Zen Pants

Deep in the mountains of Korea rests a cave temple where monks practice a daily ritual of meditation, yoga, martial arts, and qigong.

Zen Pants are inspired by their temple uniform β€” interweaving influences from ν•œλ³΅ (traditional Korean hanbok), 승볡 (Korean monkwear), and 도볡 (Korean martial arts uniform).

β€œLife is a meditation.”

During my stay at the temple, I followed the monks around as they seamlessly flowed from one activity to the next. I remember asking one of the monks, β€œFor how long will you meditate today?”

They replied, β€œLife is a living meditation. Everything we do, from eating mindfully to going for a nice walk in nature, our everyday life can be a meditation.”

Through Zen Pants, I hope to share with you a bit of the inspiration and peace I found during my temple stay.

ν•œλ³΅

Traditional Korean Hanbok design

Zen Pants are influenced by ν•œλ³΅ (traditional Korean Hanbok) design, as well as 승볡 (Korean monkwear) and 도볡 (Korean martial arts uniform). The minimalist, multifunctional, and gender-inclusive design of Zen Pants inspires freedom in movement and comfort in stillness.

Hanbok can be beautiful in its simplicity and delicacy, and Zen Pants integrate the beautiful drapes of Hanbok design with the freedom, function, and comfort of monkwear and martial arts uniforms. We pay homage to Hanbok and the beauty and philosophy embodied in them.

Soft fabric that feels oh-so-good

Zen Pants are made with a fabric blend of 33% Cotton, 33% Tencel, 16% Poly, 16% Viscose, and 2% Spandex, that makes Zen Pants feel luxurious, soft, slightly stretchy, and versatile. Our fabric sourcers are experts on traditional Korean monkwear, and we partnered with seamstresses in China who have experience making the actual uniforms for Korean Zen monks.

Zen Pants are in Black Sesame color and in limited supply.
