Why is it masculine?

Pantalón is masculine because it derives from the Italian "pantalone," which referred to a male character in commedia dell'arte and was originally used as a singular noun for a type of tight trousers worn by men, retaining the masculine gender when adopted into Spanish. Like many garment words, its gender follows the gender of the original word in its source language rather than a predictable rule.
