The two-piece capsule is constructed from [Loro Piana’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dickies-874) “365” Merino Wool fabric, a material woven from ultra-fine 17-micron Super 130’s merino wool. A clear-cut finishing treatment removes surface fuzz to create a smooth texture and subtle sheen. For this season, the fabric weight has been increased from 250g/m to 260g/m, adding structure and improving the drape of each garment. The WALKER ST EASY PANTS is seen with a wide straight-leg silhouette with articulated knee darts for ease of movement, along with adjustable drawcord hems and a key loop at the waist. The WALKER EASY SHORTS apply the same fabric and functional detailing in a warm-weather format.
