Description

The French Work Trouser by MotivMfg x Division Road is a high-rise, single-pleated pant with a roomy top block and thigh that tapers to a moderate hem and a clean break. This tailored, modern take on straight-leg workwear trousers from the early 20th century is perfectly balanced in design to be a wardrobe staple for an Original Gentleman. This trouser is made in the luxurious and technical Optim™ Wool developed and produced by Woolmark® as a wind, wrinkle, and water-resistant suiting grade woolen with a light all-season weight and a dense, structured drape. This 8 oz. Optim Wool Gabardine uses undyed 100% Merino wool fibers that have been stretched in spinning and shrunken in wet-finishing for a smooth twill weave that highlights and enhances the wool's natural tonal color texture, weather resistance, breathability, temperature regulation, and durability. Paying homage to the original with a finished sophistication, this trouser is designed with a single knife pleat for optimal fit and drape. It is given a clean button front with large tacked belt loops that serve as vintage elements with modern refinement. The French Work Trouser is packed with superior bespoke and old-world detailing like slant front pockets, workwear-inspired patch back pockets, a darted back yoke, zigzag bartack reinforcements throughout, and custom genuine ebony horn buttons with a unique matte finish. MotivMfg has re-established a pattern-to-bespoke garment, one-roof workshop in Beijing with the ethos, process, techniques, and materials of Savile Row to produce historically informed garments in styles and production methods lost by the West. We are honored to partner with MotivMfg to offer exclusive collaborations for a new and timeless uniform for the Division Road Army.
