The Antarctics in light grey blue, from cloth to care

Antarctics · The Cords

Nov 2, 2026·

The Antarctics is the kind of piece that disappears once you put it on, in the best sense. corduroy, light grey blue, nothing to adjust.

Care

Store folded in a dry place. Hanging stretches the waistband over months, especially on corduroy.

How to wear it

Summer: linen shirt, loafers, no socks. Winter: merino rollneck, boots, heavy coat. The Antarctics handles both.

Fabric

corduroy was the right call here: matte surface, calm drape, and enough body that it does not cling after a few hours of wear.

Fit

It sits at the natural waist and falls straight. No taper, no break at the ankle, which makes it easy to pair with almost any shoe.

Worth knowing

Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.

The Antarctics is not a statement piece. It is the trouser you reach for without thinking, which is usually the highest compliment.
