This is the latest version of the fabled Hankster Messenger Knicker. We made some improvements where we thought necessary, all the while keeping most of the standard features. The face fabric is a hair lighter than before, allowing for extended wear outside the fall/winter weather window. To put it in common terms, the weight of the fabric feels more Dickie® than Carhartt®. The slight stretch in this fabric comes from its construction (mechanical). The material also has the added benefit of an enhanced Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish applied to the fabric, making them extremely water-resistant. In addition, the front pockets received a super plush lining upgrade. From a styling standpoint, we did away with the lower cargo pockets in favor of adding a stealth side cell pocket. The thread color is a subtle brownish contrast. The Hanksters come in black for now, with the likelihood of another color added before fall ’06. And now we pick up with the description of old . . .

This technical trouser will enable you to hit any road, trail, or grocery isle in swanky style. They're cut long enough to give your knees some protection, but short enough to avoid drive train disaster. They have a constructed, half-elastic waistband, with belt-loops and a zippered fly. We use a burly non-swiveling tack button closure. They have a comfortable cut. Two front pockets with a little stitch doo-dad to keep your precious hard-earned change from seeping back out of the pocket and into a couch crevasse. The rear pockets are sized to fit a Mini U-Lock, easy to access, and secured with a Velcro® closure. They have a reinforced seat (with a subtle, built-in anti-microbial pad). We bar tack in critical stress areas. We've tested this knicker doing just about anything and everything and it still proves itself time and time again. They're about as faithful as an old friend.
