We start with the trousers because they set the line of everything above them. The right break, the right drape, the right shape — that's what makes an outfit work. We think about fit first, and let the cloth do what it does best.

The Cloth

We choose cloth for how it hangs, moves= or how it holds it's shape.

The Glossary

A guide to the language of the leg.

Cut

Straight

The classic vertical line. Falls from the hip without tapering or flaring. Ours is WL-01.

Cut

Barrel

Curves out at the thigh, then back in toward the hem — a soft, rounded line. Ours is WL-02.

Cut

Tapered

Follows the leg down, narrowing toward the ankle for a sharper, more formal finish.

Width

Wide

Loose and full from the hip down, still falling straight. The dotted line shows a regular leg for scale.

Width

Extra-wide

Maximum volume — a fluid, dramatic leg that still falls straight, not flared. Ours is WL-04.

Length

Full

Reaches the shoe, with a small fold — the break — where they meet. How ours are cut.

Length

Ankle

Stops at the ankle bone. Clean, shows a little leg.

Fit Signals

What actually happens when trousers don’t sit right.

Waist gaping

The trousers fit your hips but leave a gap at the back of the waist. This usually means the waistband is cut too straight for your waist-to-hip curve. The solution isn’t sizing down — it’s shaping the waistband (darts or contouring).

Crotch drag lines

Diagonal lines pulling from the crotch area. This happens when the rise (the distance from waistband to crotch seam) is too short for your body. It’s not a size issue — it means the trousers are not built for your proportions.

Tight thigh, loose waist

The thigh feels restrictive while the waist still sits loose. This signals a mismatch between your leg shape and a standard trouser block. You don’t need a bigger size — you need a different cut.
