Description

The De Bonne Facture Anthracite Prince of Wales Check Cold Wool Grandad Trouser is part of a soft-tailoring collection inspired by the connections between fine art, music, academia, and literature as seen in the style of the most prominent culture creators from the 1950s through the 1970s. With a focus on sustainability and connecting the garment to the landscape, this Grandad Trouser is made from a super-fine 14 oz. Cold Wool Cloth milled in Italy using mulesing-free Merino Wool from ethically raised sheep in Australia and New Zealand. To create a vintage aesthetic with pure provenance, this all-season tailoring cloth balances modern and traditional elements, featuring a tonal charcoal and midnight Prince of Wales Check loomed with high-twist 4-ply yarns that provide durability and drape. Inspired by mid-century trousers with clean dress pocketing and details, the Grandad Trouser comes in a single deep-pleated straight fit, with a high-rise, a roomy top block, and broad thigh that drapes to a wide hem for a tailored, modern take on a suiting separate. With a minimalist design approach inspired by vintage fashion, each element carries thematic consistency and purpose with details like the slant front and welted back pocket, wool cloth and canvas pocket bags, a zipper front fly with a top-buttoned waist, darted yoke, tucked belt loops, and is completed with taped seams, bartack reinforcements, and tailor's construction throughout for easy alterations. Paying homage to French workshop production, this piece is atelier-made in Paris by trouser specialist Atelier Arthur, providing the soul of fine regional craftsmanship. When combined with the authenticity of fully traceable natural materials, the yield is an artisan piece for the contemporary fashion connoisseur. Featuring premium materials and production with a historical approach to a forward-focused look, the Anthracite Prince Of Wales Check Grandad Trouser will add polished execution to any casual luxury ensemble for the office, event, or excursion.
