Made in England, following an original 1930s pattern, The Derwent Slacks are the quintessential addition to your wardrobe.
Made from a stunning 100% linen in Charcoal, The Derwent Slacks are an absolute must.
The cut is directly taken from an original pattern, capturing the elegance and timelessness of early 20th century fashion. We are delighted to expand on our iconic trouser range.
Cut with a high waist and with flattering double forward-facing pleats, the slacks are finished with an authentic button fly, single waist fastening and belt loops.
Also hidden away in the trouser pocket is a 'secret' pocket, with button fastening. Perfect for storing valuables and change.
The slacks are cut to a wide leg, measuring 10 inches wide at the ankle, with a two inch turn up. Available in two finished leg options.
The linen is a perfect compliment for a more casual wardrobe option and for warmer climes.
No detail has been left to chance, with even the buttons being made in England from a natural and eco-friendly material called 'Corozo', otherwise known as 'vegetable ivory'. Corozo is derived from the nut of the Tagua Palm which grows in the equatorial rainforests of central America and Ecuador. As the ‘mococha’ nut falls to earth quite naturally when they are ripe, it means that there is no human harvesting or cutting of any part of the tree to make our buttons, which blissfully lives on regardless to continue growing and producing nuts for years to come.
They take their name from the fifty mile long River Derwent that flows mostly through the Peak District and its foothills. It runs through the town of Belper, the home of Stanley Biggs. If you go upriver, you will come to Derwent Valley Mill in Cromford; the first industrial scale Cotton Mills.
Also available in Desert Khaki colourway, why not check out The Hartington Slacks.
