The incredibly popular Japanese denim brand Iron Heart’s incredibly popular Japanese Wabash Painter’s Pants are back in stock. If you’ve never seen how Iron Hearts Wabash fabric fades, let me tell you, it’s beautiful – not to mention extremely durable. IH puts a metric ton of time into the making of their fabrics. They also put a ton of time into the making of the things they turn their fabrics into, no surprise there.
The IH Japanese Wabash Painter’s Pants come with all the things you need to “work”comfortably, in style – slash front pockets, reinforced back patch pockets, some nifty side pockets to store your, uh, paintbrushes? Or, you know, your EDC. There’s a silhouette-appropriate hammer loop, too, no more putting your trusty hammer into your pocket.
These pants feature a 12 oz cotton Wabash fabric, available in sulfur-dyed black and indigo, with discharge printed (bleached) Wabash dots – so you know they’re legit. And, will age well. They’re also all sewn up in Japan by IHs highly skilled craftspeople, with single/double/triple needle stitching, bar tack reinforcements, rivet reinforcements, chain stitched waistband, metal button waistband closure, Talon zip-fly, overlock-stitched reinforcements, and IH tag.
Available for $310 from Iron Heart International.
