This siza fitted trousers 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.
Behind its clean lines, the Siza trousers are a small masterpiece of textile design. Crafted in Portugal by a tailoring specialist with over four decades of expertise, they have all the makings of a true classic.
Their cut is a plunging cut i.e., higher behind than in front —a clever tailoring trick that avoids the dreaded “plumber’s smile” often seen in non-high-rise trousers. It also improves comfort and helps the trousers stay in place on the hips. The traditional construction makes it easy to alter the waist if needed.
The trousers close with a triple button fastening. This may seem tedious, but you can be sure that they will stay in place. Add to that six sturdy belt loops to keep your belt secure.
With a 19 cm leg opening, they’re easy to slip on while flattering the leg’s natural line. Areas prone to friction on the inner leg are reinforced with cotton binding, and the wool version is half-lined to the thigh for extra softness and structure.
A buttoned double-welt back pocket keeps your valuables safe, while the slanted side pockets are generously sized to fit larger hands. In total: three well-thought-out pockets to carry your essentials. In short, the Siza trousers combine the sharpness of a slim cut with the comfort of a traditional design.
