A Longer Line
School Pants are out now!!!
First off, a massive thank you to those who have already ordered — this has turned into one of my biggest releases to date, so truly, thank you.
More fabric is already en route, and there’s plenty of availability for both the shorts and the pants.
Now, my first iteration of a pair of trousers: the School Pants. They’re a continuation of this story and journey — one that sees me exploring and rediscovering parts of my childhood, filled with reflection and healing. This process has brought a lot of growth, and taught me many lessons about myself.
To be creative, you almost have to become childlike again. As we grow and move through our teenage years, those playful, tender parts of ourselves often get buried — sacrificed to fit in, or to seem “cool.” To my fellow creatives, or anyone really, I encourage you to explore your childhood. Go play that game you used to love, do that random thing you always dreamt of doing, be present. Heal the little boy or girl inside you who’s still waiting to come out.
These pants (and shorts) are a manifestation of that.
I remember days when I dreaded going to school, simply because of the shorts I had to wear. I found comfort in trousers — a way to hide my skinny legs, my imperfections.
And that’s what these pants are: comfort and security.
They are my best work to date — an ode to my growing craftsmanship, with the help of all the industrial machines in the studio. Quality is always improving. New features are being thought about and included with each iteration.
Each pair ships with a small pin pack I make in the studio, just a little something to reflect the “Back to School” collection. You can pin it to your hat, your favourite bag — wherever you like.
I’m not quite sure where this product leads next. In a way, I’ve been working on it for two years now. They’ll always be available — perhaps adapted in the future, and maybe new colourways if that’s something you’d like to see.
Anyway, I better get back to sewing.
See you all soon.
Sincerely,
R
