These pants are a unisex cut, rich with intricate detailing. They have a dropped crotch with a functional longer exposed eleven-button fly which extends down to the just above bottom of the crotch as an extra subtlety. The wide leg and relaxed fit make these some of the most comfortable pants I own. They have a cropped length which, due to the garments paneling, can create a cinched aesthetic from behind the calf which allows them to transition seamlessly into your choice of footwear – I think they look best with pair of black boots with a slim shaft! They can be worn high or low waisted due to the non-restrictive nature of the pant rise and you can practically size up or down in order to fit your body type best and they will still look fantastic. They have two back patch pockets and two front side seam pockets to store plenty of daily necessities. The main attraction to this garment is the 3D front panel detailing which can be situated to lay flatter against the body or flared out for a more experimental and dramatic silhouette. These pants can easily be dressed up or down with the simple addition of one of our shirt offering’s or a casual top respectively. The fabric is also composed of a cotton/elastane blend to ensure all-day comfort and no restriction in any areas of your lower body. A truly magnificent pair of pants which can adapt to any occasion or intended use.
In regards to sizing, I wear a size 2 in this garment and you can find it HERE.
A simple yet not understated silhouette these pants bring. They are a slim-cut jogger with front-facing pleats and a slightly dropped crotch. Elasticated waist with drawstring fastening and an elasticated cuff at the hem. They also have two rear patch pockets and side seam slip pockets for extra storage on the go. These pants come in two fabric options – the AN and the OL. The AN is a cotton/elastane blend with a crisp and dry hand-feel, similar to a heavyweight poplin weave. Even with the slim cut of the leg, the elastane ensures they will always conform to your bodily movements. The front facing pleats sharpen its appearance to a more refined aesthetic which, paired with the sleek nature of the weave, allow the pair to be dressed up with boots as I so often do, while still retaining the comfort of a casual outfit. The subtle dropped crotch is a very accessible detail to those looking to newly experiment with proportion altering by pairing it with a long-line top or it can serve as a more toned-down option for the layering adept. The OL fabric is a heavy-weight terry fabric with added elastane for a comfortable stretch. These boast the same detailing as the AN counterpart but aimed for a more casual and comfortable look and feel. Similar to your favourite pair of sweatpants, these can fill the same role in your wardrobe as a go-to for a cosy day inside or a casual day out of the house. There are endless styling possibilities for these two options and I certainly regard these as one of our must-haves, available in a choice of fabric that will be suited to everyone – one way or the other.
In these I take a size 2, but due to the drawstring fastening and elasticated waist, sizing is very generous and can fit a range of waist sizes. They can be found HERE for the AN version and HERE for the OL version.
The final pair of pants I would love to communicate with you today is the Dart Pant.
These are a full length, slim fit trouser. Sleek, tailored, refined and smart are my best description of these. They are for the Et Al Man who prefers a dressier appearance. These come accompanied with a visible asymmetrical button closure with internal hook fastening, a higher rise and darting at the crotch and waist for a tailored fit. The fabric for these trousers was made in Japan – a cotton/polyurethane blend. It is a heavyweight cotton flannel with a brushed hand-feel with a polyurethane coating for additional wind and water resistance. These also, like most of our offerings, feature a dropped crotch for comfort, sizing flexibility and added layering potential. The high rise and dropped crotch allow for a high or low waisted fit, so sizing up or down should be no problem for the typical gentleman to fit your needs and your waist. I make these pants my go-to dress option with a button-up shirt and boots for a smart occasion or wear a form fitting knit or t-shirt in a more casual environment. They come with an intentionally long inseam which can be worn as is, or hemmed to your desired length. We do offer an alterations service and you can get your trousers shortened by our most trusted tailor if you so choose. I also often pair these with a cropped blazer such as the Hardy Blazer and a longline top to balance my proportions. These can fall perfectly on some derbies or other dress shoes in your footwear rotation and can be a pair of pants that will last you through many years to come.
I take a size 1 in the Dart Pant but can just as easily wear a size 2 on my lower waist. HERE is a link to this pair of trousers.
Now that the weather is cooling down as we transition into Autumn, I will be getting lots of wear out of my own pairs of these I have discussed. I know I will have no trouble making them work for my needs for any seasons in the upcoming future. I have shown you the versatility and dynamic nature of all of these garments and I hope I can help you with your own personal uniform in the making.
