The brand dubbed the R-Pant is designed to be worn underneath skinny jeans and trousers, Contactmusic reported.

"Over the last three years we've seen an increase in the popularity of hipsters. The new range is designed to appeal to a young, fashion-savvy customer," Richard Beale, head of merchandising at the store, said.

Russell Brand and Mark Ronson were also named as inspirations for the brand of pants.

However, British-born heartthrob Pattinson turned down the opportunity to model for the brand.
