A good pair of trousers should feel right from the moment you put them on and continue to work with you throughout the day.
Richard Harvie looks at the three areas that define a well-fitting pair: how they sit at the waist, how they fall through the leg and where they finish at the hem.
The waist should feel secure without restricting movement. Through the thigh and leg, there should be enough room to sit and move comfortably, without the cloth pulling or feeling overly close. A simple sit-down test can often reveal whether the fit is right.
The final detail is the length. Whether you prefer a light break, a cleaner finish or a turn-up, the trouser should feel balanced and suit both the cloth and the way it will be worn.
Across our collection, from formal wool trousers and suit separates to chinos, linen and seasonal styles, the same principle applies: comfort, proportion and a clean overall line.
Where appropriate, our team can also make adjustments to the shape, length or finish to help achieve the right result.
