These Siza trousers are crafted from a gold-toned silk and linen fabric. Woven in Vaiano, Tuscany, this silk and linen twill in a subtly golden honey beige draws direct inspiration from the wardrobe of The Great Gatsby, as portrayed by Robert Redford: elegant and radiant, yet never garish. The colour is light, yet not overly so: a discreet, warm gold that dresses without overwhelming. Its texture is a dialogue between two materials: the silky softness on the surface, the rustic honesty of the linen beneath. The drape is remarkably supple, almost unexpected for a suit, and it is noticeably light to wear. Here is yet another rare quality dear to Hollington, for a man seeking to navigate a summer wedding with grace and ease.
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.
