Authenticity of style (and construction) is essential when building a bottom that will stand the test of time. Knee pleats are such a detail. It costs more to construct in this manner, every crease being agreeably aligned, folded, and positioned. But this little nuance places fullness where the action happens and prevents stress in an area where fabric can often break. Our bottoms are well loved for a reason, every aspect painstakingly considered and refined since our 2007 inception.
