Artichokes are back! These prickly beauties were designed in 1995 as one of the original Thunderpants block print designs by Josie Bidwill and Victoria McKenzie.

New improved self banded straight legged pants, great alternative to tights for those who prefer a looser leg. Great for walking, yoga, gardening, watching TV or wearing under a tunic or skirt. They also make a great trade for regular trousers when you would rather be wearing your pyjamas!

  • Fit
  • Fabric
  • Care
  • Straight leg through to ankle from knee so gives the impression you are wearing trousers and not super comfy stretchy tights. We suggest you buy the same size as your undies. 

  • The Thunderpants fabric is 90% cotton and 10% spandex to give it that super comfy, soft stretchy feel. The waist  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 X. ★★★★★

The artichoke print is so quirky and fun, it gets compliments every time I wear them. The new self banded waist sits flat and doesn't dig in, which makes these my new go-to for long days at the office.

Ryan H. ★★★★★

Comfort-wise these are exactly what I hoped for—the self-banded waist means no digging or rolling even after a full day of wear. The artichoke print feels retro in the best way, and it’s a fun conversation starter.

Richard ★★★★★

The artichoke print is even prettier in person than it looked on screen — the colors are so rich. The fabric has a nice weight to it and the self-banded waist makes them really comfortable for all-day wear.
