I have last year's cream (more like off-white actually) heavy cotton trousers as well as the (surprisingly, lighter) green cord, both in the flat front high rise chino cut, unlined, and they are both machine washable. Definitely super versatile, they are my default trousers for everyday.
However, this season they seem to claim all their trousers are dry clean only, at least on the website. The actual garment coming from their supplier might very well claim otherwise, it wouldn't be the first time I've seen this.

edit: actually I've re-checked, and now if I look at the same model of last year (Alfie), they do say machine washable. In fact, even the new Antonello models which I'm really positive all claimed "dry clean only" now state "machine washable" (only those in cotton ofc). They must have updated it.

I'm considering getting the cream cotton trousers. Did yours shrink after washing ?

Yes, they did shrink a little in the waist (and obviously in length). They were already slightly tight in the waist, so after a couple of washes (which I did to make sure I could hem them correctly) I did have to let them out.

I do recommend them whenever they go on sale, they're probably my most used everyday trouser in fall/winter. The only problem ofc is they require frequent washing as the hem inevitably gets dirty.

thanks, that's very helpful!

I made an order around 1 hour ago just fine, but when I try to add to cart now it indeed doesn't work. I get an error about add.js and CORS in the browser console.

aha, probably their system was not expecting a large amount of interest.

Having for the company they use for their ecomm, I doubt it's the traffic that caused it. Probably something they did on their end or a general bug. It seems to be fixed already.

Does anyone have the Antonio High Twist Wool Trousers from Spring/Summer season? I got a pair on sale and wonder how is the fit and fabric.

You'll get them and will see for yourself soon enough! The trousers are nice, wool is very dry to the touch, just a tiny bit rough, but high quality. The cut is great, more on the wider side compared to "normal" suit usual trousers. Details are great. At a discount you can't beat B&B trousers, really, they're great if you are looking for something very classy.

I bought two Antonio high twist trousers last summer, and the fit was slimmer than advertised. I had to resell them for that reason. I also have Antonio flannels wool trousers, no issue with them, the fit is great

Thanks! At discount price + extra discount code they seem to be really good value. I am indeed looking for classic trousers, I just hope the cut is not too wide for me. Are you wearing them cuffed?

Interesting, will measure them and see if there is a really big difference. Just a tad smaller won't be an issue probably.

Beware, the sizing of the new Antonio model (SS 2024) is different from that of the old one, despite what the size chart says on the website.

It is notably slimmer.

Unfortunately, I noticed that when I was at the tailor's, 1 month and a half after the purchase. I have to sell 2 of them (grey and black, if anyone is still interested. New without tag, with a 4,5cm cuff)

I took measurements on a size 44 :
- thigh: 32cm (instead of 33cm)
- knee (measured 35cm below crotch): 22cm (instead of 24cm)
- hem: 19cm (instead of 20cm)

I had posted the differences in measurement back then

Indeed, a little bit too much, especially the knee which is way too slim at 22 cm. Will measure mine and get back if I find similar differences, mine are size 46.

Yes this was too slim for me. Slight discrepancies are common, but this was too much. That said, I bought Alfie trousers on sale last month, and the fit was consistent.

Perhaps it was due to a manufacturing error, and they put them on sale. Unfortunately I noticed it too late to be able to return them, and I sold them on Vinted
