Fall & Winter 2025

Umps Pants made from knitted fabric using wool ring yarn that has been processed with intense heat and pressure. Ring yarn is created by twisting intertwining yarn around a thin, strong core yarn to form a ring-shaped thread that stabilizes the unstable wool while maintaining a soft texture. Fabric knitted with this yarn creates a unique character that combines the hard texture of wool melton with just the right amount of softness and sheen. The ring-shaped surface provides a gentle feel against the skin and reduces the itchiness typically associated with wool. The design was inspired by baseball umpires’ hip silhouettes, with large gusseted pockets that could be used to hold spare balls. The cut offers a relaxed fit around the waist while featuring a strong taper toward the hem for a clean, streamlined look. The waist is adjustable with elastic and a cord.
