The logger jacket is believed to have been worn by CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) members around 1934, though the design itself dates back to the 1920s when it was used by forest workers. The upper chest is reinforced with a double-layer structure, offering durability while helping prevent rain from seeping through—reflecting a functional, tool-like design philosophy. The minimal pattern cutting and incorporation of selvedge panels suggest an efficient and highly robust approach to garment construction. The tough cotton canvas fabric is said to have been originally selected by the Philadelphia Quartermaster Depot—responsible for producing garments for the U.S. Army at the time—for CCC tents and sleeping bags, making it likely that this jacket was born using the same material during the same period. Honoring the original, we added seam pockets as a functional update. The garment is dyed in colors inspired by those worn by forest workers. As a special piece, these pants are dyed with kakishibu (fermented persimmon tannin), which has traditionally been used to strengthen fabric. In addition, a unique ink-marbling pattern called Suminagashi, resembling the rings of a tree, was individually transferred from the surface of water. This marbling technique, originating from a pastime of the Heian period, involves dripping ink slowly at the center of a water surface. Over time, irregular concentric rings resembling tree rings form. Each garment is floated on this inked surface and the pattern is transferred. Due to subtle movements in the air and water, no two patterns are ever the same. By entrusting the final touch to nature, the design captures not only the uncontrollable beauty of natural forces, but also the passage of time as each ring forms.
