[outil/outil] 2026AW PANTALON BLESLE - OLIVE.
OUTIL / PANTALON BLESLE — OLIVE.
The lineage of plant dyeing × M-47.
Uti's classic cargo pants have arrived.
OUTIL's Pantalon Blesle has arrived. This is a classic model that has been produced by the brand for a long time. There's a good reason why you'll want to pick up these pants every season they arrive.
Based on the classic French military M-47 jacket, this garment is a reinterpretation using original plant-dyed fabric. These pants naturally connect two seemingly disparate elements—"military" and "plant dyeing"—through OUTIL's unique interpretation.
Refer to the rare canvas model,
We revived this style for the modern age using natural dyes made from willow and mulberry.
— What is the M-47? A masterpiece of military pants created by the French army.
The M-47 is a pair of military pants adopted by the French army in 1947. It features a practical design with large cargo pockets on the thighs and a unique waist design that eliminates the need for an adjuster belt. It was designed with actual combat use by the French army at the time in mind. Having been used in battlefields of the 1950s and 60s in which France was involved, such as the Indochina War and the Algerian War, it remains highly valued by vintage enthusiasts as a garment that holds the memory of its era.
OUTIL referenced a rare "canvas" model of the M-47, which is found in later and transitional versions. It has a different texture from the herringbone fabric used in the regular M-47, and is a rare model in the vintage market.
— The choice of natural dyeing. Olives dyed with willow and mulberry.
The fabric used for these Pantalombrelle trousers is an original fabric dyed using willow and mulberry leaves. It is a "plant-dyed" fabric, which uses natural pigments extracted from plants rather than chemical dyes.
The most distinctive feature of plant-dyed fabrics is that they don't dye uniformly. Because they are dyed by hand, slight variations in color occur from one item to another. This isn't a flaw, but rather a unique characteristic that can only be achieved with plant dyeing. Furthermore, the color fades with wear, the fabric softens, and a unique texture develops that is your own. The same pants, the same color, change depending on how you wear them—this richness of aging is one of the reasons why you can cherish Pantalon Bressle for a long time.
The material is a blend of 85% cotton and 15% hemp. The softness of cotton is combined with the strength and unique crispness of hemp, resulting in a fabric that maximizes the texture of the plant-dyed fabric.

— Frequently Asked Questions / FAQ
What kind of pants are OUTIL's Pantalombrelle?
These cargo pants are based on the French M-47 military pants and are made from a plant-dyed fabric (85% cotton, 15% hemp) dyed with willow and mulberry leaves. The wide tapered silhouette, button fly, cargo pockets, and double knees are characteristic details of the M-47, but OUTIL has reinterpreted them for the modern era.
How do I choose the right size of pantalombrelle trousers?
The basic rule is to choose your size based on your waist size. There are four sizes available: 00 (waist 67cm), 11 (76cm), 12 (81cm), and 13 (86cm). Women's sizes start from 00. Due to the relaxed silhouette of the wide tapered leg, there will be ample room in the inseam and thighs if the waist fits.
How do I wash and care for Pantalombrelle's plant-dyed garments?
Please wash this item separately. Use a detergent that does not contain fluorescent brighteners. Color transfer to other clothing may occur due to friction or when wet. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or fluorescent light may cause fading.
What does "BLESLE" mean?
BLESLE is the name of a real village in the Auvergne region of France. OUTIL has a tradition of naming its series of pants, jackets, and bags after French place names, and these pants are named in that context.
