Särmä Worker Pants
Classic design back when men's clothing was both practical and good looking. The best thing about these is the darts in the back and pleats in front. These give more room around the hip area, so the pants do not crush your balls as all modern trousers do.

Classic design back when men's clothing was both practical and good looking. The best thing about these is the darts in the back and pleats in front. These give more room around the hip area, so the pants do not crush your balls as all modern trousers do.
- Straight leg, comfortable vintage-inspired pants
- Slightly elastic cotton fabric
- Wear with suspenders!
Old Swedish army work pants are the best, albeit the color is ugly and they simply are not available anymore. We modeled our worker trousers after them. These are actually much like jeans, back in the day when jeans were work clothing. Strong, thick fabric and practical, roomy cut. We can't emphasize enough the importance of darted waist - modern undarted waist must be the women's revenge from years of oppression, or simply a cost-saving measure. With these pants, your dingly parts are free from oppression no matter what your posture is. Added plus is that your legs have complete freedom of movement and your pocket contents are actually accessible. These are so comfortable you'd think you're wearing sweatpants. Of course, when you think about it, the extra space provided to the hip area by the darted waist should be fine for the ladies too - it's a deal where everyone wins!
The belt loops are suitable for up to 50 mm (2") belts, but for the practical working man, we have included buttons for attaching proper braces. Wear them up when working: hanging braces are a signal that you are off duty. The fly is also buttoned.
Materials
The black Worker Pants are 100% cotton, and the fabric weighs 390 g/m2. The fabric is nice and soft, and the pants work in warmer weather, too. During winter you just throw a good pair of long johns under these and you're all set. The brown Worker Pants were made from dark brown fabric with 98% cotton and 2% elastane. We, unfortunately, don't have them anymore because the material is out.
We consider these to be pretty much the perfect pair of pants, and the idea is to continue making these in many different materials and colors. It is then your task to decide whether we will continue this range in the future. If you like it, they will come.
Sizing
If you know how to buy jeans, you'll do fine: just the waist and inseam in inches. Note that you can pick a precise waist: the thighs and ass won't be in your way. If you fall between two sizes, pick the smaller one. Lengthwise these are easy to shorten if necessary, or just turn the cuffs.
Our model is officially size 33/30 and wears size 32/32 pants. It's all good.
Below you can find a size chart with the actual centimeter measurements. These are pre-shrunk so they won't get any tighter.

We just took the most popular sizes in stock for now. More sizes, essentially meaning long sizes, might become available if these prove to be a sales hit!
Made in Estonia, proper stuff.
These are designed in Finland and manufactured in Estonia.
Employee's comments
These are definitely a proper pair of go-to trousers for general use from work to town. The little details like the high, darted waist and deep pockets make these very comfortable to wear - trousers shouldn't have to be tight and hung low just for show. These instead have an old fashioned functional charm of their own (well they are modeled after old work trousers, so...).
I would maybe gripe a bit about the suspender buttons digging into the waist if worn tight with a belt, but since I only use these with braces, I have no complaints.
Pro tip: if you want a very similar pair of trousers but in black, get a pair of BW Moleskin trousers and carefully remove the cargo pockets.

Metalliset niittinapit henkseleille on aika HC ratkaisu ja ne voi painaa esim. repun kanssa. Itse otan yleensä 33 vyötärön housut, näissä 34 oli sopiva ja 32 liian pieni.
Ostan toisenkin parin viimeistään kun tulee eri värillä tai matskulla!
Edit: nuo niitit saa helposti ja siististi sivuleikkurin ja vasaran avulla vääntämällä helkkariin.

Metallitapit henkseleille on kyllä tosi huono idea. Vyön ja repun kanssa painaa aika äkkiä, samoin oudoissa asennoissa (esim. maantiepyörällä polkiessa). Ei noi tapit nyt housuja käyttökelvottomiksi tee, mut en oikein koe voivani täysin tuotetta noiden kanssa suositella.
Jos metallitapit vaihdetaan ommeltuihin nappeihin niin nää ois mulle täydelliset arkipöksyt.

extremely comfy, sturdy and hard wearing. The fabric didn´t fade one bit, even after some washiungs, amazing!
The suspender button are riveted, no way those come loose.
If I could wish for some minor add on?
Give us a left back pocket!
