Bontan Pant – Nepenthes SP – Natural Chino Twill

The Bontan Pant, a wide style pant derived from mid-20th century Japanese school uniforms. Back again this season for Nepenthes special. Pleats are at the heart of Engineered Garments' Bontan Pant. Though the original version had just two pleats, Daiki placed the equivalent of 3 pleats on this updated version, with a reverse pleat and a kissing pleat, for extravagant volume. There are even more twists, including a crisscross belt loop, notch on the rear waist, and back pockets that feature double welting - like a besom pocket - but have a tuckable flap. Like the Engineered Garments WP Pant, the Bontan is constructed with half a waistband (front side only), with the pleats tucked beneath, while the stitching for the rear four darts continues up the pants on the back. Designed for wear higher on the waist, they have a higher rise, longer inseam, and a slight taper, meaning they easily integrate into dressier outfits for a bold look.
