A familiar highlight of Fullcount's Fall/Winter collections, the Black Wabash Stripe Work Pants revisit one of the most recognizable fabrics in vintage American workwear, this time with a more understated interpretation of the traditional Wabash stripe.

The fabric is a substantial black cotton drill, also known as "Katsuragi Twill" in Japan, dyed using sulfur dyes to achieve its deep, rich color. The distinctive dotted stripe pattern is created through a traditional discharge-printing technique known as Wabash, in which sections of the dyed fabric are selectively stripped of color to reveal the characteristic pattern.

Historically associated with American workwear of the early 20th century, Wabash stripes were particularly popular among railroad workers, becoming a defining feature of the rugged garments worn throughout the period. Fullcount draws on this heritage while introducing a more contemporary approach to the fabric through its subdued black colorway.

The design itself remains deliberately straightforward, with minimal detailing and a generously proportioned, wide-leg silhouette that allows the distinctive fabric to take center stage. A particularly interesting detail is the use of folded selvedge fabric at the rear buckle, a construction reference taken directly from vintage workwear of the era.
