In short
The black wool and silk trousers impress with their fluid drape and meticulous cut. Crafted from an 83% wool, 17% silk twill (250 g/m²) by Zignone, they combine comfort, structure, and understated sheen. A 4.5 cm cuff, single outward pleat, slanted Italian pockets, and grey horn-style buttons underscore their elegance, while 5 mm AMF stitching on the pockets attests to impeccable tailoring.
The Fabric
The draper
Zignone, a renowned Italian mill, upholds exceptional textile expertise by blending tradition with innovation. Its mastery in working with noble blends is showcased here in a deep black twill enriched with the natural luminosity of silk. This fabric, both durable and fluid, ensures a clean, elegant drape suited to formal outfits and refined separates alike.
The composition
83% wool, 17% silk. Wool offers warmth, breathability, and natural elasticity, while silk contributes softness, fluidity, and subtle sheen. The twill weave adds a lightweight yet structured feel, guaranteeing comfort and shape retention throughout the day. Perfect for mid-season or winter, these trousers offer versatility that makes them a lasting wardrobe ally.
The color
The blend of black and anthracite grey fibers is enhanced by a discreet sheen from the silk content. This slightly lustrous effect enriches the twill texture and integrates harmoniously into both formal palettes and more contrasting pairings.
Details
The fit
The slightly high waist and single outward pleat create a streamlined yet comfortable silhouette. The pleat subtly broadens the thigh for ease without compromising the elegance of the line.
Waistband with extended tab closure
The 6 cm-wide waistband is a distinctive feature inspired by vintage tailoring cuts. Its offset two-button closure adds originality while subtly defining the waist. Side adjusters allow a perfect fit without the need for a belt.
The hem
The 5 cm cuff at the hem adds weight and structure to the trousers, ensuring a flawless drape. This refined detail emphasizes the cut’s elegance and balances the proportions of the silhouette.
Italian pockets
The slanted front Italian pockets are a hallmark of fine tailoring. Elegant and discreet, they allow hands to slip in easily while maintaining a clean line.
