Customers praised these 1930s-style trousers for exceptional quality, with one seamstress rating them "10/10" for fabric and construction. The soft lambswool is "not itchy at all" and features quality lining. Shoppers found them "flattering and well made" with excellent tailoring that hides the front zipper. Most needed hemming for shorter heights.
- I'd mark these 10/10. They cost more that I'd usually pay but they're worth it.
- Excellent, soft fabric, not itchy at all. Feels fabulous on.
- They fit beautifully! The lambswool is top quality and the upper lining is very much appreciated.
LOVE these trousers, super comfortable and they look smart with a number of short vintage jackets that I have, I also recently wore them in a photoshoot 😃
I haven't owned a pair of trousers for over a decade, I'm more of a dress kind of girl. I'd searched for ages for a pair that suited me and at last I've found them! I'm a seamstress myself and really notice quality of fabric and construction. I'd mark these 10/10. They cost more that I'd usually pay but they're worth it. I'll defiantly be investing in more of House of Foxy.
Lovely trousers but I do think they run a little small!
Excellent style and workmanship- love the pinstripes.
Excellent style, color, and workmanship.
Excellent style and workmanship.
I ordered these as a Christmas gift and they are beautiful. High quality fabric and construction. Highly recommend!
Love these gorgeous- very elegant.
They look exactly like the picture and are of really good quality. I've had loads of compliments on them.
Will definitely order from here again as I also feel better supporting local businesses that provide long lasting products.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you're happy with your purchase and that it's received so many compliments. Supporting local businesses means the world to us, and we’re glad to know our products are making a positive impression. We look forward to serving you again soon! Is there anything we could have done differently to make this a 5* moment?
The quality of these trousers is excellent and they look great but do be careful with sizing before ordering. I’m usually a 10/12 and bought the 12 but the waist was tiny! I returned them and bought the 14 which I’m really happy with. Highly recommended despite the snug waist on the smaller size.
Beautiful tailored trousers.
Lovely trousers, but a bit short, I am 5tf 9in and they had to be taken down.
These are very nice trousers. They only reason I knocked off a star is that they fit smaller than the other trousers I have from HoF and are shorter in the rise. I wish I had sized up. Also, the flap that goes over the zipper sticks out a bit since there is no button. But I love that they're wool. Very nice overall.
I am in love with these trousers, they are exquisite! Impeccably tailored, great quality and they drape beautifully. The style is unique and I love the hidden belt loops. I think they are great value for money for the quality and look much better than anything on the high street at a similar price point. Size 10 is my usual size for trousers and these fit perfectly.
This is my first purchase from THOF and I’m excited to buy more products now…already got my eye on some of the knitwear.
the quality is as always perfect. the fabric has beautiful drape and feel.
Classic vintage look. Beautiful quality fabric and tailoring. Definitely channelling my inner Marlene in these!
I like this twill fabric very much as it seams more durable than the wool fabrics and more fitting 'for not-winter' ;-). The brown tone is very versatile and goes together with so many other colours. The only thing I would change is the lining, please make it longer. It is ending at the thickest part of my thigh and thats not so comfortable.
First I only bought one pair. But I liked them so much that I had to get two mere pairs, so I wouldn’t wear the first pair out quickly.
Absolutely beautiful trousers, well made, and long enough for someone who hovers between a standard and a long leg usually. I've had to order a size up though. I'm consistently a UK size 12 in all jeans and trousers (size 12 hips, size 10 waist), but the 12 were too small in this style. The size guide IS correct (I didn't check it before) so measure yourself and don't just go with your usual size.
So flattering and well made!
I purchased this in a uk 16 for a 33 inch waist/44 inch lower hip and they fit perfectly. I'm thrilled with the fit and the quality and wish that they were available in other all natural fiber colors besides charcoal wool (sad I missed the navy!). I think I might like them better than the Hepburn trousers I have in Moon wool as well, since you get a front closure and less fussy front pleats. I will need to have them hemmed as I don't wear heels, but I don't find that to be an issue.
Well cut waist helps you wear the style as it was meant to be worn. Great detail on cuffs. Feels fabulous on. Going to buy another pair if they keep making them. Also bought the vest, the two pieces look great together. Wearing the duo you look polished not costumed.
I like to try new things and I was very intrigued by these trousers.
Since I'm short I was worried about the crotch being too low or the trousers swallowing me up, but they fit beautifully! I only needed to hem them a bit, but what's new.
I prefer side zippers, but the tailoring is so good you can't even tell the zipper is in front. No unsightly bulges.
The lambswool is top quality and the upper lining is very much appreciated.
I'll wear them with my most feminine blouses. So classy!
Very classy high quality trousers! Just love the chalk stripe fabric made from high quality wool. I think I will order the matching waistcoat to complete the look.
Would be great to longer the linning a bit, but I am very very sensitive to itchy wool (it is not itchy!)
