The cut

Cut high on the waist and full through the leg, with the pleats doing the work rather than the seat.

How it is put together

  • Two forward pleats, pressed but not stitched down, so they open as you sit.
  • Extended waistband tab with a hidden hook.
  • Side-seam pockets cut on the slant, bagged in cotton twill.
  • Unfused waistband interlined with woven canvas.
  • Corozo button at the tab; the fly is a zip, not buttons.
