CASUAL TROUSERS (5874) - lightarmy

The comfortable take on casual trousers – a cool addition to your wardrobe. These pull-on trousers are crafted from a heavy 8-wales cotton corduroy fabric, with a soft and velvety surface. The trousers are designed with an elasticated waistline for extra comfort, with a hidden drawstring for adjustability, and features slanted side-pockets with an extra hidden zip-pocket for valuables. A single, rounded pocket with a “Revolution” brand-label adds character to the backside of the trousers. The legs are tapered to follow the natural leg-line, and the hem can be folded for a cropped look. Corduroy originates from the ancient Egyptians and was considered a cloth for the high-society. During the 18th century corduroy moved down the social scale, as British textile manufacturers developed the distinctive wales that would transform it into the corduroy we know today. The fabric was soon favored by schoolteachers and academics, and because corduroy was considered a very strong fabric, it became popular as a material for the working men's clothing after the Industrial revolution. During the 1970s corduroy developed a fashion status, as an anti-establishment badge of a cool working-class fabric, and this status is still current today.
