The Fox flannels come in 3 colourways, ecru, mid grey and charcoal. With the charcoal being available in 2 different weights.
World famous cloth Merchant Fox Brothers were looking to create a trouser that was made in Britain and inspired by Savile Row giving the wearer an authentically handcrafted product.
Known for my passion and adaptable making style as well as being an expert in creating pieces of any design, to suit both tailored or casual settings they were swiftly pointed in my direction. As a true artisan I wanted to showcase my clean and precision lead style of making within these pairs.
Having worked previously with the team at Fox developing and producing initial small runs of luxury, detail heavy trousers to celebrate 250 years of fox flannel.
Following on from the success of the anniversary trousers I was thrilled to continue working alongside Fox, sampling away to create a new exclusive product. With these trousers I was truly able to represent myself as a maker and the ethos of my studio, highlighting my love for traditional techniques with a clean modern finish. As well as showcasing my Savile Row background they include fine hand stitching on the exterior that sit along side a robust interior a combination developed by myself specifically for this amazing project, making these trousers a true hybrid of bespoke craft and ready to wear style.
I worked closely with Bespoke pattern cutting consultant Riki Brockman to ensure the perfect balance with the cut and styling. Riki cut his teeth at Gieves and Hawkes and won the prestigious Golden Shears award during his apprenticeship. As a good friend we’ve worked together on many projects over the years meaning he was perfectly placed to consult on this one.
These bespoke-quality trousers are self-supporting, cut full in the thigh and high in the waist with a natural taper. Supremely comfortable to wear and can be worn with anything from a polo shirt to a traditional blue blazer.
Each pair has been individually and personally cut by myself before being made up and finished by me and my team of talented makers and highly skilled hand finishers.
Characteristics include handmade bar tacks and buttonholes, prick stitched pocket openings and fly. Additionally there are hip straps felled on by hand, which are situated half on and half off the waistband for enhanced comfort, as is our house preference, along with real horn buttons for an exquisite finish.
