AK MC CONTEMPORARY GURKHA TROUSERS CAFÉ AU LAIT

$ 190

For many years now, Gurkha trousers have been a favorite of rakish men around the world. Named after fearsome Indian and Nepalese warriors who were recruited into the British Army from the 19th century onwards, these trousers usually feature a high waist, a wide waistband, double pleats and double fasteners. While their aesthetic is certainly striking and often supremely elegant, Alexander Kraft personally found the traditional closing mechanism with opposite buckles rather cumbersome; at the same time, he has always preferred the clean look of flat front trousers. So he decided to create a contemporary version of the Gurkha that featured the clean, flat front look of his Riviera model but added a slightly enlarged waistband, while also lengthening the front buckle. Thus, he combined the best of all worlds: The Gurkha-inspired waistband and fastener, with the clean look and ease-of-use of normal trousers. As usual, the trousers feature side adjusters. Produced from an Italian high-quality cotton in an elegant yet versatile café au lait colour, these trousers are sure to appeal to connoisseurs around the world.​
