340 GSM Heavyweight

Substantial, structured cotton that holds its shape and outlasts a standard tee.

Mineral Wash

Garment-washed for a broken-in feel that only gets better with every wash.

Original Exclusive Art

Drawn by the founder or with credited guest artists. Found nowhere else.

Made to Order

Created just for you when you order. Less waste, no dead stock.

    • Description

      340 GSM waffle. 70% cotton, 30% polyester. Mineral wash. Loose straight leg. Size up 2 so they sit over the shoe. Made to order. Original Existential art. Use the size recommender and you get the 30-Day Sizing Guarantee (free exchanges). Unstamped orders are final sale except for defects.

      This is not 100% cotton, on purpose. The cotton is the hand. The poly is why a waffle this weight does not die in the wash.

      What it is. A mineral wash waffle sweatpant in 340 GSM (10.0 oz) cotton blend. Loose, straight leg, drawstring waist, slash pockets. The Existential drawing, printed on a waffle blank most streetwear never bothers to use. This is not the 420 GSM snow jogger. It is a different garment on purpose: waffle texture you can see from across the room, a lived-in mineral wash, and a drape that reads like trousers instead of gym pants.

      Most "premium" sweatpants are 180 to 220 GSM jersey with a print slapped on top. You feel that the first week. Then the knees bag, the print cracks, and they look like what they cost. These are 340 GSM waffle knit, 70% cotton and 30% polyester, mineral washed so the color already has history on day one. The waffle holds shape. The cotton is what you live in. The poly is why they do not collapse after a wash. That mix is the whole argument for the price.

      Why waffle, and why this wash

      Waffle knit is a grid. Light hits the ridges and the valleys differently, so the garment has depth even before the art goes on. Fast fashion flattens that into a cheap thermal. A 340 GSM waffle does the opposite. It has hand. It has shadow. It looks expensive because the cloth actually is.

      Then the mineral wash. Each pair comes out a little different. Not costume distressing. A real fade, the kind that used to take a year of wearing. Same family as the rest of the winter line, on a knit that behaves like a different animal. Pair them with a 420 hoodie if you want the full look. Do not confuse the two weights.

      The art is original. Nobody else is selling this drawing, because it did not exist until we drew it. Print area is 40 by 52 cm. Made to order. No fake scarcity. When the run of a design is done, it is done.

      The hand test

      Pick up a mall sweatpant. Now pick up these. You feel the waffle before you see the print. That is the gap between a garment you wear twice and a garment that becomes the pair you reach for in the dark. People who already own Phantasmagorical say the same thing about the heavier pieces. Joseph B., seven shirts in: "The fabric is so thick, soft, washes well with no wrinkles." Jacob, six shirts and two pairs of joggers: the quality and the feel are why he is still here. Steph G. on another pair of our pants: "I realize these are sweatpants but they feel so elevated." That is the standard this blank has to meet.

      Sizing

      These are baggy sweatpants. Size up 2 from your usual size so the leg sits over your shoes. That is not the jogger rule. Joggers size up 1. These size up 2. Founder is 6'2", 180 lbs and wears L in true-to-size tops. On these he would take 2XL.

      Loose straight leg, not a taper, not an elastic cuff. They are long and open at the hem on purpose. If you buy your usual letter they will look like regular sweats. Size up 2 and they stack.

      Sample model 6'1", 154 lbs wears L (mill true-to-size, not our baggy over-shoe fit). Female sample 5'8", 121 lbs wears S. Chart below is the mill spec. Our call is still size up 2.

      How to read the waist. Flat is the waistband laid flat, which is how the mill specs it. Relaxed round is that number doubled. This waist is a drawstring. It stretches past the relaxed figure. Do not read it as your body waist. Use hip, length, and the sample models.

      Size Waist
      flat / relaxed round
      Hip
      flat / round
      Length
      S 13.4" / 26.8" 23.6" / 47.2" 40.6"
      M 14.2" / 28.3" 24.4" / 48.8" 41.3"
      L 15.0" / 29.9" 25.2" / 50.4" 42.1"
      XL 15.8" / 31.5" 26.0" / 52.0" 42.9"
      2XL 16.5" / 33.1" 26.8" / 53.5" 43.7"

      Frequently asked questions

      Is this 100% cotton?

      No. 70% cotton, 30% polyester. The cotton is the hand and the print surface. The poly is recovery, so a 340 GSM waffle does not bag out at the knee. If you want 100% cotton 420, that is the Existential snow jogger.

      These cost more than mall sweatpants. What am I paying for?

      340 GSM waffle instead of thin jersey. A mineral wash that is already broken in. Original art nobody else has. A garment that is supposed to look better in year two, not get donated. If a $40 pair was going to do that, you would already own it.

      Is this the same as the 420 GSM Existential joggers?

      No. Those are 420 GSM heavyweight cotton, tapered, elastic cuff, and they run small. These are 340 GSM waffle, loose straight leg, cotton-poly. Same brand standard. Different blank. Read the chart.

      The waist numbers look small. Is L really a 15 inch waist?

      That is the waistband measured flat at rest, then doubled for the relaxed round. Drawstring. It stretches. Use hip, length, and the sample models. The 6'1" 154 lb sample wears L.

      Will they shrink?

      The blank is already garment washed. Wash cold at 30 C, tumble dry low. Expect the wash character, not a surprise shrink.
