Many of our clients come to us for the khakis we craft. Quite a few live in them, and wear them every single day. We cut khakis from twill, cord, moleskin, flannel, canvas, prints, towelling, velvet and quite a few other fabrics.
We were asked if we could craft shorts for summer, something we have been doing for ourselves for over two decades. But these were not just any pair of shorts. We were asked to make a replica of a pair of 1930s shorts worn by the client's grandfather at his tea plantation "Hopton" in Ceylon: double pleated, high rise, deep waistband, side adjusters and generous legs to aide the air circulation. Our client liked them so much, that he is just shy of a dozen pairs of Hoptons.
This is just one of the many special projects we have brought to life, and have been fortunate to be involved in.
When people say khakis (or chinos) they usually think of a beige cotton summer trouser. For us they are so much more. For summer we make khakis in every colour of the rainbow (and white!) and we also make a few fun print versions as well. We also make them as shorts for a quite a few clients every year.
For fall and winter we have beige cotton as well, in a thicker, heavier weight, but we also offer brushed cotton twill, cavalry twill, moleskin, corduroy, canvas, cotton cashmere, blends with stretch, tweed, flannel, military issue camouflage and many more, in almost every conceivable colour. Some of our clients wear them with a shirt, tie and jacket, others will dress them down with sneakers and a T-shirt. The choice is yours.
If the fabric is washable, we will make the khakis machine washable. The trousers can be ordered with side adjusters or belt loops (in different heights and widths), button or zip fly, choice of pockets in your desired size, choice of interior trims, leg shapes from cigarette trousers to boot cut and everything in between. We have you covered, all made to fit you perfectly.
We can also cut a matching jacket in the same fabric, to make a causal suit. To learn more or book an appointment, please email us at
