Comment	These popular cotton monpe, sometime called Japanese gardening pants, are 100% Japanese made. The kasuri fabric was was woven at a small family owned company located in Kurume, Kyushu Island. The fabric was sold to a another small family operated sewing company in the same town where we acquire them.
Size	See last photo row These pants are designed to fit loosely. These monpe will shrink after the first washing to the size in the size diagram.

Note: The monpe's fabric is somewhat stiff due to containing a small amount of sizing used during the weaving process. After the several washings, the fabric will soften to become very comfortable. The monpe should be washed separately from other clothing at least for the first time because of possible dye bleeding.
