HAND DRAWN OXFORD BAGS (calico)
Wonderfully wide strides in gorgeous soft cream calico. Calico has been used for centuries by designers for their initial prototype ‘toiles’. Buttons, designs, embroidery, stitching is all marked and altered on the toile with pencil or pen. This collection celebrates the tailoring and design process by promoting this hand drawn prototype as the finished article. There is something so beautiful about the simple marked up cream cloth. A drawing come to life. These beauties, inspired by men’s Oxford Bags of the 1930’s are very wide legged but nicely tailored around the the high waist. Two flat inverted box pleats at the front with a discreet side zip have all been designed to avoid the unflattering puff that some pleated trousers give around the middle. Smart darts for a trim bum at the back.
Trousers come with stitched turn-ups and a hand-drawn belt. Trompe-l’oeil buckle and clever poppers/snaps masquerading as belt holes allow the waist to be a little adjustable.
Hand Drawn Oxford Bags come in two sizes and one length. XS/S and M/L. I like to wear them long with a ruckle over the shoe, but they work equally well a little shorter to reveal your cool sneaks. When looking at measurements, be sure to measure yourself from your true waist. This is usually just above your tummy button.
XS/S: Waist 75cm/29” (can be cinched in with belt) Length 109cm/43”
M/L: Waist 85cm/33” (can be cinched in with belt) Length 109cm/43”
