After Drake’s · Spring/Summer 2025
Olive Irish Linen Single Pleat Trouser
Drake's cut this trouser as the lower half of a summer linen suit. The cloth is Irish linen, woven and dyed in Ireland to the house's own specification, in colours chosen for hot-weather tailoring. The trouser is made in Italy and half lined. It is finished in the tailoring manner, with an extended front tab, a curtained waistband, an internal French bearer and side adjusters where belt loops would usually be. It can be worn with its matching jacket or alone, and it is sent out unhemmed so a tailor can set the length.
In Proper Cloth
Laurel Linen Palermo Pant
We chose a soft plain-weave linen in a faded laurel green because it is the closest to the olive of the original, and its open, slubby surface gives a similar look. We built the cloth into a dress-trouser pattern rather than the drawstring style it is normally sold in, with a single pleat, an extended button-through tab, a zip fly and horn buttons. Proper Cloth's options did not include side adjusters, so the waist has belt loops. The pockets are angled rather than vertical, and the trouser arrives finished with a blind hem.
A 100% linen plain weave woven in Portugal, in a solid, faded laurel green. It is listed as medium weight but has a soft, already-worn hand and stays airy. Like most linen, it creases readily and shows the natural texture of the yarn.
