Eclectic design and style

So if I was not such a BBW I would soooo be very much more strange, odd and extremely eclectic in my own scene of fashion.

Sure I dig mainstream but I also like to mix in things that stand out a tad more.

So anyway while I was looking for real life inspiration for the design and dress of my steampunk charter I came across these really neat and yes odd pants that are sweeping the underground fashion trends in the East and West.

I give you the "Tobi" pants sometimes called 'SteepleJacks'.

What are tobi though? well to quote Lastwear they are:

"....the Steeplejacks are based on the style of pants worn by Japanese construction workers known as Tobi pants."

Such as in this picture:



From this there has steamed a moment that is touching the niche markets and the hip trend setting waves of people (ya know the people that start the trends and fads or such).

Some examples are as fallows:

These are from a hip trendy shop called Shigoto.








These are less modern in their design but still none the less cool! Less baggy to compared to the hip version. Made by a guy called Marcus Stratus aka Weerd on DA or also he has a Etsy shop.




Weerd got the pattern for the pants from Lastwear Though he changed it a lil bit. Lastwear is in between what Weerd does and the hipsters in that they maintain more of the original design but also try and make then a tad more modern as well.










So what do you think? I love them and if I had the $150 to commission some from either Marcus or the Lastwear crew I would. Or the wallet biting $210-352 from Shigoto. But that is like buying name brand from places like Abercrombie & Fitch. OUCH!

Oh well. I still dig these awesome and yes eclectic pants!
