Kapital’s HAPPY Painter Pants Aren’t Painter Pants

Just when you think you’ve seen it all, Kapital comes along with other ideas. The Denim HAPPY Painter Pants aren’t painter pants, but they’re sure as hell a left-field pair of denim pants that are different from anything else on the market — exactly where Kapital feels most at home.

Let’s start from the top, these are made in Japan from 100% cotton indigo denim, a pretty loose fit all the way down with one of the highest rises we’ve seen, and a knee pleat detail that accentuates the taper below the knee. The asymmetric colored denim panels used throughout are a unique feature that elevates an already unique piece, but the standout feature of these beauties is the pockets. Just the one slash-entry patch pocket on the front which looks to be the size of 2 pockets put together with an exaggerated curved bottom, one of the back pockets is also sacrificed for a triangle-shaped denim patch which sits alongside an oversized square one on the other side. Crazy? Yes. Does it work? Well, that’s down to you, but we think so.

A leather back patch serves as the solo branding hit on these unmistakable pants which are available from Blue in Green priced at $184
