Men's Straight Leg Cotton Drawstring Trousers
How to spot the original Drawstring Trousers
A pressed seam runs down the centre of each leg from waist to hem, so the straight leg looks tidy rather than like soft joggers.
An elasticated waist with a long cord drawstring, adjustable without a belt and comfortable when you sit at a desk or drive all day.
Soft, matt cotton with a straight, roomy leg that keeps the same width to the ankle and rests on the shoe with a small break.
The trousers
Soft cotton, easy waist
The cotton is soft and breathable, so the trousers stay comfortable whether you are sitting at a desk or out walking.
An elasticated waist with a cord drawstring adjusts to you, with no belt needed.
Side pockets are deep enough for a phone and keys.
Cotton is a natural fibre that lets your skin breathe, which matters on long days. These trousers stay comfortable on a warm train, in a heated office and on a brisk walk home. The fabric has a soft, matt surface that does not shine or bag at the knee after a few hours of sitting.
The fit
Straight leg, M to 3XL
A relaxed straight leg with a 104 cm hip on the M up to 120 cm on the 3XL.
The length is 102 to 106 cm, long enough to sit on the shoe with a small break.
The waist measures 73.5 to 87.5 cm relaxed and stretches comfortably beyond that.
The straight leg is relaxed through the thigh and keeps the same width down to the ankle, so the trousers hang cleanly whether you are standing or walking. The drawstring lets you fine-tune the waist, and the elastic means there is nothing to dig in after a big lunch.

From Maria & Denis
Straight leg cotton drawstring trousers are the comfortable middle ground between joggers and smart trousers.
They are made from soft, breathable cotton with an elasticated drawstring waist, so they feel easy from breakfast to bedtime.
The straight, roomy leg falls cleanly to the shoe, and a pressed seam down the front keeps them looking tidy.
Wear them with a sweatshirt and trainers for the weekend, or with a knit and loafers when you want a relaxed smart look.
They are the trousers you reach for on travel days, work-from-home days and long Sunday walks.
Some days call for trousers that feel as easy as joggers but look smarter when you step out of the door. These cotton drawstring trousers do exactly that: the waist is soft and adjustable, the leg is straight and clean, and the front seam gives them a crisp line that reads as proper trousers, not gym wear.
Black, khaki or apricot, a soft stone shade, in sizes M to 3XL.

Fabric & care
Cotton.
Machine wash at 30°C inside out, hang to dry.
Cotton is breathable and easy to care for: wash it at 30°C inside out with similar colours.
Hang it to dry rather than tumble drying, which keeps the colour fresh and stops shrinking.
A quick cool iron or a steamer smooths it out in seconds.
