Stio x KSX Twill Carpenter Pant

Overview Care Instructions From The Artist Details

Overview

Let nature’s handiwork guide your style with this high-rise pant featuring the custom, handcrafted prints of our limited-run collaboration with KSX ART.

This spring we proudly partnered with Bozeman-based artist Kellie Swanson of KSX ART to create one-of-a-kind pieces that embrace the wilderness and invite the wearer to explore their natural surroundings. Each print is created by hand using the power of the sun and local Montana botanicals, revealing the plants’ tiniest details and bearing the signature splatters and streaks of the artist as she produced each design. The prints are applied to our lightweight yet sturdy Rivet Twill Carpenter Pant, made with organic cotton, a touch of spandex for stretch and a soft microsuede finish that feels as good as it looks.

Care Instructions From The Artist

Handle With Care

These handmade items need special care and love—handle with the tenderness they deserve! By following a few simple tips, you can extend the life of your garment's vibrant print.

Handwash Sparingly

I recommend hand washing only. Turn your item inside out and do not use any soap or detergent containing phosphates, bleach, or sodium. Air dry or tumble alone on low heat. Do not dry in direct sunlight. Overwashing may cause the print to fade. If fading occurs over time, washing the print in a dilute bath of hydrogen peroxide can usually restore it to its original intensity.

Embrace The Change

Just like a good pair of vintage jeans, natural dye will change over time. Though the colors may shift and blend like a mesmerizing watercolor painting, it's a testament to the living essence of the dye. I encourage you to embrace the ever-changing shades it brings.
