NONNOTTE / Draping Crotch Box Pleats One-Tuck Trousers (Charcoal Top)

For the past few years, when it comes to plain fabrics, the market has been dominated by fabrics with clearly visible weaves like twill, or plain weaves with a flat appearance

In this context, we wondered if it was possible to create a plain fabric that still had depth and character. This material was born from that question.

The inspiration came from the doeskin weave used in men's classic formal wear.

Doeskin is a satin weave-based fabric designed to express the texture of deerskin (male deer leather) through weaving. It does not have the excessive sheen of typical satin weaves, nor does it look as casual as gabardine. It has a supple resilience, a moderate sheen, and a quiet elegance.

Normally, it is brushed with a milled finish to make it look more like leather, but nonnotte took a different approach.

By combining our unique special softening process and clear finish, we have redesigned doeskin to have a more modern texture. Without relying on napping, we've brought out the drape, resilience, and smooth surface texture inherent in the fabric's structure itself.

The way the light hits it creates subtle shifts in shadow, resulting in a look that's not monotonous despite being a solid color. We

want to propose this as a material that can be used year-round, not limited to any particular season.

It has a beautiful drape and a supple texture derived from the fabric's structure. It has the potential to become a new cornerstone of your wardrobe, unlike conventional solid-color materials.

This time, it will be available in two colors: black and charcoal top.

Black is the color where the movement of the drape and sheen is most elegantly displayed. The appearance of the surface changes depending on how the light hits it, resulting in a black with a quiet tension.

Charcoal top has depth created by the heathered texture unique to top yarn, and the shadows of the fabric stand out more softly. It's a solid color, yet it has a subtle nuance layered on top.

With both colors, you can enjoy the beauty of this material's drape and resilience from different angles.

Style: Drapping Crotch Box Pleats One-Tuck Trousers

These Drapping Crotch Box Pleats Trousers feature a box pleat pattern in the crotch to create a three-dimensional effect. This is a signature piece offered by the brand.

The most distinctive feature is that there are no seams at the side seams, and the design allows the fabric to stand up as a single, three-dimensional piece.

The absence of dividing lines on the sides creates a beautiful, planar silhouette, and the drape and flow of the material are fully expressed.

To ensure sufficient room in the crotch area, a box pleat structure, which is unusual for men's trousers, has been adopted. This design is usually used in women's designs, but we believe it is very rational in terms of freedom of movement and three-dimensionality, and is highly effective for men's trousers as well.

When worn, the silhouette does not spread out excessively and falls straight down to the hem. The design allows for volume internally, while the outside is neatly finished. The volume is hidden, and only the drape is visible on the outside.

The waist features a single pleat, and the back is elasticized to allow for a wider range of fit. We aimed for a balance that is structurally sound yet easy to wear every day. We also paid close attention

to the hem. By using a narrow triple-fold finish, which is often used in shirts, we avoided creating unnecessary bulk at the hem and achieved a natural drape that doesn't defy gravity.

As a result, the drape relaxes naturally all the way to the tip of the hem, and the texture of the material remains unbroken to the very end.

Until now, I have rarely seen authentic men's trousers with a box pleat in the crotch. That's why I want to present this structure as a new standard for men's trousers. I hope you will experience

not only the novelty of the appearance, but also the three-dimensional feel and comfort that your body will experience when you wear them.
