1937 Roamer Pant 11oz Metal: the original cut of the Pike Brothers work pants
The 1937 Roamer Pant 11oz Metal by Pike Brothers is directly inspired by early American work jeans from the 1930s. Made from 11 oz Japanese denim with a characteristic metallic tint, these pants offer a looser and higher fit than models from later decades, faithfully reproduced from period patterns.
The 1937 cut is characterized by a classic high waist, a wide leg that tapers slightly towards the hem, and a metal button fly. This generous silhouette was originally designed for manual labor and today offers unparalleled comfort for riders and lovers of authentic vintage cuts. The 11oz denim is light enough to be worn year-round without sacrificing durability.
The craftsmanship is impeccable: reinforced double-stitched seams, copper rivets at stress points, deep and functional pockets, and wide, sturdy belt loops. The selvedge edge is visible on the reverse, a testament to the quality of the shuttle loom weaving. The leather of the back label will develop a beautiful patina over time.
This Metal raw denim will evolve in a unique way with wear. Areas of friction will gradually reveal the white core of the yarn, creating personalized wash marks that raw denim enthusiasts seek. Each pair thus becomes a unique piece bearing the imprint of its owner.
Available at Holdfast, the official Pike Brothers retailer in France, the 1937 Roamer Pant is the ideal choice for those who value historical authenticity and craftsmanship in their workwear wardrobe.

All measurements are in centimeters — the pants are measured flat.
How to choose the right size
Waist size: Measure around your natural waist (above your navel) with a tape measure held flat and loosely. The 1947 cut has a high waist—refer to the front/back band for seating comfort.
Lower leg: Hem width measured flat. Useful for determining if your boots will fit over the top.
Length: The available inseam lengths are L32 (81 cm), L34 (86 cm) and L36 (91 cm). Measure from the inseam to the desired ankle.
Biker tip: 21oz denim is stiff at first and will stretch by 1 to 2 cm at the waist after being broken in. Order your exact size; it will adapt to your body shape.

The waxed vest is a key piece. It goes with everything. The patina it develops over time is superb.
