What separates formal trousers from its casual counterparts is the use of finer fabrics - usually wool. It's for when you want to put your best foot forward, so don't go overboard with the details. A classic waistband with side adjusters will do just fine, allowing the sleek cut and fabric of the trousers to shine.
Casual is Easy
The same tailored cut, but swap the grey wool for cotton or linen, and you get versatile chinos. Its high rise dresses it up a notch - ideal for tucking in your casual tops. Add pleats for good measure, and you're ready for the weekend ahead.
Customisable details
Laid-back drawstrings, twin buckles, hardy adjusters and more.
Amalfi
Made for lazy days
The Amalfi is a drawstring style waistband that doesn’t quite fit into a single box. It can dress up a t-shirt, dress down a button-down. It is like a pair of pajamas without the sloppiness, yet can generally be worn as you would with a pair of chinos. It’s not bounded by occasion, but by a mood of relaxation.
Gurkhas
Buckle up
Feared by enemies, but revered by menswear enthusiasts for their masculine shorts. Our Gurkha trousers are a modern take on its shorter predecessor - preserving the iconic waistband and utilitarian pleats while updating it with cuffs for a smoother drape.

Cotton
It's hard to believe that something so soft can ever be so durable as well. And yet cotton is that and more - breathable, sometimes stretchy and often woven in twill in colourful shades. In short, it makes for the ideal everyday chino.
Linen
There're many reasons why linen is regarded as the quintessential summer fabric. Its relaxed character is amplified by its texture and unavoidable creases, while its lightweight and breathable properties keeps your legs cool in the hottest of days.

Wool
