Ecru Wool Gabardine Trousers

Not many fabrics can match the versatility of gabardine for year-round trousers, both in terms of appearance and practicality. However, finding a proper one nowadays isn't easy - until our extensive searches led us to Japan and its few specialized woolen mills. There, we found the perfect mid-weight, densely-woven twill with a "vintage" finish that gives the fabric a matte, springy texture and resistance to creasing.

Back in Poland, we decided to cut tailored trousers from it, just in time for the transitional season - perfect for that odd period of the year when it's already a bit too warm for flannels but not hot enough for tropical wools. For the cut, we opted for the classic mid-to-high rise, single-pleated, belt-loop-equipped style, finished off with turn-ups. Compared to trousers from previous seasons, we've added a bit of volume throughout the whole leg for a more comfortable, relaxed fit.

Our gabardine trousers work well with sport coats, shirts, and ties for a tailored look, as well as jacket-off, knitwear "casual chic" ensembles. The pair in sand is as versatile as beige chinos, only slightly more sophisticated and directional - so enjoy them with a wide range of styles, from Ivy League looks to modern versions of 70s playboy attire. Wear them with blazers and checked sportcoats, or thin merino knits, rugby shirts, and fuzzier Shetland sweaters… Basically whatever you want on the particular day should work!
