Thaipantsman have activelly been importing Thai Fisherman Pants for over 20 years. After routinely slogging out 10 years for a Melbourne based manufacturing company I accepted a pro rata long service leave cheque and introduced myself to South East Asia. A radical life change and best decision I ever made! Early days were made filled with lazing around on black sand beaches, surfing breaks around Canggu, leaping from bemo to bemo, in and out of Cheap and Enticing Losmens of Indonesia and Lazing in hot springs all while taking in the Bahasa Indonesia and Culture. I then decided along with a group of British Backpackers to board a large boat, (4th class with lines painted on squeaky floorboards in place of 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, i.e, Samui, Phan gan, Pii Pii areas. On further North to the sands of the Mekong is where the idea to bring these pants to Australia sprung up. My Son was born and all I seemed to be wearing were locally made Thai Brand Singlets or T-Shirts and THAI FISHERMAN PANTS.

I was introduced to Thai Fisherman Pants early in 1988 by a Local NGO Worker. We had a strong mutual agreement regarding the Thai Fisherman Pants comfort style and versatility. These Pants suit all climates and while they are originally designed for Fishing, all the locals all of a sudden seemed to own a pair. The reason why became obvious to me after trying the Pants. How often are you stuck to choose what to wear on your travels. No more!

Thaipantsman also trading as Sooriya manufacture Thai Fisherman Pants in 3 different fabrics and each being the “Rolls Royce” of the various textures available. Based in Bangkok and Melbourne our manufacturing base is cottage industry family business with an emphasis on Ethical Production and the very finest quality workmanship and finishing. If your garment bears the Thaipantsman label you know it’s the original design and your garments quality and workmanship have not been compromised. Beware of imitation being manufactured in Bali, India and Nepal. In these cases the material quality, sewing is always compromised and the general integrity and spirituality of the Garment is severley compromised.
