Independence Day
The New Set is made of a jacket and trousers cut from the same cloth. And just like some of our favourite duos, they can also have great solo careers. Mix and match, wear together, wear apart — it all goes. But today, let’s zoom in on the bottom half: The New Trousers.
A seasoned fabric
To give the New Trousers maximum character, we chose a twill that goes right back to its workwear roots. But we didn’t want to make just another work trousers. So, we went off script. First, we picked a breezy 265g/m² weight — light enough to wear mid-season and beyond. Then, we swapped basic twill for a subtle herringbone. The result? Legwear with added depth, style, and a lot more soul.
A studied cut
Nothing stiff, nothing stuffy. If you’ve worn our Summer Trousers, you’ll feel right at home: same straight leg, same easy fit, same 21 cm leg opening. If you like your trousers unfussy but sharp, these will hit the mark.
Comfortable appeal
Try them once, and you’ll be hooked. The elasticated waistband is doing more heavy lifting than it lets on - no offense - keeping your trousers in place without squeezing the life out of you. With just the right amount of give, you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for elegance.
Solid pockets
Two Italian-style pockets at the front, one patch pocket out back. All top-stitched for good measure. Inside, thick cotton twill linings that stand up to wear and tear. Plenty of room for your essentials — and no risk of your keys breaking through.
The usual finishing touches
If you know us, we never skimp on durability. The New Trousers come with a solid YKK metal zip, bio-resin buttons sewn in with an Ascolite machine, five belt loops, and a clean 3 cm hem. Designed to stay sharp for the long run.
Oh we care
Whether worn separately or as part of the New Set, there’re a doddle to care for. Machine wash on a 30°C cotton cycle, spin at 600–800 rpm, then air dry flat. No dry cleaner, no drama.
A blank page
The New Trousers are a blank canvas with a lot of character. Both tidy and laid-back, they’re game for pretty much anything. Suit them up with a jacket, dress them down with a Henley, or add some flair with a crisp shirt. However you wear them, it all just works.
