MAHARISHI TROUSER GUIDE

Cargo pants are a staple silhouette for Maharishi, combining practicality with cutting-edge design. Rendered in a range of materials, from organic cotton/hemp to more technical choices like Cordura ripstop. A feature on the original M51 pants, the cargo straps were designed to be tied around the leg to secure cargo within the pocket. They can be concealed or hidden within the pocket by passing them through a small buttonhole.

Hakama pants first originated in 12th-century Samurai culture. The term “Hakama” refers to two distinct styles: Andon, a pleated skirt, and Umanori, the trouser version, which directly translates to ‘horse rider’. Originally designed to obscure a warrior’s footwork during combat, Hakama embodies Japanese tradition and holds significant cultural symbolism.

Authentic Hakama pants feature five pleats in the front and two in the back, representing a fusion of balance and asymmetry - an embodiment of the Japanese worldview.

- Hand-Machine embroidered options

Snopants® have been Maharishi’s signature trouser since 1996, originally inspired by U.S. Army Snow Camouflage over Trousers designed to layer over combat uniforms in snowy terrain. Maharishi refined the original design inspiration, adding pocket bags, an elasticated waist, and adjustable hem ties.

The evolved style became the ‘Original Snopants®,’ featuring the patented Snocord® System for concealing excess cord, the Temple Bead one-part metal cord lock, and the Snobutton® system, allowing wearers to customise length and adjust fit at both waist and hems.

- Internal hanging loops
- Maha Snobutton® and Snocord® adjustment system
- Interior crotch and ankle stash pocket
- Internal epaulettes to allow the pants to be converted into shorts
- Internal media pouch inside right pocket
