SIZE

Eugène Le Moult had our original TROUSERS made to wear in the jungle¹; always ready to sprint towards a butterfly, and away from a jaguar! Elegant yet comfortable, it can be worn in bed and out-and-about. For comfort the waist of the trousers has elastics on both sides but none in the front nor at the back.

¹ he'd spend days and nights in the Amazon rainforest, solely in the company of convicts
