Our pants cover 3 sizes in one pair, so you don't have to worry about finding the perfect fit. Crafted from medium weight 100% cotton Denim for durability. Made in Japan.

Why do we make so few sizes?
We pattern our clothing to fit as many bodies as we can. Less size variation also means less wasted fabric and less overproduction.
Clothing for men? Or women?
Postalco items have always been non gendered. Beginning with the very first Legal Envelopes we made back in 2000.
We use no stretchy synthetics in our denim so it won't lose its shape after one season. Unfortunately elastane, the rubbery fibers added to jeans to make them stretch, often breaks down before the rest of the fabric, leaving you with a floppy shapeless garment. How do we make clothing without stretch denim that still feels good? The remarkable flexibility felt wearing this is entirely due to the fine-tuned twill weave and unique patternmaking. 100% cotton.
This medium weight denim has a natural irregularity in the yarn with a streaky texture that becomes more apparent with use. Like the grain on a piece of driftwood. Most jeans have the threads visible in front dyed dark while in the back the threads are white. These threads visible on the back are dyed black for a mellow aging that stays darker than usual. 11oz.
・Delicate machine wash 30℃ with like colors.
・Warm iron as needed, or dry clean.
・Do not bleach.
・Shade dry only, no tumble dry.
・100% cotton
・There is a small chance the color may crock or bleed, especially when wet.

Introducing the Tab Button
We believe in the importance of refined craftsmanship and that small details make a difference in daily experiences.
Designing a Button
Unlike traditional buttons that can be difficult to grasp and push through fabric, the Tab Button unique design makes it satisfying to use.
Goodbye belt
Belts are medieval. No belt needed for this unparalleled comfort. Adjust these pants instantly for your perfect fit.
Ever feel like your pants are trying to squeeze you to death?
These have a generous 12cm (4.7”) of adjustability to find the right fit at any moment.
How they work
In typical pants every time you take a large step or pedal a bicycle, your leg is held back. You can’t move smoothly. In the Step Pant we engineered a deep pleat on the front that expands when the leg is lifted. When you are standing straight the pants drape down cleanly.
Drawstrings and elastic can dig into the waist making us feel terrible.
So we divided the waistband into separate front and back sections so they’ll be comfortable all day. The side is where the adjustment happens. The pleats created by cinching the sides only makes the pants feel more comfortable.
These pants are made to be worn slouchy and low on the hips.
And they have a deep enough drop to wear at the waist height you like.

Our Denim
Woven in the Fukuyama area by a traditional weaver of denim with over 60 years of experience. We love this denim because it is not too heavy or stiff but still ages in the way that makes good denim famous. Fukuyama has a rich history of textiles, dating back to kimonos as well as contemporary workwear.

Don’t put Postalco items on a shelf or in a drawer. Their beauty is revealed through daily use. They will help you feel good at home and be ready in a meeting.
