EEL, which stands for Easy Earl Life (We are unclear at this moment who Earl is, but it is Japanese slang for “a comfortable and noble life”), sticks with absolute consistency to a very distinct silhouette. Every product is loose and boxy but by no means baggy or slouchy. Blending traditional Japanese clothing with circa 1950s western menswear, lines are crisp and seams hit precisely where they are meant to. It is less a young man wearing his father’s suit, and more Marlon Brando merged with Samurai Champloo.
This distinctive fit takes on summer vibes with the I Be Road pant. Cut from a 76% cotton and 24% linen fabric that accentuates the flowy nature of the vintage wide-leg pant, you will make the most of any cooling zephyrs cutting through the summer heat. An elastic waistband is equipped with a drawstring for a secure but forgiving fit, while a deep drop crotch allows for uninhibited flexibility. Three vented pockets, two side and one rear, allow for any standard EDC items.
As a small styling and functionality tip, the wide fit leg works best with a single turned up cuff. This will create a small gap between the pant leg and your shoe, accentuating the cut of the pant. During particularly hot days, it will also create room for airflow through the pants. So embrace some wide fit linen and keep things breezy this summer.
Available for $167 from Sun-House.
