Closet Core Patterns-Mitchell Trousers

MITCHELL TROUSERS 

Inspired by a genius songwriter with timeless style, Mitchell is a modern twist on a classic pleated trouser. Elegant and comfortable with very special details, they are destined to become your new favourite bottoms.

The Mitchell Trousers are high-waisted with a fly front zipper and a comfy hidden waistband facing for a sleek continuous silhouette through the rise; choose between a hidden pants hook and bar or classic button closure.

Deep pleats in the front enclose a unique angled pocket. Darts shape the back, with optional back welt pockets. View A features a tapered leg ending at the ankle. View B features a full-length wide leg and adjustable waist straps secured with D-rings or sliders.

Size Range : 0-20

Recommended Fabrics:

For a structured look, use sturdy woven fabrics like light to midweight denim, twill and canvas, and midweight linen, cotton, and wool suiting. For a softer effect, choose midweight fabrics with drape, such as tencel twill, wool crepe, or silk noil.
