DAWSON DENIM X TSPTR JUNGLE PANTS 10OZ NEPPY SELVEDGE

During the early part of the Vietnam War, US Special Forces Advisors and their CIA counterparts would procure specific garments to wear while incountry. These garments were usually selected for purposes of practicality, either for functionality or for their camouflage. Post Korea, new combat fatigues had yet to be developed and issued by the US Military so hunting clothing and bespoke garments were favoured by many. Mitchell pattern camouflage had been issued for helmet covers and half shelters, often the latter were appropriated, taken to a local tailor or while on R and R, and turn into a pair of custom combat pants or jacket. Pants would incorporate specific details and modifications required by the wearer. 

Our signature 10 oz. indigo-dyed selvedge fabric woven in Japan on vintage Imamura looms. A faithful reproduction of a pre-1930s quality, this fabric facilitates a traditional drape and ease of movement whilst ageing gracefully. Loaded with nep that provides a grainy pop amongst the deep indigo, this uniquely-textured fabric will fade into a palette of rich blues and chalky whites.
