Tartan didn't start with punk, but punk made it mean something else entirely. Malcolm McLaren pulled it off a bolt of fabric and stuck it on the Pistols, and nothing about plaid has been innocent since.The Avengence pants from Banned Apparel carry that lineage without cosplaying it. Heavy tartan construction with hardware straps that cross the legs like an afterthought that became the whole point. Multiple zip pockets because you have things to carry and nowhere respectable to be. These are pants for a night that starts at a record store and ends somewhere you'll need to explain later. The kind of dark alternative fashion that doesn't ask permission.Banned Apparel runs true to the gothic and punk aesthetic without watering it down for the mainstream, which is why they sit in this shop and not in a mall. Pair with platforms, creepers, or 20-hole Docs and let the tartan do the rest.Material: woven polyester tartan with metal hardware and zip detailing. Available in Small. Machine washable.
