“THE GABARDINE TROUSER”

bow blouse3

The October pant is the “GABARDINE TROUSER”, A238535. The fabric is my classic Poly/Rayon/Span gaberdine that I have used in many pant styles through the years………This trouser is ….NUMERICALLY SIZED….. This is a zip front pant with a single waist band button. The front of the pant is flat, but the back waist band has a full elastic. Don’t worry about puffing…..the shirring is keep to a minimum…….There are slanted menswear pockets. Since this fabric is thinner than the blue/brown pant from Sept. there should not be a problem of the pant being too small due to the pockets…………………The inseam is 32 inches. Sorry, this pant does not come in a petite…… I would consider this to be a wider leg pant as the bottom opening measures, on the half, 10 inches, as apposed to the slim leg which is approx 7 inches. The pant is unlined, and has a beautiful soft drape……….Some have asked can the leg be made slimmer for those who prefer a slim leg…..the answer is yes. It actually is a very easy alteration, especially since they are unlined…..I do however, try to give you a variety of pant shapes and leg widths……it’s up to you……………….The colors are………………..RUBY………………….LAPIS……………BLACK…………..We tried to match the Lapis and the Ruby to the WK colors, but we could not achieve the saturation of the WK yarn. They are very close, but slightly paler as you can see in the photographs…..for me, totally acceptable…………..A HEADS UP………….when the pant comes up in the show….I will be showing the BLACK pant with the NEW TUXEDO JACKET that will be avail in NOV! Since the TUXEDO will not get air time and will only be sold on line….I thought this would be a good way to show it to you. I however, in real life, would not have put these two items together as the blacks are different…..I am only doing this for YOU…so you can get a sneak peek of the TUXEDO jacket…..Jac will be wearing it. There will be a TUXEDO pant with the satin stripe down the leg to match the jacket, or if you were lucky enough to get the BLACK PANT from Aug. that went with the asymmetrically zipped jacket…..the fabric and color is the same……………..I would strongly suggest that you order your normal Linea NUMERIC size. These are not small nor are they big….they are easy languid trousers………………………….enjoy………………..much Love………………………………….Louis

    Dear Louis,

    Can you do thus pant in white?

    Thanks,
    Dariann

      Not this pant, because it isn’t a lined pant, and that would require a different pattern. In the future I possibly could do this pant, but “they” would want to see how this preforms first.

    Louis the lapis column of color looks dynamite! So curious to see that tuxedo…will the pants be narrow or wide leg?

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Donna….if you are referring to the Tuxedo pant it is more of a slim leg.

        Yes I was Louis, and thank you but I guess this one will have to wait…:-((
