The pant God breaks down his five favorites.
RTH Carpenter Pant:
What’s not to love about a good carpenter jean? Only drawn back is a classic work fit sometimes is a little bit too much of a straight leg pant feel. RTH’s ability to widen the waist area and taper the bottom gives it a more baggier fit, while letting whatever footwear one chooses to not extended over your shoe. Different materials for the crotch gusset on each release is a rad detail.
Grand Collection Track Pant:
The Grand track pant feels similar to original Aesthetics and Elwood tracks. Great fit. Good color blocking. Minimal branding, but still very good placement of any logos or graphic lock ups. They’re the right weight and breathable. Some swishy pants feel like you’re wearing a sauna suit. These let your legs air out. Extremely comfortable nylon. And zipper pockets are key.
Classic JSP Sweatpants:
I would never try to sell people something I didn’t personally back and wear. The blend of fit and material (french terry or fleece) we choose for each pant are parameters we think are best for our pants. Elastic waist band with drawl chord. Deep jersey pockets. Loose and baggier fit. NO DROP CROTCH OR WEIRD RIBBED ANKLE CUFF. What your one rad uncle woulda wore to the gym or to train for his semi pro baseball league in.
Guy Mariano Four Star Pant:
This is on everyone’s top pant list. Never actually owned a pair, but when any athletic pant in or out of skate comes to mind this is it. The zipper and flap combination under that right knee was so clutch. This pant definitely needs to find its way back out into the clothing market.
Stussy Bryan Pant:
To me personally, Stussy has always done it right. From years of just graphic tees and hats, to any of the co-branded footwear projects. The pants category kinda the sleeper of all their departments. Good patterns. Lightweight and breathable. Slacks look very professional, but not too dressy. Good fit.
