Cool balloon shorts by Mint for Sixh. before he started on Mint Neko. These are high waisted with a tab closure. The front apron with pleats can be left hanging from the metal buttons for a bit of drapery. You can tie the leg openings above your calves for the ballooning effect or leave them loose for a very wide triangular silhouette. From what I was told in the shop these were inspired by the pants worn by characters in DragonBall, that inspiration does come through when you think about it, it’s a cool homage.

These shorts are constructed in two layers where the shell is connected at the front and back while the inner layer is a more snug fit giving a cool hang to the shell when worn. I like the buttons on these too. This item is used and has been altered. These have been professionally tailored in the waist and hip slimming them down. There is no damage or other signs of wear but please be aware of the alteration.

These pants feature a very long drop and a nice drape. These are the second iteration of the design and added a sort of pyramid pocket design to the knees making walking upstairs without tripping easy and keeping the volume more fluffy in general. These pants are easy and comfortable to wear. This item is used, the only signs of wear that I see are some stray threads around the belt loops that could easily be trimmed off.

Lace-up back pockets and flecked white ‘rain pattern’ material make these pants distinct while the wrap around cut at the leg leads into a flare to be worn easily over boots. This item is used but shows no damage. There are some small areas of discoloration to the grommets on the pockets due to rubbing/sitting. These were worn as part of a suit with the rain pattern jacket which is also for sale here 🙂

I bought these pants from Mint when he visited my local H.Naoto shop a couple years ago. These were described as ‘ninja pants.’ The fabric on these is lightweight and a little rough. There are pleats to give that ballooning effect if you choose and ties to adjust the height/ballooning when tied and worn as shorts. The calf covers are removable and attach with buttons and can be zippered on and off as well, their width is adjustable by the lace up cording. The skirting fabric at the sides is a play on a traditional Japanese print, and can also be tucked under for the full black appearance. The versatility of these is really great. This item is used and shows maybe one or two tiny areas of pilling that are hard to spot. Otherwise I was not able to find any damage.

These wide pants from Sixh. are from the start of the more overtly ‘Mint Neko’ era of Mint’s designs. There is a pinstripe lining under the calves for rolling a cuff and the triangular drape of the side panels gives an interesting silhouette and can also be used as pockets. The grey color of the fabric gives a slightly blueish hue when the light catches adding some nice depth to the sturdy fabric. I bought these pants with the intention of having the waist tailored, but worried that altering them may be troublesome due to the design considerations and so they have sat unused. I hope these can find a loving home!

Wax coated heavy cotton pants, the wax rubs off with wear and tear giving a distressed look. These have been worn a few times and there is significant wear to the seat from riding a bicycle. Being that the wear is limited to only the seat I would recommend using some fine grit sandpaper to carefully remove the coating in other strategic areas to give a more coherent look / wear pattern. These pants match the waxed cotton jacket which is also for sale here on the shop. If bought with the jacket I’ll throw these in for $15, leave a note in the order details or shoot me an email before buying if you’re interested in both items.

Brand new and unworn. Nice cuffed hem and a subtle check pattern all over which is well pattern matched throughout the garment. Two side pockets and two back pockets.

Worn a few times but in excellent condition. Two zippered pockets and two regular pockets on the back. Three front pockets, one zipper, one snap, and one regular pocket. The elastic gathering in the legs gives a cool wrapping effect when worn. These are also great for tucking into boots.
