High Waist Shirred Waistband Wide Leg Cotton Pants
Full-length wide-leg trousers in cotton, with a deep shirred waistband, pleats released below it into the leg, pockets at the side and a hem that breaks at the floor.
Shirring a deep waistband is slow work, so each colour runs shallow.
A shirred waistband, deep at the top
A Friday afternoon when the floor has emptied out and there is nobody left to perform for, which is when clothes get worn honestly. You walk to the printer and the leg moves full and the hem brushes the floor, and the one person still at a desk looks up from it.
The waistband is deep and shirred, so the top of the trousers gathers rather than cutting a hard line, and below it the pleats are released and the leg goes out wide. Standing at the window, the cotton falls straight from the hip and stays there. What the Monday version of the same room reads, once the floor is full again, is a person who dresses the same whether the office is watching or not.
Clothes worn in an empty room are the honest ones.
Pleats released below a deep band
The cloth is cotton and the trousers run full length, cut wide through the leg. At the top the waistband is deep and shirred, which gathers the waist in across its whole depth. Below the band the pleats are released and run out into the leg.
Pockets are set into the side seams. The hem is cut long enough to break at the floor, so the leg ends on the shoe rather than above it. The fabric is easy to care for, which is what makes a wide cotton trouser something worn through the week instead of kept back for one day.

Shirring sets the pace of the lot
A deep shirred band has to be gathered row by row before the pleats below it can be set, so each colour is produced in a shallow lot rather than held in depth. The white and the beige clear first, and a return of the same run is not guaranteed.
Choose the colour while the full set of them is listed. If the hem is longer than you want it, they go back unworn within fourteen days of delivery.
