Wool Line Pants

These track pants for adults were born from a suggestion by director Naoko Okusa. This series was designed by Mie Kadowaki, director of , a brand Okusa trusts. Similar to the popular "Wool Jacket" from last year, these pants have been re-released in a different color to match this season's "black" theme.

The material used is "wool super raw material," a fine, lustrous, high-quality wool. Furthermore, by using a tightly woven "compact twill" fabric, we achieved a moderate firmness and elegant three-dimensional quality.

To achieve a deep, lustrous black, we employed "double black dyeing," a method also used for formal wear and high-end suits. This gives the pants a luxurious and impactful presence.

While track pants often have a sporty image, by using high-quality wool and focusing on the dyeing process, we've created a refined and elegant impression. Additionally, the side stripes are in the same color, making them appear like simple trousers at first glance, making them easier for adults to incorporate into their wardrobe. The stripe sections use high-density "double-woven satin fabric," adding a touch of luxury.

Based on a high-waisted, straight silhouette, the side stripes and center press create the illusion of longer, slender legs, making these truly flattering pants. Even customers who tried them on at last year's POP UP were impressed. The waistband is also designed like dress trousers, rather than elastic, which further enhances the dignified impression.

In addition to pairing them with a jacket made of the same material, we also recommend a smart casual style with a sweatshirt.

Launched in AW 2024 by stylist Naoko Okusa. This brand, like magazine content, captures the mood of the moment and expresses it as a new style. The brand name "NO.b" combines the initials of the publisher (director), Naoko Okusa ("NO"), and the "b" from Okusa's favorites: "book, beer, black, beach." The brand aims to deliver "issue after issue" of surprise and joy, embodying the real experiences of busy daily life, the excitement of proposing slightly ahead-of-the-curve styles, and the atmosphere of the times. This second collection is themed around "black."
