with the cloth.

Smooth & understated

Poplin

A tightly woven cloth with a fine, even surface. Prime Poplin has a crisp, polished appearance; Washed Poplin brings a more relaxed character to the same everyday staple.

An everyday favorite

Khaki & twill

Khaki describes a trouser tradition as much as a color. This collection brings together dress khakis, washed styles, and twills with their subtle diagonal weave.

Drape, texture & depth

Wool & wool blends

Wool takes on many characters: the smooth finish of gabardine, the soft surface of flannel, and the detail of a woven check or plaid. Our selection includes wool and wool-blend styles.

Naturally relaxed

Linen

Linen has a distinctive texture and an easy drape. Its natural creasing is part of its character, lending trousers and shorts a relaxed, lived-in appearance.

A Southern classic

Seersucker

Seersucker is known for its puckered surface, with raised and smooth areas woven into the cloth. Stripes, two-tone designs, and prints bring a fresh take to this warm-weather favorite.

Rich, ribbed texture

Corduroy

Corduroy’s raised ribs are called wales. A lower wale count creates broader ribs; a higher count gives a finer texture. Both bring depth and a casual character to a trouser wardrobe.

Microfiber & micro/poly

These fabrics combine polyester with other fibers. The blend and weave shape the finished cloth, from its texture to its drape. See each style for its exact composition and care.
