Largeot with drawstrings Le Laboureur in black corded velvet

Corporate pants, half balloon shape, wide at the thighs and narrowed at the ankles, come from a need for ease and functionality. This “high waist” version, known as a pull-on version, does not have loops but buttons to fix the braided straps. At the back a tightening tab allows you to adjust the size. The moleskin canvas ensures comfort and resistance. The velvet cord (300 lines/m) ensures warmth and robustness. It is in this coarse ribbed fabric, originating from England, that the first largeot was designed by Adolphe Lafont in 1896. Made in France (Digoin, Burgundy). Available in 3 colors corresponding to the Compagnons corporations: Black for carpenters and roofers, Brown for cabinetmakers and Hazelnut for carpenters. A little stiff when new, it will quickly soften to become fluid, like a real second skin.
