Japanese Americana brand KAPITAL introduced the latest KOUNTRY reconstruction of its special denim designs made by the imprint's own denim artisans. The label takes the 14 oz 5P OKABILLY Gypsy Patchwork Remake and adorns the entire piece in a washed indigo color.
The silhouette boasts a slim-fit with a deep rise and a subtle taper cut. The light indigo blue base foundation is decorated with a variety of bright patchwork that are sewed directly onto the pants. To do so, it also informs the design with vibrant stitching and different textures added by the patchwork. The embroidery highlights smiling faces and floral patterning before it is rounded off with KAPITAL branding details. Some of these accents can be found in the form of branded hardware, leather patches on the back, and the interior tags.
