Original 874® Work Pant

Classic fit. Sits close to the waist. Straight leg.

The Original Work Pant is the trouser that started it all. With a classic fit that sits close at the waist, these pants are officially straight leg… but you can take that with a grain of salt ‘cause they’re a little wider than your average. This kinda loose fit is what attracted the skate community to the 874 years ago, and is why so many skaters continue to rock this style today.

For the girls: Guys don’t get to have ALL the fun, the official trend of the last couple of years is androgenous cool and 874s definitely fit the bill. These are a men’s style so gals will want to size up - because hips - plus that way you can wear ‘em high and with the waistband folded over like your fave influencer for Bella Hadid/Kendall Jenner vibes.

873 Slim Straight Fit Pant

Slim straight fit. Sits slightly below waist. Slimmer in seat and thigh. Straight leg.

The 873 is a great choice for those who want the classic straight look but with a little bit of a tailored feel. These pants boast a slightly shorter rise than their 874 counterpart - but it’s only at knees-level that you notice any major difference, thanks in part to a slightly tapered leg which creates a slimmer aesthetic overall. This neat look means this pair would be perfect if semi formal occasions are on tap, as well as casual days where a matching tie/shoes combo isn't necessary.

For the girls: Stay ahead of the style curve and try a pair of 873s instead of the classic 874s for a lower rise fit.

872 Slim Tapered Fit Pant

Slim fit. Sits slightly below waist. Slimmer in seat and thigh. Tapered leg.

Yea yea, we heard, baggy pants are in. But there’ll always be a place in our heart (and wardrobe) for a more narrow, slim fit. The waist and thigh are noticeably more snug in the 872, and the lower leg boasts a more tailored silhouette making these perfect for anyone with a slight build or for more formal work occasions.

918 Cuff Pant

Slim fit. Sits below waist. Slim fit with a cuff at the bottom.

Tradie approved, the cuff on the 918 makes them perfect for wearing over boots while the hardwearing cotton poly blend flex fabrication designed for stretch and comfort is durable as HECK. They’ve got pockets for days, a double knee construction and slim fit - a workwear essential.

801 Skinny Fit Pant

Skinny fit. Sits below waist. Skinny in seat and thigh. Straight leg.

A pair of pants built with staying power and comfort in mind, these guys are skinny through the top block but straight below the knee. Don’t worry though, that doesn’t mean comfort is at stake - for ease of movement these are created with a flex fabric construction so you can stretch away to your heart's content.
