item in daily life.
It's understandable to find them difficult when the base is military or workwear,
and since we are looking for them as fashion items, the direction is different.
That's exactly why I recommend these ROOTSTOCK
chino pants!
They have a beautiful silhouette based on slacks,
with center creases on the front and back.
These aren't chinos from a vintage shop or a workwear brand,
but chinos from a brand that boasts top-class skill in Japan.
Because they are a brand that proposes standard items that fit into our "daily lives," rather than just looking at the past, they have elevated these into a contemporary piece that I can wear without feeling out of place even at my age.
The fabric, which is also a hallmark of blurhms, is a uniquely crafted original material.
The texture of the fabric improves each time you wear it,
growing alongside you as you age.
They come with a drawcord at the waist,
allowing you to wear them even without a belt.
The drawcord is set lower than on traditional easy pants,
so you can enjoy a beautiful silhouette without any bunching.
Personally, while I like the DustyBeige, I'm especially drawn to the BLACK.
It's different from a pair of black dress slacks, and it's the ideal pair that strips away the dowdiness often associated with beige.
It's the perfect balance—not too casual, but not as formal as dress slacks.
It's an item that is easy to pick up, not just for adults, but for people of my generation as well.
Actually, seeing Y-kun, who is younger than me, choosing them last Saturday made me want them even more haha.
These are chinos you can't go wrong with.
Please, give them a try!
