Built with premium stitching, they also feature a zippered coin pocket and hidden reflective tape that's only revealed when they're cuffed. Now available in two cuts: the original, best-selling Slim Fit and the new Straight Fit, which offer a roomier fit from the knee down.

The hems are adjustable for versatility and have both a key ring and zippered cargo pockets for safe storage of essentials. Enjoy 50% starting November 22nd.
