S3 / One Pleat Pants – Heavyweight Chino

Brisbane Moss is the English cotton specialist, based for many years in West Yorkshire, a hotbed of cotton weaving. The 100% cotton drill collection lends itself perfectly to casual pants. This beautiful fabric is a little heavier than our classic chinos and has an extremely soft and fluffy feel and brightness. This very high level of quality is a luxury in ready-to-wear.

We have enjoyed working with Brisbane Moss since the beginning of our trouser adventure. A house with a long-standing reputation, like all our partners. A draper with tradition.

For nearly 150 years, Brisbane Moss has been at the forefront of cotton manufacturing. A company, since 1858, has a sustainable philosophy. The well-being and respect of customers, partners, and the environment is a priority.

Brisbane Moss is a family history. Since the 19th century, it has been among the best weavers and processors of corduroy and moleskin.
In 1970, Moss Brothers bought Brisbane Jones, a local velvet manufacturer, and became known as Brisbane Moss Corduroys.
In 1983, Brisbane Moss became part of the Chapman Group and launched a fabric stock service, the relationship proved successful and won the Queens Award for Export in 2004 and 2012. Awards that show the importance of quality and traditional fabrics.

The reputation of Brisbane Moss is made and is no longer to be proven.

A pair of trousers is not just fabric. It’s also a belt lining and pocket lining. And buttons. All Italian.

The waistband lining is made up of three superimposed fabrics. The top band is made of 100% cotton sky blue oxford, the bottom band is made of 100% cotton unbleached and un-dyed twill, both separated by a white viscose poplin anti-slip piping with Scavini embroidery. White topstitching reinforces the assembly. The pocket bottoms are cut from the same unbleached and undyed 100% cotton twill. The absence of dye is the best option from a hypoallergenic point of view. It also allows for relative discretion of the pocket bottoms behind light coloured fabrics.
The waistband lining and the pocket bottoms are prefabricated by the Italian company FVL created in 1990, guaranteeing ISO and GOTS certified quality standards. FVL is particularly involved in the subject of sustainability and ethical and social protocols, with continuous control of the production process and a fast and efficient traceability system.

Finally, for buttons, we don’t go far either, always in Veneto. At Bottonificio Padano, established in 1982. We have chosen to use exclusively corozo, called vegetable ivory, which is natural and biodegradable. In fact, the hard, white, horny albumen of the seed of a tropical American palm tree. Bottonificio Padano aims to eliminate chemical pollutants and use increasingly natural pigments. Since 1982, all the water used in production, including that used for dyeing and tumbling, is purified and reused, in a “closed cycle”, without any discharge into the external environment.

Since 2022, we have chosen to bring our production closer together. We work with a small Italian workshop located near Naples, in Campania.

A family business born in the 1950s, the workshop specialized in the production of pants.
Today, two brothers are at the head of the workshop and have only one idea in mind: always more quality!

Our chinos are designed to be machine washable. Cotton does not fear water, but to avoid shrinking of the material, do not use programmes that are too hot (above 30°) with too strong spinning (1000 turns and more), prefer gentler programmes that respect the garment. Do not use a dryer if you do not want to end up with shorts!

To tidy it up? There is nothing better than a hanger with bar or clip, as we propose in our “Accessories”. If you don’t have one, no problem! In this case, a simple and clean folding of the pants should be considered. As a precaution, it is recommended not to close the buttons.
