Gardener Trousers | Blue Gingham Linen-wool Blend
£160.00
A loose, wide-leg trouser with a high, pleated waist. The front pleats double as belt loops, a small detail that took a lot of fitting to get right. Two side pockets and one back pocket. Made in a linen-wool blend, breathable and warm in equal measure, combining linen’s lightness with wool’s insulation, that softens and resists creasing with wear.
Redwan wanted one trouser the shop could remake over and over: comfortable, modest, roomy enough to move in. The first attempt was a drop-crotch shalwar. It didn’t catch on.
The real design came later, after Redwan met a gardener at the local Mosque wearing a pair of trousers he’d owned for thirty years, bought at a car-boot sale and never replaced. Redwan asked if he could copy them. The gardener agreed, on the condition Redwan make him a couple of new pairs in return.
A neighbour, a pattern cutter, took six months to draft it. From there, our tailor Kamali took over in his workshop in Bow, and has been making it ever since. We’ve made close to a thousand pairs in this cut.
This blend combines linen and wool, taking the breathability and light weight of linen with the warmth and structure of wool. It’s more versatile across seasons than either fibre alone, cool enough for milder days, warm enough to layer under on colder ones. It softens with wear and resists creasing better than linen alone.
Loose, wide-leg fit | High-waisted (women) or natural waist (men) | Pleated front, pleats double as belt loops | Two side pockets, one back pocket | Adjustable button side tabs
