Thank you for your continued patronage of Nigel Cabourn.
I'm Uenishi, a new employee at the Okayama Store.
In my previous job, I worked for a denim brand in Okayama for about four years.
I will use this experience and knowledge to bring the charm of Nigel Cabourn to everyone!
The item I would like to introduce this time is the RAILMAN DENIM PANT - BLACK DENIM, which I purchase on my very first time at work and have been wearing every day since.
RAILMAN DENIM PANT - BLACK DENIM
Item No. 80500050026
Colour : Black
Size : 28 / 30 / 32 / 34 / 36
This item is a denim reproduction of workwear clothes from approximately 100 years ago, pants that were worn by railway workers in the 1920's.
Speaking of railways, in the 1920's, the Orient Express popularity was at its height in Europe.
The years after the war were difficult, with many periods of shortages. A variety of details were incorporated into railway workers pants to give them ease of movement and durability.
If you want to dig deeper into the details, Mr Sano from the flagship store has explained much about these pants, so please read the blog HERE.
I had been thinking carefully about which item I should buy first, and the words "workwear from 100 years ago" sounded quite daunting, but the added promise of "sulfur dyed" and "rigid", I had tried them on and before I knew it I was at the cash register.
180cm / Wearing size: 30
Wearing period: 3 weeks
At my previous job, I would buy rigid denim pants and wear them every day, and I think that's what is interesting about rigid denim, is that through wear they can reflect your life.
For example, if someone who enjoyed sea fishing wore them, the sea breeze and seawater will come into contact with the denim, giving it a look that wouldn't happen if just worn around town. And if someone who motorcycles wears them, the denim will age along with the bike.
I think the best thing about rigid pants is that they allow you to express your lifestyle, which is something you can't do with second hand or pre-distressed pants.
In my case, I skateboard as a hoby, and everytime I did a move, the hem of my pants would wear down, until finally one leg was completely worn out.
I think it's hard to convey through words alone, so although they aren't denim pants, I'll show you my personal M-51 pants with damage at the hem from skateboarding.
To anyone who doesn't understand, these pants probably look strange with damage to just one leg.
However, it's my life that is reflected in these details.
The RAILMAN DENIM PANT - BLACK DENIM that I purchased are still like new right now, but I will wear them a lot while skateboarding in the hot days to come, so I will show them again once they have taken on a new look!
Come to the store and try our rigid denim pants, perfect for summer!
