Scuba Utilities Okinawa

DESCRIPTION
  • SPECS
  • Fancy “Okinawa 301” denim, 12 Oz. left-hand twill indigo premium denim, “hairy” and slubby, solid white selvedge ID, a Sugar Cane Co proprietary fabric.
  • Milled in Japan on narrow shuttle looms, from a blend of 80% cotton and 20% Okinawan recycled sugar cane fibers.
  • PATTERN:
  • An original mfsc pattern inspired by vintage military swimmers trunks and UDT shorts, US Navy dungarees, Army field trousers and other utilitarian classic garments.
  • SPECS:
  • * Old school high rise, classic straight leg cut.* Adjustable waist strap with Mil-Specs double D-ring buckle, ½ inch ~ 1 inch cinch.* Waistband facing displaying denim selvedge ID.* No belt loops.* Front patch pocket original pattern, sandwiched in flat-felled outseam.* Double rear pockets, concealed selvedge ID on inside fold.* All four pockets cut using horizontal warp, in contrast with vertical warp of legs.* Button fly, black painted metal “donut” wreath tack buttons.* Chainstitch seam construction.* Black tonal stitching, 100% cotton thread.* Original mfsc Frogsville woven rayon label.
  • SIZING/FIT
  • We recommend the following simple initial process.
  • Cold soak garment for about 30 mn in bathtub or washing machine, with occasional hand agitation.
  • Spin dry (spinning cycle) if using a washing machine.
  • The resulting stiffness of the garment is due to the reactivated starch in the denim fabric, and is normal.
  • Stiffness will easily subside with normal wear, fabric will soften.
  • CL's Advice: The D-ring waist strap allows for about ½ inch to one inch cinch.
  • I opted for a W31 in the Scuba Utilities, fully cinched, for a comfortable fit (I wear a W32 in all models of Scuba Trunks.) I’m about 5’7 / 145-150 lbs.
  • CARE
  • Wash when necessary, using appropriate methods pertaining to premium denim.
  • We recommend turning garment inside-out to avoid potential marbling of the denim fabric.
  • Wash separately from light-colored garments.
  • Using a heat dryer may result in excessive and irreversible shrinkage.
  • As with all indigo-dyed denim, temporary croaking (color bleeding) is to be expected, as the indigo color could potentially rub on light color garments and furniture.
  • STORY
  • These came about as we were considering turning the Scuba Trunks pattern – inspired by old school UDT combat swimmer shorts – into a pair of pants.
  • The mission? Coming up with a pair of dungarees not related to the ubiquitous 5-pocket jeans, that could have existed.
  • “Wanna turn shorts into pants?”, I quipped, “Here it is, Barney-style, just add legs!”
  • The Mister Freedom® Design Dept kindly remarked that morphing our swim trunks into a pair of practical work pants may take a few more cups of brain juice.
  • First, we needed front pockets for functionality, so we borrowed the patch pocket design (sandwiched in the outseam) of our Utility Trousers from 2015.
  • For the back of the pants, the single square pocket of the trunks felt too plain, so we tapped our Swabbies for a more visually-pleasing rear pocketing design.
  • We also needed two pockets, to balance with the absence of back yoke, also a feature of our classic Speedways, anecdotally.
  • The four pockets are cut using horizontal warp, in contrast with the traditional vertical warp used for the legs, which always makes for interesting fabric roping and patina.
  • We of course kept the no-belt loops style waist band and D-ring cinch strap, pure vintage UDT shorts legacy.
  • There it is.
  • A modern day wearable blending vintage military aesthetics and utilitarian clothing functionality.
