FAQs

Are these trousers true to size?

The trousers are cut to a standard tailored fit. We recommend consulting the size guide based on your specific UK dress size to ensure the most accurate fit.

Can I wash these in a machine?

Due to the silk-blend composition, professional dry cleaning is recommended to avoid shrinkage or fabric damage.

Are these suitable for summer wear?

Yes, the breathable silk-blend fabric makes them versatile across seasons, though they are specifically designed for a structured, professional aesthetic.

How long are these trousers?

These trousers have an approximate length of 108cm, designed to provide a full-length finish for most average heights.

Do they wrinkle easily?

The compact stretch fabric is specifically chosen to resist excessive creasing compared to standard woven fabrics, making them ideal for long days.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears wrinkled after storage

Use a garment steamer on a low, delicate setting to gently release wrinkles without applying direct heat to the fabric.

Loss of shape in the knee area after long wear

Allow the garment to rest for 24 hours on a hanger, which typically allows the high-quality stretch fibers to recover their original structure.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trousers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Given the inclusion of silk, it is recommended to follow the specific garment care label instructions strictly. Generally, professional dry cleaning is the safest method to preserve the fabric's luster and the garment's tailored structure. Avoid aggressive machine washing or high-heat tumble drying, as these can damage the delicate fibers and compromise the stretch technology. For storage, hang the trousers on a contoured hanger to maintain the shape of the waistband and the drape of the legs.
