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

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 !

Amazing trousers!

I love these trousers! Fit like a dream and drape so nicely. Got lots of compliments at work! Absolutely need more colors. ❤️

Hepburn Pleated Trousers

Beautifully cut, my trousers were a little long, but I can have them altered, like most of my trousers. Love the colour and the material makes them hang well. Love my 1940s Hepburn trousers.

Classic, fab quality.

Tight fit around the waist. Should have sized up. Aubergine is burgundy as it looks in the pictures.

Thank you for your lovely review Kristin! Our Aubergine colourway has a much stronger purple tone than burgundy/red. Please drop us an email regarding the waist fit so we can investigate this for you - this style should fit true to our size guide❤️
