Green Cotton Corduroy Games Trousers

Drake's cut these trousers as the partner to its Games Blazer, so that the two can be worn together as a loose, informal suit that sits between tailoring and workwear. The shape looks back to the middle of the last century: a high rise finishing 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 add a practical note. They are made in Italy and meant for everyday wear in most seasons and settings.

Stratton Fatigue Stretch Corduroy

We chose a solid fatigue green corduroy to come as close as we could to the dark olive of the original, accepting a cloth with a little stretch in it. We matched the single pleats, zip fly with button fastening, belt loops, horn buttons and plain hem. Proper Cloth offers no side adjusters, so we used belt loops with a button-through tab instead. The original's concealed fob pocket became a standard coin pocket, and its slanted pockets became side seam pockets.

A 13-wale cotton corduroy woven in Spain, 98% cotton with 2% elastane, weighing 345 g. It has a soft, velvety pile in a deep fatigue green and gives slightly with movement. It suits autumn and winter wear.
