A slimmer fitting work-pant cut from an organic cotton reverse sateen. The cut is a little more tapered than the pants you’ll find at the hardware store, but the fabric’s just as tough. We nixed the flashy rivets (we used heavy duty bar-tack stitching to reinforce stress points instead), so you can go from the workshop to a meeting without anyone giving you side-eye.

A lightweight organic cotton in reverse sateen. Organic cotton uses a fraction of the water and energy resources of the conventionally grown stuff, and doesn’t pollute waterways and ecosystems. Sateen is in the twill family (like denim and khaki), but it’s quite a bit softer. The problem with sateen is that because of its long exposed fibers, the fabric tends to snag (particularly as a pair of trousers), so we reversed the fabric so that the soft ‘face’ of the fabric rests on your skin, and the more durable ‘self’ is on the outside. It’s complicated, but the end of the day, sateen is incredibly soft and sturdy.
