Our original, flat-front dress trousers are cut on the slimmer side for a tailored look without going too skinny. This… pair is made of English 2ply high-twist wool that works hard, resists wrinkles, keeps its shape, and travels beautifully. It's a go-to fabric for us 365 days a year, 7 days a week, which means that if you're only going to have a few pairs of pants in your arsenal, this should be one of them. Real workhorse trousers. They're made in Italy with dark horn buttons, on-seam pockets, end-on-end pocketing, a split-back waist with our signature green bartack, and a 37.5" unfinished inseam that’s ready to tailor to your perfect length.
These trousers come unfinished, which means they need to be tailored before you wear them! The legs have a standard 37.5” inseam so your local tailor can hem them to your perfect length (or add a cuff if you like.) If you’re near one of our stores, our in-house tailors can also take care of this.
We used this English high-twist wool for the very first suit we ever made. It’s fine and smooth and a little bit crunchy, with a slightly open (read: breathable) weave because the yarns are twisted more tightly than in a typical worsted. That also gives it excellent bounce-back. You have to work pretty hard to wrinkle it — and even when you do, a quick overnight hang will usually have it looking fresh again — so it’s especially good for travel. Between the resilience and the breathability, it’s a true 365-days-a-year fabric.
“We talk about high twist wool all the time, (and if you’re into suits, you probably already know all about it). But a lot of guys don’t realize how versatile a deep, dark grey is… or that you can wear it 365 days a year, any type of weather.”
