here is an on me picture of the Japanese style pants. the pants in these images are the original wool stripe of last year, so they've been worn, and washed. i washed them hot because i like my pants a little above the ankle, and they shrank up a bit. the fit of these pants is slim through the body, hip and thigh. straight down through to the hem. the dropped crotch panel is noticeable, but not exaggerated. it is there to allow a wide stance when practicing tai chi. there are no outer side seams. can be worn with the tie in the front or back. if you have any questions email me!
