Navy Seersucker Games Trousers

Drake's games trousers come from mid-century sporting and casual dress, cut in a navy cotton seersucker for warm weather. They have a high rise that sits just above the hip, a full leg and a single pleat, with a gentle taper below the knee. Side adjusters, belt loops and a concealed fob pocket on the waistband give them a practical feel. They are made in Italy and are meant to be worn alone or with the matching jacket as an informal two-piece suit.

Navy Linen Palermo Pant

We could not find a navy cotton seersucker among Proper Cloth's options, so we chose a navy pure linen as the nearest warm-weather cloth with a textured surface. Proper Cloth's Palermo pant comes with a drawstring waist as standard, so we set it up as a chino with belt loops, single pleats, a zip fly and horn buttons to follow the original's tailored waist. Side adjusters were not available, so we used a buttoned waistband tab. A standard coin pocket stands in for the concealed fob pocket, and an angled flap back pocket replaces the buttoned rear pockets.

The cloth is a plain-weave linen woven in Portugal, in solid navy and of medium weight. It is soft to the touch and shows the uneven slub of the linen yarn. It breathes well in heat and creases readily with wear.
