The other day I saw a guy wearing pants that look like they had a chino cut. They had a distinct design detail which was that the fabric clasp that closed one of the back pockets was in neon pink. The fabric might have been cotton, but could also be some kind of mixed technical fabric. I couldn't tell. The pants were dark navy colour, almost black.

The pants also had the same neon pink inseam detail, which was visible because the person had their pant leg rolled up once or twice. It showed similar to the red lines on a pair of selvedge denim pants.

I noticed that the other back pocket seemed to have a zipper closure.

The guy was in front of me on a bike, and I didn't manage to get his attention to ask him where he had bought his pants.

So now I'm asking in the lemmyverse, any sartorialists out there who has seen these pants, and know what make they are? I tried Googling, but it didn't return that particular brand.

I have a pair of pants similar to that I got from a thrift store (mine are bright purple stitching instead of pink, and instead of chino cut they're more like bellbottoms). It has no tags, no labels, or anything to identify the manufacturer and since the cut is a little off (one leg is slightly thinner than the other, and the pockets are weird as hell) I often wonder if they were custom made.

Bike like bicycle?

Yes indeed, I spotted him on a bicycle ahead of me.

Were they Mountain Bike Pants ?

No, not mountain bike pants, good suggestion though. They looked more like the cut of dress pants or chinos, but with a few features that stood out, like the one zippered back pocket.

They might be what's called "commuter" gear. It's performance gear that you can wear off the bike. The combination of hi-vis accents, zippered pocket, and chino cut makes it sound like it could be.

Thank you. Apologies for my late reply. I will try to look for "commuter" gear because, as you say, the combination of the properties you mention make it sound like it could be something like that.
