Largeot German type velvet

Le Laboureur
This is a hybrid version of the French half-balloon largeot with the German corporate style. In its identical form to the classic Laboureur largeot, it has the characteristics of the German largeots: double-zipped bridge closure, piped leather pockets. Thus marrying the "German" look with the much-loved conford of the French half-balloon cut, it will seduce those who hesitate between the two styles. The cord velvet (300 stripes / m) ensures warmth and robustness. It is in this thick-ribbed fabric, originally from England, that the first largeot was designed by Adolphe Lafont in 1896. Only available in black. Made in France (Digoin, Burgundy)

Product History

The largeot, an iconic pair of trousers created in 1896 under the scissors of the Lyon tailor Adolphe Lafont who made them for his father-in-law, a carpenter. 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 you to hang 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 ribbed velvet, or in a shaved velvet called "mole skin", ancestor of today's moleskin. Never washed but only beaten and brushed, it was often said that "the wider the pants, the stronger the man". Two cuts: With straps and suspenders (high waist), and with belt loops (low waist). Three fabric qualities: Velvet, moleskin and linen/cotton blend. While these pants are still worn by generations of professionals for their robustness and comfort, they now appeal to a private clientele for their authenticity and timelessness.
