I sewed these Pietra Pants a while back but I never reach for them, despite them being very comfy. Something just feels off about them. They look kind of like karate pants to me. It may just be that I feel weird in white pants for some reason, but a few other things stand out to me:

- the crotch area looks weird, I think because I shortened it. Do the inner thighs need to be slimmed down?

- the gathering from the elastic over the seat looks strange, but I think that's primarily due to my fabric choice (heavyweight linen). Would another line of stitching across the bottom of the elastic help it lay flatter?

- Not sure if the wide hem for ankle length is the way to go. Thoughts? I definitely want to keep them ankle length, but would the hem look better more narrow?

Feel free to share any thoughts, including that I'm being too nit picky. I spent so much time and money on these pants that I really want to make them work.

EDIT: so the consensus it that they're as bad as I thought. I was hoping I was just being too picky. My new plan is to spend the rest of my life seam ripping and use the fabric for a princess seam tank haha

This is the first piece built entirely around the Void Walker archetype — outerwear, VPL pattern system, currently in tech pack with our manufacturing partner.

Design language stays locked to the KN//9 palette: Void, Ash, Bone, Teal. No loud graphics. The weight is in the construction, not the print.

This is early — tech pack stage, not shipped yet. Sharing here first because this community is the Archive, and the Archive sees things before anyone else does.

Drop timeline TBD. Will keep this thread updated as it moves through production.
