As we continue to look for new, low impact ways to dye clothing, we’ve turned to the colouring tools of early man – minerals, rocks, and soils. Minerals don’t just tell the story of life on Earth, they also tell the story of colour. When our solar system settled into its current shape around 4.5 billion years ago, Earth was created by a series of galactic collisions. Tectonic plates began to form. And geological life and biological life fused together to create vast mineral deposits in the Earth’s upper crust. So when prehistoric man first picked up a prehistoric paintbrush, they turned to the ground around them. Today, instead of using those minerals to paint cave walls, we’re using them to dye clothing. Our Mineral Sweatshirt is garment dyed in a giant bath of ochre. There are only 2 by-products of this process – sediment, and water. Both of which can go straight back into nature.

The Indestructible Pants are designed for pure strength

Woven with a blend of Dyneema® for extreme strength, and elastane for extreme stretch, the Indestructible Pants are about as close as we’ve got to building a batsuit. Since 2019 we’ve been rebuilding ordinary clothes with the strongest fibre in the world – Dyneema®. Having already rebuilt jackets, puffers, hats, vests and jeans with it, we’ve now brought the same technology to pants. While the Indestructible Pants are just 1 millimetre thick, they’re highly resistant to abrasion and tearing and can withstand a 75kmph fall and drag on concrete.

Built with extreme strength fibres

The other 90% of the material is a blend of Dyneema® and Cordura that creates a balance of extreme strength and comfort. Dyneema® is an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene that combines extreme strength with very low weight. On a weight for weight basis it’s up to 15x stronger than steel. And Cordura is a densely woven, high-tenacity nylon that’s ultra strong. That’s why you’ll normally find it in hiking boots and on motorcycle gear thanks to its high abrasion resistance.

How we tested them

To figure out just how tough the Indestructible Pants are, we took them into the lab and beat the crap out of them in a variety of different ways. The tests we put them through were looking for one thing above everything else – extreme strength. So we recreated real-world conditions which would destroy most pants very fast. From blunt force trauma and sudden impact from high speed falls, to the steady grinding down of materials caused by daily wear and tear.

Reinforced and articulated construction

Every critical seam on the pants has been stitched with double lines of heavy-duty thread which are reinforced with woven tape on the underside. And we’ve constructed them with an articulated shape which works with the material to follow the natural shape of your legs whatever way you stretch.

Elasticated and rope tied waist

The pants are built with an elasticated waistband, so they’re comfortable like sweatpants. The waist tightens securely with a rubberised, metal tipped rope. And there’s a zipped fly.
