Kumano

Open until 7pmIndependent shop in BallardDirections

Available from Kavu when we last checked, in the last two days. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

The Kumano keeps things straightforward with a relaxed fit, built-in belt, and a pocket setup that earns its keep. The 8oz fine stretch twill has enough structure to feel durable without getting stiff, while a little spandex gives you room to move. The ankle-length cut keeps the shape clean, and the elastic waist with patterned webbing belt makes dialing in the fit easy. Patch pockets, a dedicated wallet stay pocket, reinforced seams, and a gusset handle the practical side. The rest is just good
