We offer most of our bottoms, like our denim jeans and chinos, in two refined fits—Slim and Democratic, with a Straight Fit joining the lineup in select styles. After countless hours of testing and tailoring, we think we’ve landed on a lineup of silhouettes that cover the spectrum of personal style, body type, and day-to-day functionality. Here’s how they compare.

From left to right: Slim fit, Democratic fit, Straight fit.

Slim Fit

More tapered from top to bottom, the Slim Fit is our trimmest cut. Designed with a medium rise and a narrower shape through the thigh, knee, and leg opening, it’s a modern, versatile fit that works just as well at the office as it does on the weekend.

Democratic Fit

The Democratic Fit offers ease through the seat and thigh with a gentle taper from the knee to the leg opening. It’s a great middle ground—roomeir than our Slim Fit, but with a more refined leg shape than our Straight Fit. If you’ve got an athletic build, spend time in the saddle, or just want a little more mobility without going full vintage, this one’s for you.

Straight Fit

Inspired by vintage cuts, the Straight Fit is both the newest silhouette in our selvedge lineup and our roomiest fit, offering the same ease through the seat and thigh as our Democratic Fit, but with a more open leg from knee to cuff and minimal taper. It’s an ideal choice if you’re after a laid-back, heritage-inspired profile with a bit of extra room to move.

Shared Features

All three fits share the same classic medium rise and are available in standard waist sizes with 32” and 34” inseam options. The waistband is shaped to sit comfortably against your back—no gapping or pulling—and the fit is dialed in to move with you, not against you.

Perfecting The Oxford

Out of all of the garments in our closets, from tees to jeans to chinos, there may be no item more timeless, versatile, and indispensable as the Oxford cloth button-down. It’s a style so ubiquitous, it’s often taken for granted. As though it’s always been a fixture in menswear, and always will. And while the latter half of that assumption is likely spot on, there was a lot of intention and history that went into the Oxford shirt becoming the icon we recognize it as today.

Waffle: A Time-Tested Texture

Waffle knit—sometimes called thermal knit—is a type of knitted fabric distinguished by a recessed square or honeycomb pattern that resembles the surface of a waffle. Beyond its inherent visual appeal, this finish is about much more than looks.

The raised grid creates small pockets of air between the fabric and the skin, which trap warmth while allowing moisture and heat to escape, helping regulate body temperature during activity or shifting weather. So it’s no wonder why this overachieving fabric found its footing in factories and battlefields.
