For sale here is a pair of pants from the Barena label. Barena goes back to the early 1960s, where they have produced almost exclusively in Venice and have continually pursued a traditional Italian look. It’s something equally modern and heritage, where are carried by the likes of Mr. Porter on the one hand, and are distributed in Japan by the Nepenthes company (the same people responsible for Needles and Engineered Garments) on the other.
In this case we have a classic pair of corduroy pants. Fabric is 100% cotton, coming in a pretty thick wale. To me these pants reference a late 1960s style cut, where the fit is a bit relaxed but not flared as you would see with the 70s. Colorway also looks like something from the late 60s, coming in a nice earthen green.
Like most Barena, the pants are somewhat traditional in design and nondescript, but at the same time have some really excellent tailoring and materials. Features a metal laurel wreath waistband button and a zip fly. It is a straight leg fit, somewhat relaxed in the top block with a slight taper toward the ankles. It is made it be casual and integrated with a wide range of clothing, but at the same time smart and able to take a beating. Retail is around $300 on these. Get them here much more reasonably.
Size is labeled a 48. I measure the waist at 32” / 82cm, inseam at 27” / 69cm, rise at 12” / 31cm and leg opening at 7.25” / 19cm. The pants come in lightly used, excellent shape with no holes, tears or stains. Made in Italy.
Shipping from Japan to anywhere will be $30.
