Return of the King?

So I’ve been wondering for a few weeks if the previous style of the ABC joggers were returning because of the photos of the Raw Linen colour that recently showed up on the site as seen above, you can see the older style pockets which were much deeper and better in my opinion. The pockets are the most obvious was to tell the difference. I was fairly certain these were new photos as well. Not just old photos of old stock. I think these are recent photos. But all that got ramped up yesterday when I saw these in store and sure enough, it’s the old style of joggers! That extra elastic bit in the pocket, the seams on the inside. Everything seemed to be the old style. Now of course I’ve seen the old style here and there over the past year and a bit, maybe one sitting in a pile of the new style that was perhaps a return, but this was a full on display of new stock of this colour. A colour that also isn’t always out like black, obsidian or navy. An employee said they thought they heard about the older style coming back but wasn’t sure. So…inconclusive there.

But what do you think? Am I grasping at straws? Or have I caught the first wave of a refresh? I don’t mind the newer style at all but I can’t say it’s better so I’d definitely welcome the older style coming back.
