Currently, summer business style is at a turning point. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has expanded 'Tokyo Cool Biz', allowing half-pants to be worn even at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. In addition, the casualization of business wear is accelerating in various local governments to improve cooling efficiency. However, the 'correct answer' for wearing half-pants in a business setting has not yet been established. Many people express anxiety when adopting them, wondering if they will 'stand out in the office' or if they are 'appropriate as personal grooming'. Therefore, our company, which has handled numerous business items, proposes business-oriented half-pants that can be worn comfortably even during internal meetings and desk work as a new summer business style.

This product is characterized by a neat and clean feeling appropriate for business scenes. The length has been meticulously adjusted by millimeters, designed to an exquisite length that suppresses excessive exposure not only when standing but also when sitting. We paid close attention so as not to cause discomfort to those around us. Furthermore, by adopting a tapered silhouette that gradually narrows toward the hem, the feet look neat, creating an elegant impression. It produces a smart business style that blends with a wide range of styles from loafers to sneakers. It is an item that responds to various scenes faced by modern business people, such as 'commuting in extreme heat', 'office work days when you want to relax', and 'long business trip movements'. In addition, this product is developed as 'cassette clothes' complete with a jacket, short-sleeved shirt, T-shirt, and long pants made of the same fabric. It achieves both 'time performance' (Taipa), saving time when choosing clothes on busy mornings, and 'cost performance' (Cospa), allowing it to be mixed and matched regardless of whether on or off duty.

Person-in-Charge Comment Hiroki Sato, Manager, Product Department 1 The planning of half-pants is a big challenge for Aoyama Tailor. However, given the record-breaking extreme heat and growing awareness of energy conservation, we thought it was an item that we should propose precisely because we are a company that sells business wear. It is a confident work that pours in the technology cultivated in suit making and maintains moderation and dignity. We hope it becomes a new option for summer.
