Available here is a pair of pants from Post Overalls. Post Overalls is one of the longer-running Japanese-American hybrid brands. That is, Post Overalls has a Japanese designer, Tsuyoshi Obuchi, but are based in the United States and mainly produce their clothing in the US (and also sometimes Japan). There are increasingly more such designers, including engineered garments, yuketen, and battenwear, to name a few. Inspiration is firmly in classic Americana and vintage work, sports and military wear, done in their own particular aesthetic.
This is Post Overalls’ take on classic work chinos. Material is 100% cotton in a medium weight. It is a straight leg silhouette, but with some pretty interesting details. For one, although completely invisible on the exterior, pockets use a striped cotton with a bit of lamé sparkle to them which makes for a nice little contrast. All pockets also have reinforcements in a nicely contrasting white stitching, including a coin pocket on the front and additional pocket on the rear right leg. Rear has an asymmetrical pocket setup and a cinch back for adjustment, as well as a logo tag on the waistband.
Post Overalls is one of those labels that gives a great amount of consideration to all aspects of their clothing, manufacturing at a very high level of quality and making some vintage inspired yet totally unique designs. This model is now sold out, but get it here at a fraction of the retail price.
Size is labeled a medium and fits a 32” waist. I measure the waist at 32”, inseam at 30”, rise at 12” and leg opening at 8.25”. The pants come in lightly used, good shape. There is some minor wear and fading throughout, but no holes, tears or stains. Made in the USA.
Shipping from Japan to anywhere will be $30.
