Pat’s Pants for Art Dialogues

Pat's Pants began as a creative collaboration between Pat Hoblin and an ex-partner, serving as an artistic outlet to explore different styles, dyes, and techniques in clothing. What started as a playful concept—after a comment about a pair of eccentric pants he was wearing—quickly evolved into something bigger. The name "Pat's Pants" sparked from that moment, and soon they were crafting a pant that embodied our vision. We made the first sample, and the rest is history.

Pat’s Pants was founded in 2016 and what began as a personal project soon evolved into a full-fledged business.

Riding for the legendary Shut Skateboards—founded in 1986 and holding it down on the streets of NYC longer than any other brand—Pat proudly carries forward its iconic legacy. His free-spirited, loose, and raw style of skateboarding perfectly embodies the gritty energy of the world’s “greatest” city.


“The initial idea was to create a style of pants that combined elements from various pieces I loved. With my background in skateboarding, I wanted to ensure the pants offered both functionality and durability, essential qualities for an active lifestyle. That balance of form and purpose remains the core of Path Pants, blending artistic expression with practical design.”

“Lately, what I love most about it is being able to share the experience with friends and people who genuinely inspire me. Collaborating on projects with artists, skaters, musicians, and creatives from all walks of life has been incredibly rewarding. It’s about supporting each other, growing together, and expanding in new directions, all while keeping the creative vision true and moving forward in the right way”.
