Continuing to deliver his subversive expression of Japanese-Western clothing, KOZABURO designer Kozaburo Akasaka recently released a pair of Kanji print Firefighter Sashiko Trousers.

The relaxed-fit trousers are constructed using a traditional Edo era sashiko weave pattern that provides durability and an interesting contrast-centric look. A graphic print centered around Kanji brush strokes accents the high-rise, four-pocket styling piece. Finishing up the design of the pants are modified belt loops at the waist, tonal stitching and a button closure.

Priced at $1,375 USD, KOZABURO’s Firefighter Sashiko Trousers are available now at SSENSE.

For more contemporary fashion, an array of prints and patterns dominates N.HOOLYWOOD’s FW19 collection.
