Thaipantsman have actively been importing Thai
Fisherman Pants and Nepali Knitwear for over 20 years. After
routinely slogging out 10 years for a Melbourne based manufacturing
company I resigned and decided to split with pro
rata long service leave cheque in hand. Why not
introduced myself to some tropical and cultural
delights of South East Asia? A radical change of
direction and a good one to that stage! Early days were filled with
lazing around on black sand beaches observing Sarong sellers marketing
their wears while getting intimate with the locals, learing about
tradition and culture, respect and acceptance of many things I did not
understand or know of. Lots of Friendships, Bemo
rides, delightful Hotsprings and Losmens later I decided to move on
from Indonesia to Thailand. This decision made together with a
group of British Backpackers led us to board a large boat, (4th class with
lines painted on squeaky floorboards for beds) served fish heads and
rice bound for Tanjin Penang. Tanjin to Singapore and Train up through
Malaysia to the blissful islands around the South of Thailand.
On further North to the Mountains of Northern Thailand is
where the idea to introduce these wonderful Free Size Thai Fisherman
Pants came to mind.
I was introduced to Thai Fisherman
Pants by making a purchase at the local Market behind Chiang Mai
University in 1988. I quickly learnt the Thai Fisherman Pants suit
all climates and while they are originally designed for Fishing, all the
locals all of a sudden seemed to own a pair. (Of course they already owned
more than one pair and I only just began to notice!) The reason why
became obvious to me after trying the Pants. How often are you stuck to
choose what to wear on your travels and after choosing discovered
you have made a big mistake. Waste of money! No
more! No more tight jeans encroaching into your private regions on those
long train, bus and plane trips. This is bliss!! Pants that fit and
can be confident will fit without even trying them on!
Thaipantsman also trading as Sooriya commenced
trading these Pants into Australia in 1989
. Thaipantsman manufacture Thai Fisherman Pants in 3
different fabrics and each being first grade of the various
textures available. Based in Bangkok and Melbourne our
manufacturing source is cottage industry family business.
We are also actively involved with Nepali Hand knit production of
seriously warm Sweaters, Jackets, Socks, Gloves, Mittens Beanies, Scarves,
Shawls and Ponchos. Heavy emphasis on Ethical Production and the
very finest quality workmanship and finishing all manufactured in a happy,
harmonious, safe, clean working environment from the
start ordering materials, to cutting, sewing, finishing,
packing and marketing all in the one area, under the one roof and in the
one happy atmosphere and environment.
If your Thai Fisherman Pants bear the
Thaipantsman label you know it's the original design and your
garments quality and workmanship have not been compromised.
