Olive Seersucker Games Trousers

Drake's games trousers take their shape from mid-century sporting and casual trousers, with a high rise that sits just above the hip and a full leg that narrows gently below the knee. Single pleats give room through the seat and thigh, and side adjusters, belt loops and a concealed fob pocket keep the trouser practical. This olive version is cut in Italy from a lightweight cotton seersucker woven near Milan, and is made to be worn on its own or with the matching jacket as an informal two-piece.

Di Sondrio Pine Stretch Chinos

We looked for a solid green cotton close to the olive of the original and chose a pine green twill from Tessuti di Sondrio, as no comparable seersucker suited the brief. We set single pleats, belt loops, a button and zip fly and horn buttons to match the original's working details. Proper Cloth offers no side adjusters, so the waist relies on belt loops alone, and the fob and flapped back pocket are approximated with a standard coin pocket and an angled flap back pocket.

A pine green cotton twill woven by Tessuti di Sondrio in northern Italy, with 2% elastane for a little give. It is a medium heavyweight, smooth and firm in the hand, and suited to wear through most of the year.
