If you strike out @seawolf i believe they run this every season.
Their climbing pants, climbing shorts, and camp shorts were revelations for me. I feel naked without a belt but they all have integrated cinch webbing belts and great patterning and fabrics for relaxing or active pursuits. The climbing pants I have are a khaki fabric with a 4 way stretch and crotch gusseting, but even though they are somewhat technical they don’t look it or even feel it: the fabric has slub on its face and a very classic hand, and then the interior is brushed and fleecelike. Two hand and one back pocket are zipped. You could actually climb in them.
They make a corduroy lounge pant I regret not having copped too.
While I don’t have anything other than the handful of items mentioned, their riffs on things like MA-1 remind me of what Haraki does in terms of reimagining and paying tributes to classics instead of recreating them.
They’re just kind of a quietly innovative and stylish brand IMO. Nothing that jumps out at you until you experience it in the flesh.
I’ll shut up now but glad they resonate with some of you.

@mclaincausey their 'local shorts' look pretty cool too, but I can't get them here
@seawolf as said, was the only one, got it via Trouva from a little boutique in Italy -
I have local shorts, bouldering pants, and a travel shell, and all of it is comfortable and with great shapes. Not on the quality level of IH but easy to wear for being a bit more active or lazy.

@mclaincausey you’re missing out on the blizzard of ‘24!! Crazy, cause two other very close friends of ours from Denver are at Disney World right now with their daughter too.

Check out the slub on these Battenwear climbing pants:
Then the inside is soft:
It looks and feels on the outside like a heritage fabric that somehow has 4 way stretch, and like fleece on the inside.
A great easy pant for your resort lounging that is also suitable for any adventures you choose to take.

@Giles I know you didn’t ask me but I take a Medium in this shirt and am usually Large in IH. Might have to size down to look as good as endo. It’s an stretchy fabric so there is leeway. About 22” P2P in Medium.

This is an M, could have been an inch longer (L) but it was the single only one I could find in Europe. Works for me.
