No Brainer

The brain loves routine—let’s be honest, it’s wired that way. From your morning coffee to that well-trodden route to work, if your brain can save itself the trouble of thinking it will. Whether it’s cooking recipes, holidays, or the mug you like to drink out…

Well, we hope your brain is ready for this because the Winter Trousers are about to throw a spanner in the works.

Jeans and chinos: the eternal legwear duo. We’re all guilty of it like it’s the only option out there. Ads, movies, TV shows—these two have monopolised men’s wardrobes for ages. But we’re here to break the cycle.

That’s right, the flashing dot on your trouser radar is indeed a pair of Winter Trousers and it’s about to make your day-to-day a lot less monotonous. Yes, jeans are hard to beat. Of course, you wear chinos all the time. But breaking up this cotton duopoly is a third brain-friendly open: The Winter Trousers… made from wool. You know, that lovely warm material you wear all winter on most other parts of your body?

Finally, a simple and easy pair of trousers not made from cotton. They'll keep you warm, comfortable and looking good thanks to the beautiful wool they’re made from.

Tell your brain to calm down, three ain’t a crowd.

Wool brings soul to your trousers. Texture, warmth… dare we say sophistication? These are totally accessible trousers that bring something genuinely different to your daily choice of legwear. Different, but well within the boundaries of what your brain can deal with first thing in the morning.

Without wanting to sound naff, the Winter Trousers bring a touch of low-key luxury to your day-to-day. A discreet and effortless sophistication. Refined without being brash, distinguished without going over the top. Sorry, that was a bit naff.

And wool’s no slouch in the performance department. Its natural characteristics are well documented at Asphalte, and we know you love them too. Warmth, breathability, durability, antibacterial. Not to mention crease-resistant and biodegradable.

“Wool’s just for formal trousers.”

False. While it’s true that most suits are made from wool, there are a lot of other parameters involved (the type of wool, the thickness of the fibres, the diameter of the yarn, the weaving technique, the tailoring, the finishing, etc.).

We designed this wool to feel casual and we’ve cut it just like our Summer Trousers with a semi-high waist, straight leg down to the knee and slightly tapered from there to the ankle.

You can wear these with anything from a T-shirt and trainers to a shirt and blazer. Dress them up, dress them down—any way you wish.

Made from carefully selected Australian wool, 100% traceable European production, the Winter Trousers are as easy to wear as your other usual suspects. The hard part is choosing which colour to go for.

The Winter Trousers are available for preorder at 119€ starting Tuesday at 10 am CET. You can expect delivery mid-December, just in time to save you from your routine. Miss out? You might get a chance to catch them in a later Stock Sale, but at 159€ to reflect the cost of inventory. Better act fast!
