Kyushu Washed Cotton Balloon Trousers
How to spot the original Kyushu
Two flaps sit on the front of the high waistband with long thin ties falling from beneath them, while a single button and zip fly close the fixed, non-elastic waist.
Pressed front tucks under the waist give the legs their fullness, and a stitched seam runs from each flap down the centre of the leg, tracing the rounded balloon curve.
Soft washed cotton with a slightly lived-in surface and a non-iron finish; the wide hem can be worn long or turned up once into a clean cuff just above the ankle.

The shape
Cotton balloon trousers with a rounded leg
Full, rounded legs with generous volume at the knee curve gently back towards the ankle in a sculpted balloon shape.
The shape is soft rather than stiff, so it looks natural and moves beautifully as you walk.
It is a silhouette that makes a simple top look styled. The washed finish gives them a soft, relaxed look from the first wear.
The Kyushu trousers are made from soft washed cotton that feels relaxed and broken-in from the very first wear. The rounded balloon leg gives a modern, Japanese-inspired shape that looks effortless with a simple tee, a crisp shirt or a cosy knit. Cotton breathes beautifully, so they stay comfortable on warm days and keep you cool in heated offices.
The fabric
Soft washed cotton
The cotton has a soft, washed, slightly lived-in finish; it feels natural and breathable and softens with every wash.
A non-iron finish keeps them tidy without ironing, and they pack easily and dry quickly.
The high waist with neatly pressed front tucks gives the legs their fullness without adding bulk.
The washing process gives the cotton a gentle, lived-in texture and a softness that only improves with every wash. The ankle length shows off sandals, loafers and clean trainers, and the roomy cut gives plenty of space to move freely. They are perfect for city breaks, summer weekends, gallery visits and relaxed office days.


The fit

The waist measures 60 cm on the S up to 74 cm on the 2XL, and the length is 96 to 99 cm, just above the ankle. The waist is fixed, not elastic, so measure your waist and compare it with the chart.
