Buttons and leg belts are placed on the hem, and by fastening it, the hem is fixed and fits both feet. It transforms into a shape like a binder. This is a specification designed to make it easy to straddle a motorcycle, and since the hem does not roll up due to the wind while riding, it also provides protection against the cold.

The fabric is a super thick cotton twill. It is thought that the rubberized fabric of Mackintosh is used from the background of the times.
The rubberized fabric is a material that is made waterproof by impregnating the cotton fabric with rubber, and has been adopted so that it can be worn by riders even in bad weather.

Coupled with the yellowish brown color, it is finished in a strong presence.
