The trousers shown here is cut in a corduroy with large ribs. This fabric has been woven exclusively for hollington by one of the best experts in Northern Italy for ages. It is a rich and noble material made of cotton and wool (15%). Its weaving technique is close to the one used for workwear. As it includes more threads to make it even warmer and sturdier, it is called ‘Double Velour’. The wool is placed on top of the ribs, so the cloth is both soft and crease-resistant.
Our city trousers with a flat front and high waist are tailored by a Portuguese specialist of dress uniforms and suits. He has been excelling at it for over forty years.
The ankle opening is 22-cm wide, which is very comfortable. The trousers also allow space for calf, tight and hip movements and hug the stomach: one does not feel them while walking. The legs are not hemmed so you can have them fit to your exact size.
The trousers are closed by a button tab and a hook keeping the front part in place. They hold two back pockets, deep and flapped, and two side pockets with a large diagonal opening. Not much fancy here, but a comfortable cut and a traditional manufacturing that makes alterations easier. That’s it for the practical chapter.
As for style, it is a modern interpretation of traditional city trousers. Their waist is reasonably high and fits every morphology, and the flap pockets give contrast to the back side.Heavy fabrics like large-rib corduroy are a perfect match.
