Vol. 17 “Burn, Red Pants!” THE NORTH FACE PURPLE LABEL

While Editor Demon King has many current obsessions, his latest fixation is a pair of vividly red pants. He's still a long way from 60, so why the sudden passion? The reason might be more surprising than you think.

THE NORTH FACE PURPLE LABEL

These mountain wind pants are crafted from high-density polyester taffeta. A reconstruction of a 1990s masterpiece, they feature a delicate crinkle, a matte surface, and a lightweight feel. The hem width can be adjusted with a zipper, and the black paneling at the knee adds a dynamic, modern touch.
