Often a single seam is what gives plain pants their character. On the Crafter Front-Yoke Pants, a horizontal seam crosses the front just below the waistband and the front pockets are set into it. The back of the waist is elastic, and the front closes with a zipper and a metal button. They are cut from a 100% cotton twill and come in 3 colors, Dark Beige, Brown and Black, in 5 sizes from XS to XL. They are part of the Crafter series.
Front-Yoke Elastic Waist Pants Features
Front yoke seam with pockets set into it
A horizontal seam runs across the front of the Crafter Front-Yoke Pants below the waistband. The front pockets open into that seam, so the openings stay discreet and the front looks flat. There are two pockets at the back as well.
Buttoned front, elastic back waist
The back of the waist is elastic, while the front closes with a zipper and a metal button with the salamander emblem. From the front they look like neat tailored pants; when you sit, the elastic waist keeps them comfortable.
Belt loops
The waist is elastic, but there are belt loops too. Wear a belt or go without.
Wide, straight leg
The pants run in a straight, wide line from hip to hem and sit comfortably with boots and sneakers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the front yoke seam do?
The front yoke seam divides the front of the pants horizontally below the waistband. Because the front pockets open into the seam, the pocket openings stay discreet and the front looks flat. It adds a distinctive detail to plain pants.
Is the waist elastic?
The back of the waist on the Crafter Front-Yoke Pants is elastic, while the front closes with a zipper and a metal button with the salamander emblem. There are belt loops, so you can wear a belt if you like.
How many pockets do the pants have?
Four: two front pockets set into the yoke seam and two back pockets. Because the front pocket openings sit within the seam, the front of the pants looks flat.
Is the leg slim?
No. The pants run in a straight, wide line from hip to hem and do not taper toward the ankle. If you are looking for slim pants, this model is not for you.
