Hipster Keep NZ Green

These fantastic new Philanthropants were designed by Oli Mollard for The Green Party of Aotearoa. Printed in Australia on regeneratively farmed cotton & sewn right here in the Wairarapa a portion of the sales goes to support the Green Party in the 2026 election season.

Our Hipster Thunderpants are just like the originals but sit lower at the waist, we have been making these for 25+ years and counting! These are a flat fronted style with a soft gusset made from the same fabric soft fabric as the outer garment. If you require extra room in the front you may want to look at our Pouch Fronted garments.

• Fabric
• Care

• This cut is designed to sit in the natural crease at the top of the leg, cover your bum and reach to your high hip area. We recommend the hipster if you are flat in the tummy and/or short in the rise to the waist. For many of us, the hipster does not reach over the apex of our tummy roll at which point the natural laws of gravity take over and the hipster will roll down. In this situation we have a solution in the higher waisted options.

• The Thunderpants fabric is 90% cotton and 10% spandex to give it that super comfy, soft stretchy feel. The waist and leg bands are constructed in the same, lovely fabric eliminating the need for the addition of nasty, grippy elastic and adding to the enjoyment of your Thunderpants experience. All the garments are made locally and lovingly in New Zealand. 

• To preserve the vibrant colours and life of the fabric we suggest you do not soak or bleach your Thunderpants items. Use a gentle detergent in a cold machine wash and dry your Thunderpants on the line, not in the drier.

Your Thunderpants are not only super comfy but they are designed to withstand some pretty staunch stuff, so get into them and get on out there!
