For loungewear-level comfort with a fresh, modern twist, the Parker Pants are a sure-fire pick. The Parker Pants feature a twisted side seam, a subtle barrel leg, and an easy elastic waist that ensures you won't have to sacrifice comfort for cool-factor.
Designed with wearability in mind, a relaxed fit makes Parker easy to throw on, while deep front scoop pockets and back patch pockets cover all the bases for your day-to-day routine.
Tag on the optional drawstring or contrast topstitching to give Parker your own personal spin. From coffee shop dates to casual kick backs, Parker's sure to be your new wardrobe mainstay.
Available in sizes A-S (up to a 67" hip). See BF's size chart here for more details
RECOMMENDED FABRICS
Parker works well in a variety of medium-weight woven fabrics. To suit the barrel silhouette, we recommend denim, cotton twill, or canvas fabrics. A mid-to-heavyweight linen or linen blend will give a softer, more lived-in feel.
If you are using a heavier fabric, we recommend using a lighter lining fabric for the pockets. We always recommend pre-washing your fabric in the manner you intend to wash your finished garment; this way, your garment will not shrink during the first wash.
NOTIONS LIST
1 1⁄2” (3.8cm) Woven Elastic*
Thread
2" x 1" (5cm x 2.5cm) Interfacing (for optional drawstring only)
*Choose the elastic firmness that works best for you. A firmer elastic is ideal for structured fabrics, as it helps keep the waistband from folding.
