I’m super stoked to have finally found some comfortable hemp options. This one is a canvas material that’s about a half and half blend with cotton.

The cut for these was pretty straightforward, as in I literally just took the pant pattern and chopped it right above the knee. I gave all the pieces to my digitizer and she made some adjustments to the fit. Usually it takes a couple of prototypes to finalize the details but I sewed together the first iteration and they were perfect. Lucky me.

The name gets a little weird here. I did a year of high school in Japan and during that time, my friends were so intrigued by the fact that I smoked weed in Canada. I swear I remember them calling it “Taima” or タイマ but none of my Japanese friends since then have any idea what I’m talking about. Maybe it was specific to the Nagasaki dialect, or maybe I was just totally lost in translation. Regardless, I think it rolls off the tongue nicely…
