The reference garments used for this design were made in the late 40's.
One was a work uniform used by delivery drivers, and the other was a western formal dress trouser. We decided to utilize details from both garments to achieve a design that retains the durable construction elements of workwear while simultaneously boasting the elegant look of formal wear. This resulted in creating a pair of trousers that is not only beautiful by design, but also built for durability.
The Pinstripe HBT used in this garment was woven in Japan. Recreating a period specific workwear fabric used by delivery drivers for a well known beverage company. It is a strongly woven, durable and breathable fabric.
The pearl snap fasteners are made of brass. this hardware is aged to reflect the passing of time. The pearls are made of a genuine marble stone that is polished for a smooth, and cool to the touch feel that only natural stones achieve.
Our zippers are also a vintage design, made with brass teeth and a brass semi-lock zip. The tape used on this zipper is 100% cotton. It’s a shuttle loom woven herringbone twill, this weaving process is slow and is an accurate reproduction of materials used in the late 40's and 50’s. Our waist label is made in a similar manner utilizing a single needle shuttle weave.
Herringbone twill was used to construct the inner waistband and all pockets. It was used as a binding tape on the outer front pocket openings, all along the inner side seams, as well as the interior button fly to achieve a fully clean and beautiful pair of trousers inside and out.
