About this piece
Dark grey denim shorts with a spider and its web printed on the thighs
A spider on the left thigh and its web on the right. Both are printed in black on a dark grey denim faded to brown at the thigh, with a scribbled script across the back pocket and a second spider beside it, and the cut is a relaxed five-pocket short to the knee with a clean hem. The spider is drawn large, legs out, and the web fills the other leg.
It is the pair in the collection with the most attitude, and the grey ground is what keeps the spider from being a cartoon: on grey it reads as a shadow.
The name, Kumonosu, is the spider's web, the thing on the right leg, and the spider on the left is the reason for it.
The cloth is denim, washed so the colour has already moved where a pair of shorts moves it, at the thigh and the seat, chosen because denim shorts are the ones worn most in a summer and the ones that look best at the end of one. The cut is a relaxed knee-length short with a five-pocket front, a button or zip fly and a waist that takes a belt.
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 camp shirt open over the top, and nothing else with a pattern.
The spider and the web are printed into the denim, not applied, so they fade with the cloth rather than cracking, and the script at the back is small and scrawled, the mark of the design.
They wash cold, inside out, with their own colour the first time, and hang to dry; the wash keeps moving at the seams, which is the point of denim, and the frayed hems fray a little more and then stop.
From across a street they are dark shorts with a dark shape on each leg. From close the shape is a spider with every leg and a web with every strand, and the fade shows its brown. They are the pair for someone who wants a print on their shorts and does not want a flower.
Sizes run from S to XL. It is cut to Asian sizing and runs small, so take one size up from your usual. Between two sizes, take the larger.
Questions about the japanese shorts
What kind of shorts are these?
Denim shorts in the Japanese street style, knee-length and relaxed: washed, frayed, pieced, patched, embroidered or printed, with one pair in leather-look synthetic and one long cargo short in a woven cloth. Every page says which, and every pair was photographed with a white tee and white trainers.
Does it run small?
Yes. Our pieces are cut to Asian sizing, which runs smaller than US sizing. Take one size up from your usual; between two sizes, take the larger. Measurements taken flat are in the size guide.
What is it made of?
Cotton denim for the denim shorts, raw or washed as the page says; a synthetic leather for the studded pair; a polyester-cotton blend for the cargo short.
Will the fraying continue?
A little, then it stops at the stitching. Raw hems are cut and washed once before they reach you, so the fray has started and settled.
Is it made in Japan?
No. It is a Japanese design, made in Asia. We say so on every page.
How do I wash it?
Cold, inside out, with their own colour the first time, and hang to dry. Rhinestones go in a wash bag; the leather-look pair is wiped, not washed.
What we sell, and what we don't
Japanese designs, made in Asia. Cotton, linen or polyester as stated on each piece, never silk. We say so on every page, because the alternative is selling you a word instead of a garment.
