Seen in the most recent Autumn / Winter 2023 NYC editorial by the team at our Lispenard street store.

AW23 seasonal updates see Original Snopants® available in Hemp Corduroy and the addition of Murasaki Purple as well as core colours and fabrics.
Intricate free-hand machined embroideries are synonymous with Snopants®, consistently offered with seasonal artworks in a variety of fabrics. For Autumn / Winter 2023 the woodblock and triptych works of Ukiyo-e masters Utagawa Kuniyoshi and Kuniteru are referenced to produce tonal and gradient iterations of these artworks.
The silhouette is based on an early U.S. Army Snow Camouflage Over Trouser – a basic shell that was designed to be worn over military combat uniforms. Refining and improving on the original design, modifications were made to the silhouette and construction, and accessories were completely overhauled. A modified cargo iteration is offered with a large M65 style compartment with pop-stud closures, and cargo straps which can be stowed within the pocket when not in use.
Original Snopants® are also offered in a straight fit which allow for a closer fit. Additional functionality is added in the form of the patented Snocord® and Snobutton® system - allowing the wearer to fully adjust the trouser length.
Once the cord is adjusted to the desired length, its locked with the patented Temple Ball - a unique single part metal bead, produced exclusively for Maharishi in Switzerland by long-term military metal zip manufacturer, Riri.
