The \u003cstrong\u003eKETTAN RAILWAY by Thinking MU\u003c\/strong\u003e features a warm brown base with fine vertical stripes in blue and reddish purple. Quiet enough to combine easily, but definitely not boring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd do take a look at that fabric. This isn't some thin summer pair of pants, but a sturdy garment made from \u003cstrong\u003e100% organic cotton\u003c\/strong\u003e with a substantial weight of \u003cstrong\u003e322 gsm\u003c\/strong\u003e. This gives it real body and a lovely denim-like look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExtra special: this fabric was made using \u003cstrong\u003enatural dyes\u003c\/strong\u003e. This gives the color a bit more life and character than a completely uniformly dyed fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do the Thinking MU KETTAN trousers fit?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe really need to pause here, because while Thinking MU calls this a regular fit, they also explicitly state that the model \u003cstrong\u003eis quite slim and close-fitting\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo: don't expect wide-leg trousers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe KETTAN has a \u003cstrong\u003elow waist\u003c\/strong\u003e, a straight leg, and relatively little stretch. If you want to wear them nicely fitted as intended, you can try your normal size. Don't like tight trousers, are you between sizes, or do you just want a bit more room to move? \u003cstrong\u003eThen choose one size up.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is exactly the type of trousers where we prefer to warn you beforehand rather than you thinking at home: uh oh... where is my bum supposed to go?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat kind of model are the KETTAN RAILWAY trousers?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe trousers feature a low waist and a straight leg. This gives them a bit of that retro jeans look, while the fine stripes make them look slightly dressier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eLow waist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight legs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eLittle stretch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eZipper and button closure at the front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eSide pockets and back pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eSturdy denim-like fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eVertical stripes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eNatural dyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003cli\u003eLong length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe vertical stripes also give the trousers a nice elongating effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the Thinking MU KETTAN trousers made of?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe KETTAN is made of \u003cstrong\u003e100% organic cotton\u003c\/strong\u003e. The fabric weighs \u003cstrong\u003e322 gsm\u003c\/strong\u003e, which means it is a fairly sturdy cotton fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou can feel it when you put them on: they have more structure than thin cotton trousers and therefore hold their shape well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThinking MU describes the fabric as denim and uses yarns for this version that have been colored with \u003cstrong\u003enatural dyes\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does dyeing with natural dyes mean?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor these KETTAN trousers, natural dyes were used instead of only conventional synthetic dyes. That, of course, fits perfectly with the character of Thinking MU.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut that comes with a caveat: natural dye can sometimes behave a bit less predictably. Small color variations are part of these types of fabrics and make every pair of trousers unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTherefore, always wash them carefully and inside out, and it is best to keep dark or strongly colored clothing separate for the first few washes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you style these striped trousers?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs far as I'm concerned, you don't need much else on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn ecru T-shirt, a nice wool sweater, or a simple dark blue cardigan and you're done.
