MorEye is a project that revolves around the theme of Americana and workwear.
The work pants feature double knee reinforcements which are made with a symmetrical combination of a Hinomaru Japanese flag sourced from Japan, and an operational lizard pattern camo fabric.
Both of these fabrics are combined to provide an authentic and original subtle, yet contrasting Americana style while providing the function of reinforcing the front knee side of the pants.
