From Victorian era curiosities to early 20th century equestrian and motorcycle wear to rare WW2 era items - Black Sign garments are beautifully constructed, with a shared identity and aesthetic cohesion running through the collection to a degree we rarely see in brands focusing on reproductions & recreations.
Black Sign's Gurkha Pants are an outstanding take on the style, cut with a high rise, double-pleated top block, and two very classic straight legs. The legs are cut plenty long, so as to not diminish the scale of these pants with an insufficiently long inseam, and will fit over any footwear you can find — the hem is unfinished, allowing for easy tailoring with regards to trouser length.
The waist closes up with a classic Gurkha belt system - fully adjustable and integrated into the pants, they also include internal suspender buttons for additional security. The style itself is less rooted in historical reproduction and more of a "what if", these being a pair of pants that didn't exist in the 1940s, but very well could have.
They're made from a 100% wool twill designed to replicate the fabric of a 1951 Army field wool trouser. It's got a course, vintage feel that's pleasantly tough and dry without being stiff, and insulates surprisingly well thanks to being 100% wool. The inside is trimmed with a brown cotton corduroy, and the front closes up with a button fly and two crisscrossed belts.
True to size - these measure small because they sit above the waist - take the size closest to your usual pants fit. Spot clean or dry clean only.
