Piece-dyed and stone-washed, these carpenter pants unite utilitarian style with meticulous embellishments throughout. Representing balance between the earth, the sky, and oneself, an embroidered reflection motif accents the back left pocket as a sign of protection and good energy, while hand-beaded four-directional stars join embroidered diamonds to represent trails on the land. They are finished with a decorative hand-beaded border at the back right pocket and tack work along both legs, upholding a Northern Plains cultural ethos in which time-intensive handwork expresses love, affection, and appreciation.
