#518 Japan Hemp Gabardine 5 Pocket - Dusk Blue

Note: We recommend sizing up one from your usual Gustin size.

Gabardine has a history going back hundreds of years, but functionality has always been at the core. An impossibly tight weave yields a natural water repellent property that's usually only possible via chemical treatments. It's been a workhorse fabric, ranging from military uniforms to some of the most storied rain coats. This version from Japan takes it a step further to make a gabardine that's functional and luxurious. The base is an ultra fine, tightly constructed 7 ounces. Then comes the hemp. The blend of hemp with cotton lends enhanced durability, breathability and temperature regulation. The result is a feel that is truly luxurious. It's extremely smooth and supple. The surface almost feels like it has a soft peached finish. The finish displays not shine, which is common with gabardines, yielding a more organic look. There is absolutely no stretch - a nod to the style's unique construction and functional properties. A wearable pant with luxurious and functional DNA.
