One pants pattern, two looks! The Rika Pants are a timeless, versatile design that can feel like tailored trousers or utilitarian workwear, depending on your choice of details.

- View A is cropped and tailored with deep hem cuffs, a tabbed waistband, angled belt loops, and rounded back pockets with flaps.
- View B is full-length and utilitarian with a classic waistband, wide belt loops, and carpenter-style pockets in the back.
