Nonnative Japan black denim military style pants, size 2 (34”)

$34.99

For sale here is a pair of pants from the Nonnative label, one of Japan’s up and coming streetwear/casual wear labels. Their influences tend to go somewhere between traditional work and outer wear, with some hints of military influences as well. That in itself is somewhat common among Japanese brands, although in Nonnative’s case they aim for a more timeless design, one less dictated by fashion and trends, opting for quality over flashiness. Detailing and quality are paramount here, and you’ve definitely got plenty of it.

These pants seem to be military inspired, but Nonnative have also put their own particular spin on it. Material is 100% cotton coming in a pretty light weight cotton denim. My guess is around 8 oz or so. Being denim, the fabric here should pleasantly fade to gray with time and wear. Silhouette seems to reference vintage backer pants with the large front patch pockets. However, pocket entry is on the top rather than the side. The twist comes with the addition of extra snap pockets under the top pocket that use side entry. This means there are four pockets on the front. Rear has two large pockets, as well as an additional tool pocket on the right side. Lots of pockets here that should cover all of your storage needs.

Nonnative is one of those labels that carefully considers all aspects of their designs. Nothing is out of place and these should ensure both comfort and practical convenience. They are pretty highly underrated outside of Japan but are well worth checking out. Retail on these pants is about $300 in Japan and even more abroad if you can find them, but get it here much more reasonably.

Size is labeled a 2, fitting a 34 inch waist well. I measure the waist at 34”, rise at 12”, inseam at 26” (although the longer rise should add an extra inch or two to the length) and leg opening at 8”. This is a straight leg fit, neither too loose or too slim but right in the middle. The pants come in lightly used, very good shape. There is some minor, artful fading but no holes, tears or stains. Made in Japan.

Shipping from Japan to anywhere will be $30.
