At Alzac Kamakura, we cherish "clothing that carries the weight of history." What we would like to introduce this time are French military motorcycle pants, which are considered a "masterpiece" among the many military vintage items due to their overwhelming presence.

This watch was worn by the French military's motorcycle corps from World War II through the 1950s. It is rare to find it these days, and we have it in excellent deadstock condition.

The first thing that stands out is the thickness and rigidity of the fabric. The extra-thick cotton canvas was woven to protect the rider from wind pressure and friction while riding. It has a heavy feel that is rarely seen in modern clothing, and the moment you touch it, you can sense the power of military standards (mil-spec) of the time.

In its deadstock state, the item is still stiff and rough-looking, but with repeated wear and washing, the distinctive "creases" of canvas will appear, allowing you to enjoy the three-dimensional aging process that is just like a sculpture.

An original silhouette born from the pursuit of functionality.

These pants are designed for riding a motorcycle and are dotted with unique details.

• Extra-thick, wide silhouette : Designed as overpants, the width of the body is very wide, creating an impressive line that gradually widens towards the hem.

• Double belt at the waist : The iconic belt at the front makes it easy to put on and take off, and is designed to keep out the wind. It also serves as an excellent accent around the waist when tucked in.

• Hem adjuster : The belt for tightening the hem not only changes the silhouette, but also adds a sexy touch when worn with boots.

This time, we have prepared two pages to suit size and individual differences.
Starting to wear these deadstock pairs means you can take your own first steps with this historic pair of shoes.
