Sweatpants are such a critically important part of our wardrobes that we simply don’t talk enough about. They’re loungewear, they’re casual wear, they’re so incredibly comfortable that they sort of disappear when you wear them. In a post-quarantine world, sweatpants are essential, and if you’re someone who enjoys time spent relaxing at home – you know exactly what we’re talking about.

In this Staff Select, we’re sharing our go-to sweatpants, and (spoiler alert) we’re not all done up in fine loopwheeled cotton fabrics that were milled on antique machines. No, we’re a bit more wide-ranging than that, but what exactly are our preferences? Affordable? Vintage? Japanese-made?

Why trust us? Well, we’ve all been in the game long enough to have field-tested a range of quality clothing, and the Heddels operation puts us onto some of the best clothing in the world week in, week out. Whilst our opinions and experiences shouldn’t be taken as definitive, this series will provide you insight into what has worked for us and why.

James – The Real McCoy’s Joe McCoy Ball Park Sweatpants

I recently reviewed Camber‘s Cross-Knit sweatwear for Heddels+, with a big focus on their sweatpants. Honestly, Cambers’ sweatpants are really good, but when it comes to the creme de la creme of cotton knitwear, it has to be loopwheeled.

And thus enter my Loopwheeled Sweatpants by The Real McCoy’s. I’ve had these for about 3 years and they’ve a ton of wear. Countless day trips, dog walks, lazy days — and washes — and not any pilling to be seen. The inside is still pretty soft, too. Especially when washed with a really decent fabric conditioner.

Honestly, I can’t advocate for these enough, from the supreme quality, vintage aesthetic, and customizable silhouette offered up by the drawstring hems.

Available from Lost & Found for $285.
