These might be some of the most subdued pants yet from Story mfg. who have historically featured parachute-like cuts and a full quota of included pockets. These Fenn Trousers are stripped right back to the essential details, which are still numerous in inclusion.

The fit is still sufficiently roomy but darted hems keep the ankles from going astray. Pleats up top achieve a similar effect at the waist, which is held down by some beefy belt loops. This workwear-inspired detailing carries over to the rear on the bar-tacked patch pockets. There certainly is a sturdiness about these pants but an equal sense of playfulness, evident by the wonky stitching and near-parody placement of branding.
