Slim yet fleece-lined! Versatile slacks you can wear elegantly

“AEROSTRETCH Warm Slacks” are a pair that combines a sleek, slim silhouette with a soft, fleece-lined interior. With an elegant look that doesn’t seem like cold-weather pants at all, they’re designed to fit naturally into office casual outfits or jacket styles for the weekend.

Made with 50% stretch material, they allow smooth movement for walking and going up and down stairs. And even if you prioritize warmth, they won’t make your outfit look bulky or leave your legs feeling puffy.

The surface has a water-repellent finish to ward off sudden rain or snow, and it also comes with a smartphone pocket that’s handy for storing small items. Another feature is the use of “REBORN,” a recycled fiber made from PET bottles, in the pocket bags. From the daily commute to saving energy indoors, they’re useful in a wide range of situations.

“Insulating clothing” for ironclad protection! A pair that balances lightness and warmth

A major topic this year is the “XShelter Insulation β Light Warm Stretch Pants.” This model uses a second-generation special insulating sheet that has drawn attention as “insulating clothing.” Its special multilayer structure, made with aerogel material, creates layers of air and blocks out external cold.

The combined effect of sunlight-to-heat absorption and heat retention means you can wear them for a long time, from chilly days to the depths of winter. While they provide wind resistance, their moisture absorption and release properties help vent trapped humidity from inside the clothing. When you go into a heated train or indoors, they’re designed for comfort and to resist clamminess even if you sweat.

The insulating sheet itself has stretch properties, so they feel light to wear and let you move your legs comfortably. They also come with durable water repellency and insulating pockets that help block cold air, so you can wear them toughly without worrying about the weather.

Sizes / S, M, L, LL, 3L, 4L

Overwhelming popularity with a cumulative 1.4 million pairs sold. Fleece that generates heat from sunlight

“STRETCH Micro Warm Pants” are one of Workman’s long-selling flagship models, with cumulative sales surpassing 1.4 million pairs. The lining uses “sunlight-to-heat fleece.” A special powder mixed into the fibers absorbs sunlight and infrared rays, generating heat.

They have a fluffy, blanket-like feel against the skin. They also feature “AERO SPARK,” an anti-static treatment that reduces static electricity and helps prevent the crackling sensation when putting them on and taking them off (excluding Corduroy Black).

Although made from durable, thick fabric, they offer 120% stretch and a “3D moving cut” at the knees for smooth bending and stretching. With a carabiner loop on the right waist and an easy-access smartphone pocket, they’re packed with features that make you want to head out hands-free.
