Outfit Ideas

A splendid new addition to our 40s separates collection - these fabulous new trousers are an authentic rework of an original 1940s trousers pattern adapted for the modern figure and in modern fabric.

We have selected a new heavier crepe for these trousers - you will really appreciate the quality. Inspired by chic Hollywood icon - Katherine Hepburn - who rocked the trouser suit in the 1940s.

Packed with features, this style has a wide leg with turn-up, a high waist band, side zip and fastens with a single shell-look button. The wide leg is approx. 22 inches circumference. Deep pleat on the front runs into a strong and slimming crease. Style also has 2 darts on the back. Topped off with contrast top stitching - this is a fantastic and authentic style.

Key 40s features:-
- wide leg
- natural waist fit with deep waist band
- turn up
- side zip with shell-look button
- deep front pleat
- contrast top stitching on pockets & waistband
- 400gsm weight crepe fabric for beautiful drape

Fits on the natural waist with a wide waist band. So comfy.

Very wide leg style is great for dancing and was very typical in the 30s & 40s during the rise of sports casual styles.

Leg length: 32" (approx. 31.5 inside seam and 0.5 into rise)

Fabric: Top quality rayon/poly with a touch of elastane for stretch
Care: Cool hand wash

Manufactured in the UK

Long but comfortable

Everything but the length was perfect. I measured myself per the instructions and the pants fit fine.
The length is just too long. I don’t think I missed a petite option and I knew I would have to hem them. Therefore if you guys really want my opinion.., please make them easier to hem. Maybe sell them unfinished if a petite length isn’t an option?
I’ll try to include a photo if I have time in the next few weeks.

Steel color

This steel color is STUNNING! It's such a versatile color in my wardrobe. I love these trousers so much. The only thing is being 5'1 they are too long, so I will have to get them hemmed. Would be great if HoF started making shorter trousers for petite ladies :)

Beautiful in smaller sizes.

I bought these in Berry and found they didn't suit my fuller figure.

Lovely Trousers, colour not right for me

These trousers are lovely, with a slight stretch and they feel like luxury. Very well made and they have a nice fit. My only issue with them is I wanted an aubergine colour, more purple than brown as I was matching to a jacket I already own. It's surprisingly hard to find a nice aubergine pair of trousers... Anyway, it looks much redder/browner than I'd have liked it to be. Colour is always a bit of a gamble when buying online, so can't really fault anyone except myself on this as I had read another review saying much the same thing and I went ahead anyway hoping for the best. So bottom line: lovely, well made, but just be aware if you want a purple aubergine, that this is not it. I will be keeping them anyway as they have an amazing fit and it goes very well with cream or dusty/rose pink tops. Very happy I stumbled upon this shop and will most likely be revisiting.

Elegant tailoring

These trousers have all the great details and tailoring of elegant vintage style. The fabric has a lovely weight and drape, with an authentic feel too. I want them in every colour !
