WORKERS Baker Pants, Trace MIL-838-D, 10296 Reversed Sateen

The official name is "TROUSERS, MEN'S, COTTON, SATEEN," and it is commonly known as "Baker Pants." The pattern is dismantled and traced from the original MIL-T-838D (1958). Hem width: 24 cm. Wide thighs and deep rise, offering a relaxed silhouette. In summer, the wind blows through, and in winter, wearing leggings underneath prevents feeling cramped. The fabric and back satin are 'coarse back satin used in bakers,' created with reference to the MIL-T-838D and MIL-C-10296J (fabric specs). The texture is supple. Initially, it was sulfide dyeing, now it is slene dyeing. The early sulfide dyes were discontinued. Although the types of sulfide dyes changed, the next step was the dyeing process of "mercerized" (flattening the surface with alkali) ~ sulfide dyeing in one place. Doing "mercerized" ~ "dyeing" at a separate factory is not realistic for cost and quality stability. So, I switched to 'Slen dyeing.' For Slene, there's also an integrated factory for merce~ dyeing. A characteristic of Slen is that it fades less compared to sulfide. However, the scuffed areas do become 'bleached.' As you can see from the rolled stitching at the back, it's a striking change with sharp contrast. Sulfurization makes the whole area whitish and eventually the color is almost the same, but with slen, the difference between the rubbed and unrubbed areas is pronounced. Back satin is about 10 ounces, while poplin is about 6.2 ounces. In summer, I wore jungle fatig and cut grass, thinking, "Wouldn't making bakers with this thickness of poplin be perfect for midsummer?" However, the fabric thickness differs from back satin, so it can't be sewn well with the same sewing method. I made fine adjustments to the waist lining from chain to single stitch. The product has been sold out.
