We've written about the greatness that is the Fall Leaf Pant before and their great details. And now they're back in the form of shorts. I'm a big fan of that original pant version with its great pocket configuration but it often goes unnoticed with a shirt over top of them and the rest of the pant leg. I think it might actually work a bit better as shorts though. That could very well be because it was hot out today and I love wearing shorts this time of year but it's also because you can't really go wrong with a great colour like them in the spring nor with the nice poplin like they're made with.

The spring collection from Sassafras continues to impress and it might even be one of my favorite brands this season. The quality, fabrics, branding and design all fit so perfectly together. The gardening reference again comes into play with the recent release at Utility Coop of the 'Bulb Seed' shirt. With handy side pockets and a nice plaid or stripe to choose from, Sassafras produce another winner.

Words

Sassafras continues to be one of our favorite brands from Japan these days. The gardening references are lighthearted, clever and result in some great looking garments. One of the items featured in the spring issue of Inventory are the Fall Leaf Pants. The twill cotton is a great weight, has a nice texture and is accented nicely by the donut buttons, clean labeling and interesting pocket details. The pants are one of a handful of Sassafras items I've personally handled and tried on, and each time I've been very impressed.
