Flecked Grey Tapered Pants 'Sunago'

Flecked grey herringbone trousers tapered to a ribbed ankle, with a tasselled cord

The cloth on these trousers is a herringbone, flecked grey and charcoal, woven so the chevrons show from close and the surface reads as a warm heather from across a room. They are cut relaxed through the thigh and tapered to a ribbed ankle, with a soft waist and a drawstring finished in two cords with green-and-white tassels, which is the one detail on them.

It is the pair in the collection that looks most like it came from a tailor and behaves most like it came from a gym, and the herringbone is the reason.

The name, Sunago, is sand grain, the fleck in the weave, and the trousers are covered in it.

The cut is a relaxed taper with a ribbed cuff, sitting at the waist on a drawstring, with room through the thigh and a narrow ankle. The cloth is a heathered polyester-cotton blend woven in herringbone, with a soft brushed hand, chosen because a woven pattern gives a plain trouser depth and because a brushed cloth is the one for October. The tassels are cotton cord.

Wear them with a plain tee and trainers, as in the photograph, or with a knit and boots in the cold. They go with white, black, grey and any jacket in the range, and they do not need a belt unless you want one.

They wash cold, inside out, and dry on a line; the cloth does not crease into a map and does not need an iron, which is the point of a trouser cut for a street rather than an office.

From across a street they are grey trousers with a tassel. From close the herringbone shows its chevrons and the fleck its two greys, and the cuff its rib. They are the pair for the person who wants a jogger that could go to lunch.

The waist is a flat elastic under the drawstring, so the tassels are decoration and the trousers stay up on their own. The rib at the ankle is a knit, sewn to the woven cloth, and it is the same grey as the fleck.

It goes with a grey knit in October and a white tee in May, which is a wider season than most trousers manage, and the tassels can be tucked in if the day is a serious one.

Sizes run from M to 5XL. It is cut to Asian sizing and runs small, so take one size up from your usual. Between two sizes, take the larger.
