When it comes to vacation, everyone needs time to get away. I know for myself, I always pack way too many clothes and items, only to end up wearing the same three things over and over again. The V2 Pants are designed for exactly that kind of trip.

The Northrune Shorts feature a forward-positioned pocket design that improves hip mobility and overall comfort. The updated construction allows for greater stretch while creating a more natural, accessible pocket opening than traditional side-seam pockets.

With 5 pockets, double-knee fabric, and a comfortable cut, the Northrune Pant is perfect for traveling.
Back Pocket Upgrade
Back pocket sewing process updated to occur before removing extra slack in the pocket. Originally, there wasn’t much slack, but this change improves durability. Each pocket is now sewn before attaching the legs, with the left and right legs sewn together for added strength.

Northrune Pant — The Evergreen Overlock Stitch
Every pair of Northrune Pants tells a story—one of craftsmanship, intention, and Minnesota-made authenticity. When you hold a pair in your hands, you’re not just holding fabric. You’re holding hours of sewing, shaping, and refining that all happens right here in Minnesota.
How to Spot a True Northrune Original
The telltale sign of an authentic Northrune Pant is inside—the evergreen overlock stitch. While most brands match their thread to the color of the pant, we chose a different path. Our stitching uses an earth-tone evergreen thread that represents our connection to the outdoors and our brand identity. It’s not hidden—it’s intentional.
That single color choice has become our signature mark. It’s quiet but distinct, a reminder that even the smallest details matter.
Why We Chose It
We didn’t want our products to blend in with the fast-fashion crowd. The evergreen stitch symbolizes longevity, growth, and nature—all core to what Northrune stands for. It’s the same green that runs through our logo, our values, and our story as a Minnesota-made brand.
Sewn 100% in Minnesota
Every stitch, seam, and cut is done here at home. From the first piece of fabric to the final thread, the Northrune Pant is 100% sewn in Minnesota—not overseas, not outsourced. It’s our way of keeping craftsmanship local and proving that quality can come from right here in our own backyard.
So the next time you’re checking out a pair of Northrune Pants, flip them inside out. You’ll find the evergreen overlock stitch—a small detail that carries the full story of how and where it was made.
