Some trousers earn their place quietly. The Defenders is one: cotton, finished in a muted tone, and made to be worn often without much thought.
Care
Cold machine wash, low spin, dry flat away from direct sun. Iron on low if you want a sharper finish, though it is not needed.
Fit
Cut is mid-rise with a straight leg. If you prefer a closer fit, size down; the fabric gives slightly after the first wear.
Fabric
The material is cotton, tightly woven, with a dry hand. It breathes better than a synthetic blend, which matters if you wear the same trouser all day.
How to wear it
It pairs with grey, ecru, navy and denim. Avoid bright accents; the cloth is the detail.
Worth knowing
Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.
If you already own something similar in a lighter cloth, this is the version for cooler months.
