Up for sale here is a pair of pants from Stevenson Overall Co., another Japanese “American causal” label. Stevenson Overall get their name from a vintage clothing brand, and the label makes a number of nods to old-time clothes, taking elements from early functional clothing (including workwear, military and outdoor clothing) and mixing them with their own unique take. It’s a similar approach to what Mister Freedom does, although for Stevenson Overall it strikes me as more workwear-oriented, rather than the more military-inspired flavor Mister Freedom has.
This is Stevenson’s “Salinas” model of pants – most of their pants are named after different California towns. The Salinas are Stevenson’s take on classic carpenter pants. Fabric is a gray-blue indigo dyed denim, standard in weight (somewhere around 10 to 12 oz would be my guess). Although blue is the most common shade by far, indigo can actually be incorporated into a number of different shades from gray to purple, and these pants have likewise been indigo dyed. Like any quality indigo they should pleasantly fade and develop with wear. Details include branded metal donut waistband button, zip fly, looped pockets, slightly thicker belt loops than usual, rear pockets partially lined, and carpenter pants configuration with an additional tool pocket on the right leg. These pants retail in the $300-$320 range outside of Japan. Get it here much more reasonably.
Size is labeled a 32 and fits true. I measure the waist at 32”, inseam at 33”, rise at 10.5” and opening at the bottom of the leg at 9.5”. This is a straight leg fit. The pants come in lightly used, very good shape with no holes, tears or stains. Made in Japan.
Shipping from Japan to anywhere will be $30.
