Trouser Guide

Maharishi presents its trouser overview from the latest collection. Focusing on utilitarian military design across a range of silhouettes, styles showcase seasonal hand-machined embroideries and built-in functional features.

Key designs highlight the new DPM: Bonsai Sparse Forest and the Peace Dove artwork – an affirmation of Maharishi’s continually pacifist standpoint. Materials include organic cotton/hemp, as well as more technical choices such as recycled Japanese nylon.

Original Snopants®

Snopants® were first conceptualised by Maharishi in 1996, featuring hand-machined Eastern-style embroideries. The result of the brand’s initial success in over-dyeing and adding embroidery to U.S. Army 1960s deadstock, the style is loosely based on white U.S. Snow Camouflage Over Trousers. They offer an updated silhouette and added functionality thanks to the unique Snobutton® and Snocord® systems, allowing the pants to be adjustable and also worn at knee-length or as long shorts. By 2000, they were named “the most copied pants of the decade” in a millennium roundup by Arena magazine.

  • Hakama Pants

    First popularised in Japan as early as the 6th century, Hakama pants were traditionally designed to be worn over a kimono. Originally intended for riding, martial arts, and labour, the style brings comfort and flexibility to the wearer. Maharishi offers iterations of the original design in several fabrics, from organic cotton/hemp to British-made Melton wool, as well as various versions in asymmetric and cargo-style silhouettes. The mix of Eastern and Western influences evidences Maharishi’s continued exploration of duality, respecting nature through the use of eco-conscious materials but still utilising the latest technology in their production.

  • Inspired by 6th-century Japanese Hakama
  • Asymmetric, cargo, and classic silhouettes
  • Range of fabric options, from organic cotton-hemp to British-made Melton wool
