Men cotton trousers 1962

Popular for their robustness and comfortable fit, these trousers are based on a model that was part of the field uniform of the American armed forces between 1952 and 1963 - they were probably also worn by Elvis Presley. Pike Brothers has left the shape and cut unchanged for the new edition. The fabric is a strong, longitudinally ribbed "jungle cloth" and the original metal buttons have been replaced by pewter buttons. The trousers, which close with a button placket, have two patch pockets at the front and back, the latter with flaps and buttons. The width can be moderately adjusted via buttoned waist tabs in the waistband.

The Pike Brothers label from Bad Feilnbach in Upper Bavaria proves with garments inspired by textiles from the world of workwear that form and functionality are not mutually exclusive. While creative minds in other companies have to work out their cuts, the Pike Brothers collect, dissect and finally reconstruct historical originals from a wide variety of workspaces. Different material requirements and cuts are taken into account on a one-for-one basis. Fabrics are reissued in collaboration with traditional weaving mills. Finally, the Pike Brothers have the garments made by hand from selected European tailors. The resulting products tell a story by dint of their appearance. Moreover, they are proving themselves in practice, just like their historical role models did, to be highly functional and to offer the highest comfort – no matter what the activity.
