A jean interpretation of the Working Slack Pant, translating the dual side seam through to denim, with patch pockets, olive green herringbone twill pocket bags, and concealed zip/flap pockets at each hip. The split selvage outseam references Lee half-selvage models, but instead the selvage is full with an added shaping panel. Selvage seams can only be straight, so to add shape to the leg an extra, tapering panel is added between the straight selvage edges.
Featuring the same deep fly as the Slack Pant, referencing bondage trousers and achieving a cleaner front aspect, loop-over belt loops continue through to the inside of the garment, allowing a drawcord to be threaded through the inside of the jean, worn beltless.
Available in rinsed 14oz selvage denim
Working SKEWed is made at Edwin Japan’s experimental ‘SKEWed’ production facility,
combining their in-house weaving and sewing expertise with Working’s experimental design approach.
For Book 01, we have made extensive use of darment dyeing processes, as found extensively in both Williams’ work on Tender and various Massimo Osti related productions, as worked on by Robert. For us, garment dyeing is the ‘birth’ of the garment - sinking thread into cloth, beginning to soften and agitate the fabric, and bringing all the separate components and materials together in a shared dye bath. It is this process of alchemy which gives the garment its character.

SAGE SMUDGE
Soft green-grey from the dried leaves of the sage plant, used in European witchcraft and superstition to clean a house of bad spirits and create good energy. A bundle of dried sage leaves is called a ‘smudge’- ‘smudging’ is lighting the bundle and waving it arrive a room, sometimes chanting a spell or incantation.
