Drake's by A. Levine Black Cotton Games Trousers
Drake's made these trousers with A. Levine in a heavy black cotton twill woven in Yorkshire, and they were sewn in Italy as a limited edition. The shape draws on mid-century workwear and casual tailoring. The rise is high and the waist sits just above the hip, with a single pleat, a full leg that tapers gently below the knee, side adjusters next to the belt loops, and a concealed fob pocket at the back. They can be worn on their own or with the matching jacket as an informal two-piece.

Di Sondrio Black Stretch Chino
We picked a solid black cotton twill from Tessuti di Sondrio because it comes closest to the colour and diagonal weave of the original, and it is fairly heavy. It has a small amount of elastane, which stays within our tolerance for stretch. We kept the single pleat, the zip fly, the belt loops and the dark horn buttons. Proper Cloth's chino pattern has no side adjusters and no concealed fob pocket, so we used belt loops only, a standard coin pocket and an angled flap pocket on the back.
A solid black twill from Tessuti di Sondrio, an Italian mill. It is mostly cotton with 2% elastane, sits at the heavier end of medium weight, and is made for wear through the year. The cotton gives it a smooth, firm body and the elastane adds some give.
