WILDSIDE’s Featured items: An In-Depth Review

“The soul of a three-year old persists to one hundred.” This Japanese proverb is well said.
It describes how the traits a child acquires stay with them even as they grow older.
The moment I laid eyes on these WILDSIDE cargo pants, I thought to myself that this also holds true in fashion.

When I first became interested in fashion, my mentors, one and all, taught me just how cool military-style items are. As I fell deeper into the genre, I began to understand terminology that initially sounded like the words of some spell. I remember collecting many variations of the same “mili-jake (military jacket)” and “Mods Parka (fishtail parka)”. These pants reminded me of this memory.
They’re more than enough to give me a premonition of a “resurgence of military items” in fashion. The Katsuragi Cotton chosen for these pants are just the right thickness, skillfully preserving the heavy feel from that period’s fabric while updating it for a light and exhilarating wearing experience. The rear of the waist has also been rubberized, making it easy to wear.

These pants respect their roots and embody the notion that one must learn from the past to discover the future.
There is a sense of refinement to them that allows them to blend into urban environments old and new.
