Sappa-kama: Traditional Workwear of Tohoku

Sappa-kama, or "monkey pants," were originally created as lightweight and agile workwear, enabling ease of movement like a monkey. Rooted in Tohoku's agricultural lifestyle, they were beloved by farmers and craftsmen alike.

Kyoya Dye Works has reimagined this traditional design with Sashiko-Stitched Sappakama, keeping the best features intact while making them more durable, functional, and stylish.

These pants are not just your work companion—they're fashionable enough to wear out. A reliable partner for both work and daily life, offering support that feels like an extension of your own feet.

Durable sashiko fabric built for heavy use

We selected robust single-thread sashiko fabric to withstand tough tasks like forestry work or DIY projects.

Sashiko fabric has a rich history dating back to the Edo period, renowned for its durability and strength, often used in firefighting hanten jackets. This medium-weight fabric, woven with thick black threads, strikes the perfect balance of sturdiness without feeling too stiff.

Its textured, distinctive weave is dyed in classic shades of navy, charcoal gray, and khaki.

Tailored to Fit Your Body and Movement

The shape features a relaxed fit from the waist through the thighs, tapering gently towards the ankles. This balance preserves the ease of movement essential for workwear while eliminating unnecessary bulk for a sharp, stylish silhouette.

Unique paneling at the inseam and calves—uncommon in regular pants—is carefully crafted to match the body’s natural contours and movements. The result? A pair of pants that feel great, move effortlessly, and are ready to take you wherever you need to go.

Easy to Use, Comfortable to Wear

With two large front pockets and two back pockets, these pants are perfect for holding everything you need on the go, making your work easier. The waistband features a convenient elastic design for easy wear, along with an adjustable drawstring for a snug fit.

Note:
Due to the dyeing process, slight variations in color may occur between items.

(Example) Please note that slight color variations, such as those seen in khaki, may occur. Thank you for your understanding.
