Trouser Cut Guide

Understanding our cuts

A cut for everyone, to each his own!

For many years, Julien Scavini has been making tailor-made suits, and therefore trousers. He has therefore been able to observe and analyse the main types of trousers. During the development of Scavini Trousers, the question arose as to how to do it right? How to make good trousers, beautiful trousers, and trousers that fit well.

So we started by designing two basic cuts, elegant, classic and modern at the same time. The fitted cut (S1) and the classic cut (S2).

Due to their success, and by popular demand, we have expanded our offer beyond these two effective and easy cuts. We decided to develop new trouser cuts with more character and more tailoring details.

There are now 6 of them!

Our Trouser Cuts

S1 : The Fitted Cut

Along with the classic cut, the fitted cut has been proposed since the beginnings of the house. But that doesn’t mean it hasn’t had a few tweaks!

We have revised it for the Autumn/Winter 2022 collection, following feedback from our customers. It is now a little more fitted than in the past, to the great pleasure of the fans!

Halfway between a slim fit and a classic model. It is tapered and ideal for slimming your figure.

It is worn at the natural waist, just above the hips. Thighs and calves are close to the body without compromising comfort. The bum is highlighted (without vulgarity!), which generally pleases the ladies.

The trousers of this cut are made in Italy, in a family workshop near Naples.

Natural waist – Fitted leg – Ideal for men looking for a fashionable cut

S2: The Classic Cut

Along with the fitted cut, the classic cut has been proposed since the beginning of the house. After a few adjustments at the beginning of its career, it has remained unchanged ever since.

Proof of the timelessness that is its strength!

It is dedicated to men who are looking for trousers that will remain current for a long time, and for whom quality is found in the subtle details. It is contemporary, without falling into extremes.
It is sartorial, without being showy.

It is worn at the natural waist, above the hips. The thigh is comfortable and the fullness of the leg allows a perfect fit. However, with a modern twist, we’ve made the bottom a little thinner.

Natural waist – Straight leg with slimmed down hem – Ideal for timeless men

S3: The One-Pleat Cut

With the success of our two historical cuts, some gentlemen asked us for a more classic cut, with a more pronounced tailored look. It is to meet these expectations that we developed the one-pleat cut!

It is the most classic and comfortable of our cuts. It has the highest waistline and an outward facing pleat.

An old-school look full of panache with an extended placket, side adjusters and little twists in the style. It is ideal for men who love Pitti Uomo and Italian sartorial elegance.

High waist – Comfortable leg – Italian extended waistband – Ideal for men looking for a sartorial style

S4: The Two-Pleats Cut

We have developed this fitted two-pleats model following the success of our first three cuts. It solves a double dilemma: having a tailored style while keeping the modern fit of the S1 cut.

So we based it on the fitted cut. The thighs and calves are close to the body without compromising comfort.

It is dedicated to men who are looking for stylish trousers with a sartorial spirit, while keeping a very modern look.

Natural waist – Fitted leg – Double pleats – Ideal for those looking for a slim fit with a more pronounced style

GS: The Gurkha Cut

In order to continue to satisfy those who are looking for elegant pieces with character, we have developed a gurkha model in collaboration with a very high-end workshop in Portugal.

With its high waistband and criss-crossing straps, it is the icing on the cake of a beautiful wardrobe. Quite high-waisted, with two darts, the gurkha is a very rare collector’s item in ready-to-wear.

This cut has its origins in military clothing. The English have appropriated this system of fastening from the North of India (and the military of the same name).

High waist – Comfortable leg – Clasp full of character – Military origins – Ideal for workwear or distinctive style lovers

FS : The Fishtail Cut

As trouser specialists, we have decided to offer a cut that is now very rare: the Fishtail.

This cut gets its name thanks to the particular cut of the back of the waistband. This allows you to wear braces while ensuring that the trousers fit snugly around your hips.

It is thus the ideal for the amateurs of this accessory!

Very common at the beginning of the 20th century, this cut was favoured by workers and peasants, which is why we have made it in robust and rustic materials.

We make these trousers in Portugal, in the same workshop as the Gurkha cut.

High waist – Comfortable leg – Fishtail cut – Ideal for suspender lovers
