Australian Stitch
Wide-Leg Track Pant (Garment Dyed)
Crafted entirely in Naarm from 100 percent organic cotton, our Close To Home Track Pants are part of our new small batch garment dyed collection. Inspired by native plants and vintage books found in the factory, each shade is dyed after construction, giving the pants a soft, lived in feel and subtle colour variation that makes every pair truly one of one.
Knitted, sewn and garment dyed within a few kilometres of our store, these pants reflect the values our brand is built on - honest craft, local making and pieces designed for real Australian conditions.
WHY THEY WORK IN SUMMER
Because they are made from pure cotton brushed fleece, these pants feel structured without being heavy. Cotton allows airflow, making them ideal for warm day cool changes, evenings by the water, post swim chills, long drives, morning coffee runs, camping trips and all the in between moments of an Australian summer.

NATURAL VARIATIONS TO EXPECT
Because each hoodie is garment dyed after construction, subtle differences are a natural and beautiful part of the process. No two pieces will ever be exactly the same, and that uniqueness is what gives this collection its character.
- Colour Variation: Shade depth may differ slightly from piece to piece. This comes from the minerals in the water, the weather on dye day and the hands involved — all part of the charm of true small batch dyeing.
- Fit Variation: Organic cotton naturally relaxes and tightens during the garment dye process. Small differences in length or width can occur and are considered part of the intended final fit.
- Brushed Fleece Texture: Because the hoodies are dyed after construction, the brushed inner fleece will feel slightly flatter and more lived in rather than fluffy. This softens beautifully with wear.
These variations are not faults. they are signs of an honest, human process, made entirely within a few kilometres of our store.
GARMENT DYED
WHAT MAKES THESE SO SPECIAL
Each pair is dyed after construction, allowing the colour to settle into the seams and fibres in a way regular fabric dyeing cannot achieve. Weather, water and minerals naturally influence the outcome, meaning no two pairs will ever be identical — a hallmark of true small batch craft.
