A trouser does not need to be complicated to be useful. The Edwards proves it — flannel, grey and burgundy plaid, and a cut that stays out of the way.
Fit
The cut is regular. Room through the thigh, a straight fall, relaxed without looking oversized. Between sizes, take the smaller one.
Care
Wash with similar tones for the first few cycles. flannel can release a little dye; after that it settles.
How to wear it
Pair it simply. A knit polo and suede shoes is enough. Avoid a second pattern — the Edwards looks best when everything else is calm.
Fabric
The fabric is flannel with a slight texture. Under daylight it reads grey and burgundy plaid; indoors it goes a shade deeper, which is typical of good dyeing.
Worth knowing
Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.
Simple, well made, easy to live with. That is the whole argument.
