Farmers' MONPE Muji Earth / thick / charcoal black / eel bed
Farmers' MONPE" for the ultimate in relaxation
MONPE" is a project to transform the "monpe", which was popular as farm work clothes, to fit the modern age while maintaining the comfort and workability of the monpe.
The "modern-style MONPE" developed by Eel's Bed is slimmer around the hips and below the knees. This " Farmer's MONPE " has a looser silhouette, closer to the old-fashioned MONPE. It is the best relaxing wear that lets you know the history and at the same time can be worn without feeling tight.
You can tell the difference in size and fabric.
[How to choose MONPE] is here.
Kurume Kasuri, which excels in breathability, water absorbency, and quick-drying properties
The fabric is Kurume Kasuri from the Chikugo region of southern Fukuoka Prefecture. It is woven loosely and softly on a vintage shuttle loom, so it is breathable and comfortable to wear. The more you use it, the more comfortable it becomes and the more it absorbs water and dries quickly, making it especially useful in summer!
Thick and durable. The more you wash it, the softer it becomes.
All of our standard monpae (thick) are made of knotted yarn called "nep," which gives the fabric a puffy appearance. (*Not a furball.) Depending on how often they are worn and washed, the knots will be removed a little after a few years and the fabric will settle down a little.
Farmers' MONPE" follows the old-fashioned monpe
This is a MONPE with generally loose lines, similar to the shape of an old-fashioned MONPE. Compared to modern-style MONPE, it has a wider silhouette around the hips and from the knees to the calves. It is recommended for those who want to wear it loosely, those who use it for work or exercise, and those who are concerned about the narrowness below the knees of the modern-style MONPE.
