High-waisted

Designed to sit at the waist (pelvis) for stable support without squeezing the crotch and lower hips.

Waist / Rise / Thigh

Longer front-rise, extended crotch, and roomy thigh width to give the body space to sit, walk, bend, and move comfortably.

3 Pleats

Pleats expand when sitting to create extra room through the hips and thighs, then return back when standing. This is a structured analog movement without the use of polyester or elastane.

Extended Seat

Extra room through the seat reduces pulling at the crotch and waistband.

Use: Office, dress, and casual wear — including long hours sitting and moving. Roomy construction provides all-day ease, while 100% Merino wool can often be worn multiple times before cleaning.
