Largeot German type moleskine 100% cotton

Le Laboureur

This is a hybrid version of the French half-ball largeot with the corporate German style. In its identical shape to the classic Laboureur largeot, it has the characteristics of the German largeots: double-zip bridge closure, leather piped pockets. Thus marrying the "German" look with the much-loved conford of the French half-ball cut, it will appeal to those who hesitate between the two styles. The moleskin canvas ensures comfort and resistance. It will acquire a beautiful patina over time. Only available in black.

Product History

History of the “largeot” pants:
An iconic pair of trousers created in 1896 by the Lyon tailor Adolphe Lafont, who made them for his carpenter father-in-law.
The balloon or half-balloon shape, narrowed at the ankles, was intended to be loose and comfortable to facilitate movement on roofs, or for carpentry work. It was worn high, a tightening tab allowed for hanging a hammer, a piped pocket on the right leg held a folding rule, gauge and pencil. Finally, a gusset pocket held a watch, chalk or possibly a clove of garlic for insect bites. Initially designed in a heavy corduroy with large ribs, or in a shaved velvet called "mole skin", ancestor of the current moleskin. Never washed but only beaten and brushed, it was often said that "the wider the breeches, the stronger the man".
Two cuts: With straps (high waist), and with belt loops (low waist).
Three fabric qualities: Velvet, moleskin and linen/cotton blend.
While these trousers are still worn by generations of professionals for their robustness and comfort, today they appeal to a private clientele for their authenticity and timelessness.
