Hand printed right here in our workroom by Geoff. The print is a mixture of different images layered up to create random textures. The screens are offset and mixed up so some parts are one and some are two layers. But all are totally different!

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.

  • Fit

  • 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!

James Y. ★★★★★

The offset screens give each piece a genuinely one-of-a-kind feel, and the random texture layers are even better in person than in the photos. I grabbed the last XS and it fits perfectly, so I’m glad I didn’t hesitate on the sizing.

Julian ★★★★★

The hand-printed layers really do give it that one-of-a-kind look—I keep noticing new details in the texture every time I wear it. Fit is true to size for an XS and the fabric feels nice and breathable. Glad I snagged the last one, it's already getting compliments.

Joseph Y. ★★★★★

Finally got my hands on this last pair XS after stalking the site, and the hand-printed texture is even more intricate in person—those layered random screens create a really cool uneven pattern.
