Ecru Heavy Cotton Twill Games Trousers

Drake's made these trousers as the partner to its Games Blazer, so the two can be worn together as an informal suit or the trousers worn on their own. The design takes the high-waisted, full-legged shape of mid-century trousers and adds working details: side adjusters next to the belt loops and a fob pocket that buttons shut. A single pleat on each side gives room to move, and the leg narrows slightly below the knee. They are cut from a heavy Yorkshire cotton twill, made in Italy, and intended for wear throughout the year.

Di Sondrio Off White Stretch Cotton Chino

We chose a pale cotton twill from Tessuti di Sondrio because it is close to the original's light ecru shade and has a clear diagonal weave. We kept the main features: single pleats, side seam pockets, a zip fly with button fastening, belt loops and horn buttons. Proper Cloth's chino has no side adjusters and no concealed fob pocket, so we used a button-through tab at the waist and an angled flap pocket at the back. The cloth also has a little elastane and is somewhat lighter than the original.

An off-white cotton twill from Tessuti di Sondrio, a mill in the Italian Alps, made of 98% cotton and 2% elastane. It is a medium-heavy cloth with a smooth, firm surface and some stretch, and it is suited to wear in all seasons.
