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

The art of blending is akin to culinary mastery. Renowned drapers and tailors excel in creating captivating combinations of materials that are both aesthetically pleasing and of exceptional quality. For the winter season, they offer a delightful union of wool and cotton. This harmonious pairing brings together the best of both worlds, harnessing unique qualities from each fabric. The wool brings structure and texture, cotton brings comfort and makes it hard-wearing. fusion of these two materials results in an invaluable fabric that showcases unrivaled beauty, both visually and to the touch.

Lanificio Subalpino was founded in the 70s by a wool merchant from Biella. It’s still a small, family-run business based in the Italian Alps, developing fabrics with a strong emphasis on blends, notably cotton and wool.

It’s essential for a small brand like ours to draw on the know-how of other, human-scale companies, to grow hand in hand. At Subalpino, we found a kindness and attentiveness that are extremely rare in the sector. Thanks to the flexibility of their production facilities, we were able to develop beautiful wool and cotton chevrons, modern whipcords, as well as some very nice donegal tweed effects. A happy collaboration with a top-quality made-in-Italy clothmaker.

Our development is accompanied by a great awareness of quality, while favoring local production, we have directed our research in Italy during the year 2021. After many months, we found a small traditional workshop south of Naples that is a blessing.

Our genius craftsman created his workshop at the age of eighteen, in the year 2000. Before that, his parents had also had their own trouser workshop. His only limitations were the space and the recruitment of seamstresses. Apart from that, what finesse, everything is possible! With our new workshop, we develop our volumes and bring a great craft aesthetic. We can work in-depth on models and details, far from the large industrial platforms.

A close collaboration that allows us – it’s very nice – to go to Italy from time to time and come back with a head full of new ideas. The keywords of a Scavini pant are now refinement, craftsmanship & localism. A very luxurious pant, cut from Italian or English fabric. The equivalent of the models of great luxury brands.

Dry cleaning is highly recommended for wool product. However, it should not be done often: only once a year, or even less! A simple steam ironing at home or at the dry cleaner’s is enough in most cases to remove odours, bacteria and to make the trousers look good again.
