BLACK YAK <BR /> Tianzhu Pants <BR /> Summer 2018

We have developed the Tianzhu Pants to add a lightweight cotton pant to the BLACKYAK pants collection. The pants are produced using cotton for extra comfort and a relaxed look. The waist band has been designed with adjustment possibilities for standard belt loops. Also, a small channel has been added with a rope cord inserted for adjustment.

Knee shaping darts have been added for extra shape and comfort. The back side has a shaped yoke with tonal branding and an integrated back side zip close pocket. Furthermore, there are two deep hand pockets stabilised with bonded welts at the front side. The garment has been designed with a tonal branding package. For strong optical effect these pants are finished in a tonal two colour block.

Powerful and majestic, the Yak moves continuously up the mountain. Fully loaded with expedition material, these animals are used to strain and hard work. Their robust form has enabled them to survive the ice age, continuing under the most arduous conditions. They live in the Himalayan Mountains. Yak’s also benefit people in many ways. They give wool, milk, and meat. They are perfect for riding or transporting large and heavy loads. It is effectively the Sherpa of Sherpa’s. The best friend of the mountain climber. For these reasons, BlackYak has chosen the Yak as a namesake and company logo. It symbolizes the connection with the mountain climbers, the Yaks, the mountains, nature. BlackYak was founded in 1973 in Seoul / South Korea. The company aim was to make the climbing process easier for mountaineers by providing them with the best possible clothing and product. In short, BlackYak seeks to be just as valuable a companion to mountaineers as the Yaks. The development work of BlackYak benefit ambitious mountaineers, ski tourers and hikers. They all value the functional clothing of BlackYak, which offers them protection against cold, wet and wind. South Korea is the second largest outdoor market in the world.
