Q: Summer is inevitably hot... Are there any slacks that are even slightly more comfortable to wear?

A. We recommend spring/summer slacks from a specialized slacks brand. Prioritize coolness and comfort while also paying attention to the tailoring.

Summer is in full swing, and a tough season has arrived for businessmen. For comfortable summer slacks Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building look no further than the business clothing section on the 5th floor of the Men's Building at Isetan Shinjuku Store! This time, we recommend slacks from the brand m039. Models made with spring/summer fabrics are not only cool to wear, but as a brand specializing in slacks, the comfort is truly exceptional. We'll introduce you to fabrics recommended for summer and the comfort of m039 slacks.


Left: Schon Hertro This fabric, woven using a very slow loom and requiring ample time and effort, has a soft finish due to the low tension on the threads, and its appeal lies in its breathability and texture.
Trousers: ¥20,520 (tax included)

Center: Mohair pinhead
Mohair is a fabric woven from the hair of Angora goats (Angora being the former name of Ankara, the capital of Turkey). Its excellent breathability helps to reduce the stickiness caused by sweat, which is common in summer. This time, we've added a pinhead pattern (small dots resembling the head of a needle) to the mohair fabric, allowing you to enjoy a slightly different look from a solid color.
Trousers: ¥28,080 (tax included)

Right: Pre-dyed cotton weather
Its most distinctive feature is its appearance – it looks like wool, but is actually cotton. It offers the smooth, comfortable feel unique to cotton, and its wool-like appearance makes it suitable for business attire as well. Furthermore, the yarn-dyed fabric enhances its texture and stretchiness, making it versatile for various occasions.

Next, here's why they're so comfortable! About the tailoring of the m039.


In the photo above, the left pair is from m039 and the right pair is from another company. The most distinctive feature is the silhouette when viewed from the side, which resembles the letter "m" in the brand name. The tailoring, which is curved to match the joints and muscles of the human body, conforms well to the body's movements, making them not only easy to wear but also creating a leg-lengthening effect due to the high hip position. Furthermore, the forward-swept hem falls neatly, resulting in a beautiful finish all the way to the toes.


Next, let's look at the front. The key feature of these pants that makes them so comfortable is the crotch area (around the base of the legs). Comparing the photos, you can see that the center of the crotch area is neatly fitted on the left, but wrinkles are visible horizontally on the right. This is because the m039 has a larger front and back crotch area than other slacks, which reduces pressure when sitting.


So, what did you think? Let's get through the summer in a comfortable business style that focuses on fabric and fit!
