I’m picking colours for the phone pocket pant? And, you know, I always like to get your input.
3 colours
Black is always the anchor colour in any style especially pants. It’s a must do. I learned that early on.
In manufacturing, you typically get to pick 3 colourways, which is the term used in the fashion industry for colour combinations.
So, the first colour will be black. The 2nd colour will be this charcoal grey mix. It’s the colour I sampled the pants in. It’s a nice alternative to black.
Charcoal grey mix
That leaves the 3rd colour choice open. What’s your favourite colour for pants, other than black? Or maybe I should be asking: What colour would you like to wear this Fall? What are you missing in your wardrobe?
Options
Here are a few options to get you started. I know it’s difficult to capture true colours on camera and then online, but it gives you an idea of what’s available in bamboo.
Navy
Olive Green
Plum
The pants will be going into production in August which means I need to order the fabric soon.
The fabric will be a medium weight bamboo french terry. It’s super soft against your skin and breathable. It almost feels like you’re not wearing pants at all, lol.
The Joy
The name of these pants will be the Joy. Joy Rodgers is a breast cancer survivor. She’s the creator of Joyful Packages and offers cancer care packages and accessories for men, women, and children. There will be more to come on Joy, her journey, and how she started Joyful Packages during the launch of the Joy phone pocket pant.
In the meantime, comment below with your colour choice or send me an email at colleen@cokanna.ca. As always, I love to hear from you!

My choice would be “marine”
Hi Giselle, Thanks for your Marine vote!
I’m thinking plum for the Fall.
It’s not a commonly seen colour so this would be nice for a change and add a little humpf in any wardrobe.
Hi Mariette, Yes, plum is a nice warm colour for Fall. Thanks for your input.
I love the plum! Such a great fall colour , followed by olive and then navy . Those pants look so comfy!
Tara, Thanks so much for your picks in order of preference. Plum is a great Fall shade. I just don’t know how many customers would go for it.
Hi Colleen! One vote for marine/navy. 🙂
Hi Nancy, Navy is a good choice. It’s a classic!
Olive!
Thanks so much for your vote, Nancy! I like the Olive too!
I think olive would be a great third colour.
Ann
Hi Ann, The Olive seems to be a popular choice. It’s a nice colour for the Fall. Thanks for your help.
I vote Olive for this phone pocket pant- Mary B
Mary, I knew you would like the Olive. Thanks for your vote.
I love the olive. 2nd choice plum. Marine is always a classic, especially for pants.
Hi Sandie, Thanks for your vote. I’m partial to the Olive as well. Something different.
Navy or Plum would be my choices.
Colleen, just wondering how this style will be for someone with my body shape. Any comment?
Hi Joan, Thanks for your colour choices. These pants will be more slim fitting than the Joan pants that you have, not so much in the waist but in the leg. Most women wear a longer top over more of a legging type pant like this. I hope this helps.
Navy please!
Hi Cathy, Navy is a popular choice. Thanks for your vote!
Navy …always a lovely classic and attractive colour that goes with many colours on top. 😊
Hi Carolyn, Thanks so much for weighing in on the colour. I agree navy is a classic that goes with many other colours.
I love the black and grey, but my vote is for navy. Excited for new cozy pants!
Thanks, Tanya! Navy is in the lead!
I cite olive – it’s a versatile, warm colour that goes with lots
Hi Denise, Thanks for your vote for Olive. I agree, it’s a great colour for the Fall.
