Based out of Japan's Iwate Prefecture, one of the northernmost provinces, Gorsch was born into a quiet rural life, taking inspiration from antique German tailoring and early proto-workwear. The garments are beautifully constructed, frequently making use of deadstock vintage textiles, with tailored silhouettes and unisex styling.

Gorsch's Fall/Winter 2024 styles are a continuation of the Spring/Summer collection, taking inspiration from the wardrobe and personal style of a local grape farmer, Mr. Sasaki, and his wife, Kanako. They run a small farm in Iwate's Shiwa District, growing grapes for white, red, and orange natural wines using what Gorsch refer to as "natural farming principles" - having purchased and restored an abandoned vineyard to produce naturally fermented wines.

With names like Bauer & Bauerin, both meaning "farmer" in German, the styles are understated - "simple" in appearance yet deceptively complex in execution. The rustic undertones in each piece's design help to balance the more formal silhouettes, creating elevated casual garments that fit easily into a winter wardrobe, whether you're in the country or the city: you'll look your absolute best.

Gorsch's Easy Trousers are among our very favorite takes on the style, with an elasticated drawstring waistband and a one-size design that make them a quintessential unisex piece. They've got a relaxed fit, with a wide leg that tapers a tiny bit below the knee, a high rise, and a slightly dropped crotch. The construction blends minimalism with thoughtful details, like the single "belt loop" on the front that a keychain could be attached to, the cotton and cupra internal linings, and the pull-on top block with no fly.

For storage, they've got a classic four pockets, two at the hips for your hands, and two welted rear pockets with button closures. The pocket bags and waistband are lined with a soft 100% cotton fabric for extra comfort and durability, while the legs are lined down the front through the knee with extra smooth cupra. The one size waist measures fairly wide, but can be cinched in with the woven internal drawstring, allowing for a comfortable and secure fit at all times.

They're made from a textured wool/rayon velvet fabric with a soft plush face and tonal design. Slightly shaggy, it insulates well, with a very natural and relaxed drape as well as a pronounced cord-like texture throughout. It's plenty warm in cooler weather, but airy enough to wear for most of the year — an excellent textile for an easy pant style.
