Chizimi Cotton 20/20 Harem Pants/BORO IV IJ

What is "Skinny Pants (Enyuu-Baki)"?
The word originates from the fact that in the Meiji period, Sanyutei En-yuu III wore a white crotch band under his kimono when he performed the troupe trick "Steteko Odori". This type of pants is also known as "steteco".

About "BORO"...
The story dates back to more than 100 years ago, when fabric was a valuable commodity in the Meiji Era.
The kimonos, work kimono, underwear, and even bedding used by common people were used until they are worn out and then patched up again for reuse...
Clothes that have been made through this process over and over for decades, or even hundreds of years, are called BORO.
Today, the value and appeal of BORO as art are recognized around the world.
