Part of our new 'Marlene' androgynous 1930s separates collection - these stunning new tailored style trousers were a labour of love. 

Produced in a sumptuous wool chalk stripe stripe from iconic Yorkshire Mill - Abraham Moons.

Inspired by Marlene Dietrich's iconic and daring masculine look in the 1930s, these are based on peg trousers from our brother Cousin Jack and have been adapted for the feminine figure. You will not find details like this in a normal trouser and we are thrilled with the result. We are sure you will be too!

Note the high waist with integrated belt feed through loops which you can use any slim belt with. Also has two side pockets. Deep front pleats and wide leg with turn up. Pair with the marlene waistcoat or any of our blouses or knitwear.

The wide leg is approx 21 inches circumference. Deep pleat on the front runs into a strong and slimming crease. 

Key 40s features:-
- wide leg
- high waist fit
- front zip with inner button fastening
- deep front pleats
- part lined
- turn up
- two side pockets 

Inside leg - labelled 32" (measures 31" from gusset)

Fabric: 100% merino wool - lined in in acetate with cotton trims
Colour: please note it is very difficult to represent colour accurately - this is charcoal grey base with light tone chalk stripe

Manufactured in the UK

Great fit

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.

Excellent, soft fabric, not itchy at all.

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.

they fit beautifully!

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!

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!)
