Description
Inspired by hand-customized pants from the early 1900's, the Folk Pant is cut from a 10oz 100% cotton corduroy. This high quality fabric was sourced from a mill in Japan with a rich history dating back to the mid 19th century. The weight is perfect; not too heavy or too light, making it an ideal piece for year round wear. It features a wide leg, high rise, and standard length, reminiscent of styles from that era. It is finished with tonal double needle lap seam construction.
When creating this capsule we were inspired by American and European folk art of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. We saw numerous paintings, home objects, and even tools with this unique art style embedded into each. We created our own original folk art through a series of approaches; ranging from collage work (a method often used by some artists in their process of creating album artworks) to continuous line drawings (an art style that translates very well into embroidery). Our color palette was pulled from a series of different artworks that we felt best complimented each other with an emphasis on primary colors as a base. We felt that American and European folk art and workwear both had very strong ties to farming history. The former depicts imagery associated with the practice and the latter being used for it. In the world of Samuel Zelig it felt natural to relate the two ideas. Perhaps a family member found homemade folk art and a work jacket passed down by their relatives and recreated the artworks through hand embroidery.
