The standeven trousers were actually my first proper bespoke order ever. I picked the cloth because it had better color variegation than the heavier weights in the bunch. I enjoy the trousers, but I think if I could order again I might choose the 310g instead despite the less variegated yarn.
While I have only felt the standeven explorer, I stand strongly behind that fox air is awesome. Same with drapers ascot for just trousers (too hot on hot summer days with a jacket, although arguably what isn’t?)
Wear it with a polo shirt on the weekend or on days where a jacket would be too formal, but you want to look put together. There’ve been plenty of days where I wanted to just wear navy suit pants because I didn’t need to wear the jacket. I typically wear something else. You can also wear it with a jumper, turtleneck or even a leather / suede jacket.It's not a color I can easily wear though - INV027 - Black Venetian 480g. Incredible
Btw, I was like you: I didn’t think a pair of black trousers would be useful, until I saw Marco Cerrato with a pair of black trousers on and he told me they were his most useful pair of trousers. Now, I’m thinking about ordering a pair for myself (maybe navy).
While I think navy would’ve been better, the price was right! How does it breathe?
