Trouser with a leg of middling width, made in London, with a hopsack of linen and cotton from Lancashire, and with dark horn buttons and a brass buckle from the West Midlands. If in doubt with sizing, ignore what your current trousers say they are, and measure them instead. Lay them out flat, run the tape-measure from one side of the waistband to the other, and then double it. That's your size. For those of taller stature, the leg may be lengthened by a further 1½ inches by letting down the hem — taking the total to 33½. These trousers are best washed by hand in lukewarm water, or dry-cleaned. If a washing machine must be used, water no hotter than 20ºc is the only way to go — preserving the colour and character of the cloth, and warding off any chance shrinkage — and they should never be within half a mile of a tumble-dryer.
