Damir Doma early archive panelled trousers — circa 2009–2011, likely from the early mainline period. An unusual pair of object-dyed 100% cotton trousers in a muted taupe/brown wash, with a heavily weathered, uneven surface. The upper is cut with exaggerated jodhpur-like volume, created through large articulated front panels and deep pleating through the hips and thighs before narrowing into the lower leg. The defining detail is the use of rib-knit panels through the knees and lower legs, providing stretch and creating the distinctive riding-trouser shape, while the entire lower rear panel is constructed from rib knit for additional movement. The high-rise waist features belt loops and a two-button fly, with sharply shaped inset pockets and pronounced vertical pleats; the rear has buttoned welt pockets and a central seam. The combination of washed woven cotton and softer knit, unified by the object-dyeing, gives these a very distinctive early Doma approach to deconstructed, materially unconventional tailoring.
