historically it references hakama pants, which were formalwear in japan. maybe also similar styles in asia i'm not aware of.

it feels like it might be something one saw/sees amongst fishermen along the mediterranean, people working on the coast. but that's just an image in my head that may be from films.

western wide-legged trousers weren't cropped like that. were usually hemmed just off the ground. in the case of things like carpenter jeans i feel like they were mostly cuffed. i mean, kevin smith shows you what denim cropped trousers look like. yyyuck.

anyway, i could see these kind of carpenter jeans coming back sooner rather than later. but that might require men of the general public to go embrace high waisted clothes.

i don't want to say it'll never happen, but it's kind of hard to imagine it happening. because it really requires a tailor. and in denim, i remember seeing cholos in l.a. who'd wear super-huge jeans... but instead of sagging them like blacks, would pull them super high; kinda gave the impression of wide cropped pants, but again, they had them cinched around their ribs, probably referencing the zoot suit.

what were we talking about again?
