Light Wash Denim Joggers 'Usuai'

Light-wash denim joggers with a ribbed ankle, a red zip and a patch

Denim cut like a jogger is the most comfortable thing denim has ever done, and these are the proof. Light-wash blue, faded at the thighs, with a soft drawstring waist, a ribbed cuff at the ankle, a zipped pocket on the right thigh with a red zip, and a small woven patch over a cargo pocket on the left. The rest is a five-pocket jean above the knee and a jogger below it.

It is the denim pair of the collection for someone who does not want to sit in a pair of jeans all day, and the pale wash keeps it summer.

The name, Usuai, is pale indigo, the blue of the wash, and the trousers are that colour with a red zip on it.

The cut is a jogger: a soft waistband with a drawstring, room through the thigh, a taper to the knee and a ribbed cuff at the ankle that sits on the trainer. It is the shape Tokyo wears to the convenience store and to the club, and it does both. The cloth is denim, washed so the colour has already moved at the seams, chosen because denim gets better with the years and a jogger cut in it is the most comfortable thing denim has ever been asked to do. The cuff is a ribbed knit sewn to the denim, and it holds.

Wear them with a white tee and white trainers, as in the photograph, which is the outfit every pair in this collection was photographed in and the one they are all best in. A black tee in the evening, a haori or a sukajan over the top when it turns, and nothing else with a pattern below the waist.

They wash cold, inside out, with their own colour the first time, and hang; the pale blue keeps fading at the thighs, which is where it should.

From across a street they are pale denim joggers. From close the wash shows its fade, the zip its red, the patch its weave, and the cuff its rib. They are the pair for a long day that starts on a train.

The patch on the thigh is woven and small, the mark of the design rather than a brand you would know, and the cargo pocket beneath it is real. The waist is a flat elastic under the drawstring with two cords ending in white tips.

Sizes run from S to 5XL. It is cut to Asian sizing and runs small, so take one size up from your usual. Between two sizes, take the larger.
