These unisex painters pants are often thrifted, and when I can’t find the right sizing, I source them from my local paint store. They’re all hand-dyed with sequoia root to create a range of pale purples to light browns. Each pair is unique in its own way and has a different embroidery palette with recycled off-cut fabric swatches from brands like Ace & Jig and Patriae.
They are named after Neil Young's Sugar Mountain, which is one of my favorite songs. I first made these pants when I moved from Jackson Hole, to Vermont, and I took the meaning of that song to be that of moving on, and growing out of certain periods of life. These pants are a testament to growing older, but keeping our childlike wonders in tact. <3
Sizing: I measure pants by the waist x inseam, in inches. If you don't know your size, take a pair of your own pants and lay them flat. Measure the waist straight across, and multiply that by 2. That will be your waist measurement. The inseam is the length of the pant leg from the inside, so measure from the crotch, to the end of the pant leg. That will be your inseam.
Care: Sequoia is a natural dye that will change over time. They start out as a mauve-brown color and gradually fade to a light brown over time. Wash sparingly, inside-out. Lay flat to dry or tumble dry low. Store out of sunlight*
