Smart Casual Trousers Mens UK | Smart Trousers For Men

Quality materials: Cotton and Cotton plus Elastane for Fit

If you want a pair of smart casual trousers, where we emphasise the word “smart” then the quality of the cloth and other materials is really important.

We source our fabrics from Yorkshire mill Brisbane Moss. Our moleskin trousers are 100% cotton with natural stretch, while our corduroy and twill are 97% cotton with 3% elastane. We cannot emphasise enough how the natural stretch or 3% elastane improves the daily wear ability of our trousers. They stretch in just the right places and make our trousers exceptionally comfortable to wear.

Further there is no drawback in the quality of the fabrics which are just as luxurious as any 100% cotton alternative.

The quality of materials does not stop at the cloth. We also give special attention to the buttons, zip and interior pocket lining. In each case we spare no expense in using the very best including real buffalo horn buttons and the finest shirting fabrics for the interior pockets.

Design process and manufacturing

For trousers to be smart casual it is important they include key tailoring features:

Front slanted pockets

Rear double welt pockets with button fastened pocket flap

Front fly with zip

Belt loops

Of the four above, the last three have particular relevance when considering a pair of smart casual trousers.

The first is the belt loops which is an alternative to side adjusters. Side adjusters should be reserved for only formal attire and not smart casual. Secondly the front fly should be zip and not buttoned. Buttoned is generally reserved for more casual trousers and jeans.

Thirdly is the rear double welt pocket with pocket flap. The pocket flap certainly fits the smart casual bill perfectly and is less formal than just a double or single welt rear pocket. However the pocket flap is more than just a design feature. It also has an important role in maintaining the integrity of the rear pockets and stops them from sagging. The pocket flap should always be fastened during the washing and hanging of your trousers. On occasions you can always tuck the pocket flap into the pocket lining for events should you want to create a more formal finish to your trousers.

All our trousers are hand cut and made to order at our factory Suffolk, England. Our experienced tailors and seamstresses combine traditional British tailoring with a mixture of old and modern machinery to create the very best trousers money can buy. Our production process includes a number of extra steps with many seams being sewn up to three times to ensure they will never fail.

Colour & cloth for your smart casual trousers

It is really important to never underestimate the importance of colour choices when selecting a pair of smart casual trousers for men. Darker shades like black and brown naturally instil an extra level of formality to the outfit. Lighter shades like beige and stone are more casual and can be worn for a much wider range of occasions.

The cloth is also an important consideration. Our twill cloth for our chinos is perfect for both smart and formal occasions while the moleskin is more casual in nature. The corduroy sits somewhere between the two.

Fit

When buying new trousers, jeans or chinos the most important aspect for most men will be the fit which can often prove difficult. We are all different shapes and sizes and yet the selection available today is often restricted to a limited number of waist and inside leg options.

Sharing men’s frustrations we decided to launch create your own chinos back in 2018 and today offer the same first class service for our corduroy and moleskin trousers and jeans. This online service is as close to made to measure and offers over 200 unique combinations per colour.

Simply follow four steps to find the perfect fitting trousers today.

Step 1: Select your trouser colour

The first stage is selecting colour. In the case of our chinos you can choose from 11 different colours including classic French Navy to tan colour trousers like beige or stone. We have a similar selection of colours to choose from for our corduroy trousers and five traditional colours for our moleskin trousers.

Step 2: Measure Your Waist. This is vital for fit

This is without doubt the most important part of the four step process and we strongly recommend that you measure your own waist or a pair of trousers that you already own.

Do not assume the size label in your current trousers is accurate as many brands are actively involved in vanity sizing where the size label is smaller than the actual waist size.

Our waist sizes range from 28” up to 46” and include a number of hard to find odd sizes like 33” and 35”.

Step 2: Select inside leg for your trousers.

Like the waist measurements, we offer inside leg lengths from 28” up to 36”.

Step 3: Leg build

The final step to creating your new trousers is selecting the build. We have three options; slim leg, medium leg and classic leg.

For those who want a close fit then slim is the obvious choice. Classic is the most relaxed fit with more room for your calves. The medium leg is the perfect balance between the two and remains our most popular cut.
