The Making of a Dad Jean
As I mentioned in a recent post, Ken Sakata from Front Office is quickly becoming one of my favorite menswear creators.
In this post, he breaks down the process of creating the perfect dad jean, and it’s fascinating to see the thought that goes into designing a deceptively simple garment.
He talks about selecting the right fabric weight and how it affects the drape, then dives into the different washes and the distinct vibe each one gives off. Finally, there’s the cut and silhouette: a straight leg with a higher rise for that ideal balance of structure and ease.
Working on software for my job, I know the intention and thoughtfulness put into each detail. It’s interesting to see a breakdown of this same process for other creative fields.
