Band of Outsiders made in USA cotton pants, size 33

$34.99

Up for sale here is a pair of pants from Band of Outsiders. These come from their original run, when they were designed by Scott Sternberg and made primarily in the US. Band of Outsiders had a lot of parallels to the Thom Browne label, where both aimed to interject a strong Americana aesthetic into their clothing, often referencing vintage ivy league style, while utilizing some super high quality materials and sharp tailoring. Sternberg unfortunately left Band of Outsiders in 2015, but their original run was definitely strong and will only become more highly sought after with the passage of time.

Band of Outsiders were probably best known for their shirting (at least in my opinion), where they made some really excellent tailored pieces. I am also partial to their blazers and coats, but in this instance we have a nice pair of pants. Material is 100% cotton, done in their usual sharp tailoring. This is not an especially heavy piece, ideal for fall-spring-summer wear. Fit is on the slim side, as Band of Outsiders were known for, featuring hook and eye closure (which is helpfully labeled) on the waistband and a button fly. Detailing is deceptively simple, where much like classic Jil Sander this is the essentials of a quality pair of pants: excellent quality materials and fit, and nothing superfluous.

During this era Band of Outsiders consistently made some super high quality clothing, although retail prices also tended to reflect this and production runs could be pretty small. These pieces are now long gone, but get it here at a fraction of the retail price.

Size is labeled a 33 and fits true. I measure the waist at 33”, inseam at 27”, rise at 10.5” and leg opening at 7.5”. The pants come in lightly used, good shape overall. There is some minor wear throughout, but no holes, tears or stains. Made in USA.

Shipping from Japan to anywhere will be $30.
