Mechanic Pants - Olive Scarecrow
This is a demo site. Orders will not be fulfilled or processed.
A classic workwear trouser done the Story mfg. way—with plenty of room and delicious natural dyes. The organic cotton textile is coloured with Palpattai (Jackfruit dye) and darkened with the addition of iron to the mix to achieve a rich olive green. Patchwork created from production offcuts give the trousers a handicraft look.
PALPATTAI: Jackfruit dyeing—a technique almost lost to time—was saved by one of the dyehouses Story mfg. works with after years of researching a rumour. Jackfruit waste wood is shred, sun-dried and boiled into a tea for dyeing in a process which takes 4-10 days depending on the tone of colour required.
IRON: Traditionally used as a way to darken dyes, Story mfg. use iron to create their olive and black colours when paired with other natural dyes.
→ NOTE: Due to the unique dying process and handmade nature of Story mfg. no two pieces look exactly the same. Variations in colour and pattern are a design feature.
