All the Details: orSlow New Yorker Pants

New Yorker Pants

Slim Fit Fatigue Pants - Olive Reverse Sateen

A staple of orSlows that became an instant classic and a favorite go-to. The New Yorker Pant looks so aesthetically clean, but are as comfortable as your oldest pair of heather grey sweatpants. Somewhere between a jogger and a climbing pant, they’re perfect for everyday wear with a nice and trim silhouette and a no-fuss elastic waistband and drawstring. Slash pockets and a single, reinforced inset pocket in the back make it a great casual trouser that works in most situations.

There have been different iterations of these over the years using different fabrics, but this cotton ripstop is possibly the best of the bunch. The ripstop is breathable and soft, but it’s also one of the most durable fabric innovations of the past 100 years. It’s what is used for hot air balloons, parachutes, sails and lots of outdoorswear - anywhere there’s a need for something that has to be both light and tough. During weaving, thick threads are interwoven at regular intervals in a crosshatch pattern that gives the fabric depth and the ability to stop small tears from getting bigger.

No matter what your worklife and freetime look like, these pants will be in heavy rotation...
