• Brand: Gabardines Pantalons.

• Condition: New.
• Material: 100% Italian cotton.
• Fabric: Gabardine – a tightly woven cotton fabric with a clean drape and sufficient durability for regular wear.

• Available sizes: 48 and 50.
• Cut: A straighter silhouette with additional room through the thighs and a gradual taper towards the leg opening.
• Rise: A higher rise that visually lengthens the legs and creates a cleaner transition between the trousers and a shirt or jacket.
• Pleats: Two front pleats providing greater freedom of movement and a refined sartorial character.
• Waist adjustment: Side adjusters allow the waist to be fine-tuned without wearing a belt.
• Fastening: Zip fly.

• Hem: Supplied unfinished to allow the length to be tailored individually.

In my view, the main strength of this model is the combination of a clean sartorial silhouette and the practicality of cotton trousers. The double pleats and higher rise look more refined than standard chinos, yet the trousers remain relaxed enough to wear without a formal suit jacket. The side adjusters also remove the need for a belt and keep the waistline visually clean.

Measurements are taken with the garment laid flat and may vary slightly depending on the measuring method.

Size 48 has an approximate waist circumference of 86 cm, while size 50 measures approximately 90 cm around the waist. The side adjusters provide a small degree of additional adjustment.

The trousers are supplied with unfinished hems, allowing the length to be tailored precisely to the wearer and finished either with a plain hem or traditional turn-ups. For this style, I would personally recommend a clean length with little or no break above the shoe.

The deep navy shade works as a versatile foundation throughout most of the year. For a straightforward smart-casual outfit, combine the trousers with a white or light blue shirt, a knitted polo and brown loafers. A T-shirt, lightweight cardigan or casual jacket creates a more relaxed combination. They also work particularly well with grey, beige and brown jackets.
