Basic trousers #1 in striped red cotton

Take old trousers in which you saw death. Lay them on the roof on a night when thunder rolls but no rain falls. In the morning, put them on. If they feel heavy, you’ll be able to call the storm, but each time you’ll forget who you are.

Wide trousers cut using 1940's work trousers patterns from a replica of a traditional Russian fabric from the late 19th century, called 'pestrjad', woven especially for us in Siberia. Ivory white washed cotton lining from Uzbekistan. Vegetable-tanned leather buttons. Sorcery.
