Pirate Pants

The Pirate Pants design now features within our 4 X A Year Collection and we could not be more excited!  Launched in February 2023 as part of our one off collections these pants have proven to be in demand.  With distinct wide legs, high waisted finish, side seam pockets and the turn ups to turn on the inner the rebel you in, these just work.  We challenge anyone to let us know of a time when they could not wear this design (note airport security can be a slight snag when they ask you to remove your belt....)

Available in the four iconic Element colours and available in our heavy weight fabric, for maximum density and structure.  We want to give you more, with access to the full range of options direct from our planet and people first design archives.  These are our bad-ass books of how to always wear your values and look amazing!  See full details below.

What It's Made Of

• Made with 100% finest natural merino wool
• Spun and dyed in Scotland
• Woven into tartan fabrics by us at our Highland mill
• All labels made from hand cut and laser etched Scottish leather

Who It's Made By

• Made by bad-ass womxn and men of the Scottish Highlands 
• Proudly preserving century old textile skills and machinery
• Also proudly disrupting the world of future clothing, we have seen the past and it works!

• Size – Made to Measure all the way! Your trousers will be made to order, then despatched within 2 weeks of the fabric being woven during the 4 X A Year batch period.

• Leg Length – we can make to our standard pirate length of 21" (inside leg) or you can specify in the leg length selection box

• Natural Waist – we ask for your natural waist size, this can often be 5-8” above your hips depending on your height. This is where the the pant waistband will sit once closed with your belt.

• Widest Hips – this can often include a bit of your bottom, so your widest part really. We want to make sure that you can sit down in these trousers and not feel like you have been squeezed into them or even being squeezed out!

• Waist to Hips – this is to give us an indication of distance between where the waistband will fasten and your widest point. If you are for example really tall it means if we need to make any adjustments we can.

• Item Finishing – Finished with branded real leather labels specifying the makers batch.

• Fabric Design - The Elements of Endurance Tartan, designed by us!

• Weave Design - repeated throughout the fabric is the alchemy element symbols, earth, air, water and fire, represented in triangle form.

• Fabric Repeat – all fabric has been cut by hand from the cloth roll woven at our mill, therefore aspects of the repeat will be unique to each item, which is pretty cool as it makes them all unique!

• Colour Options - Earth (brown), Air (grey), Water (blue) and Fire (red), each element tartan features four colours from the colour family it represents.

• Fabric Weight Options - Heavy (dense and structured)
