Largeot with loops Le Laboureur in brown 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 “low waist” version, known as a belt loop, can be worn with a belt or clipped suspenders. 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 4 colors corresponding to the Compagnons corporations: Black for carpenters and roofers, Brown for cabinetmakers, Hazelnut for carpenters, Ecru for stonemasons. A little stiff when new, it will quickly soften to become fluid, like a real second skin.
