You are a person who creates cool stuff and you need your clothes to support your maker lifestyle. We designed the Pinyon Pants for YOU! This hard-working, comfortable pair of pants will bring you back to the 90’s in the best of ways.
With details that make creative folks swoon, like a pencil pocket and hammer loop, the Pinyon are a marriage of utility pants and your favorite jeans from high school. With plentiful ease at the hip and thigh, you can confidently milk a cow, swing a hammer, or just put on some high tops and a fitted tee and lounge while listening to a mixtape on your Walkman.
