Beige-Grey Heavy Flannel Gurkha Trousers

Authentic & Structured Pants

More than just a seasonal piece, these beige-grey (greige) flannel Gurkha trousers embody the balance between comfort and character. Their slightly high waist, signature double Gurkha waistband, and two inward pleats create a confident silhouette while offering generous ease of movement. The natural, versatile greige shade pairs effortlessly with brown, navy, or dark grey jackets, making it suitable for looks ranging from business casual to more formal attire.

Their hallmark? The Gurkha waistband, an iconic detail borrowed from Nepalese military uniforms, reinterpreted here with tailoring finesse. Paired with heavy flannel from Vitale Barberis Canonico, it gives the trousers a strong visual presence and a perfectly straight drape. Ideal for autumn and winter, they adapt seamlessly from the office to a stylish weekend.

In short

The greige Gurkha trousers impress with their clean drape and refined details: double-buckle waistband, slightly high rise, two inward pleats, and a 5 cm cuff. Made from 100% wool flannel by Vitale Barberis Canonico, they offer warmth, structure, and comfort, while mid-brown horn-style buttons and stitching on the pockets attest to their premium finish.

The Fabric

The mill

Vitale Barberis Canonico, a world-renowned wool weaver, has upheld a centuries-old tradition in Biella, combining innovation with artisanal craftsmanship. This heavy 340 g/m² flannel stands out for its soft, brushed texture and straight, structured drape — a guarantee of trousers that keep their line perfectly.

The composition

100% wool. Naturally warm and breathable, the wool in this flannel is distinguished by its soft, lightly brushed finish, achieved through fine napping. It envelops the silhouette while maintaining impeccable structure, ideal for facing the cold seasons with elegance.

The color

Greige — a subtle shade between beige and grey — evokes the authenticity of raw fibers. Bright yet understated, it enhances the flannel’s texture and pairs easily with neutral tones as well as bolder contrasts.

Details

Cut and proportions

The slightly high waist combined with two inward pleats offers a balanced, comfortable silhouette. This configuration adds ease at the thighs without compromising the line, creating a natural drape that remains elegant in any setting.

Gurkha waistband

The defining feature of the model, the double-buckle waistband allows precise adjustment and replaces the classic belt. Inspired by Nepalese military cuts, it adds character and distinction while blending seamlessly into the tailored construction.

Finishing and visual balance

The 5 cm cuff at the hem adds weight for a perfectly straight drape, reinforcing the silhouette’s verticality. Side-seam front pockets ensure both functionality and discretion, complementing the piece’s clean, streamlined aesthetic.
