AK MC navy 120s updated Gurkha trousers

For many years now, Gurkha trousers have been a favorite of Rakish men around the world. Named after fearsome Indian worriers who were recruited into the British Army from the 19th century on, these trousers usually feature a high waist, a wide waistband, double pleats and double fasteners. While their aesthetic is certainly striking and often supremely elegant, Alexander Kraft personally found the traditional closing mechanism with opposite buckles rather cumbersome; at the same time, he has always preferred the clean look of flat front trousers. So he decided to create a contemporary version of the Gurkha that featured the clean, flat front – look of his highly successful « Riviera » model but added a slightly enlarged the waistband while also lengthening the front buckle. Thus, he combined the best of all worlds: The Gurkha – inspired waistband and fastener, with the clean look and ease-of-use of « normal » trousers. As usual, the trousers feature side adjusters.
Cut on a plain weave dark navy lightweight wool worsted in a superfine 120s woven by Vitale Barberis Canonico this is the first AK MC contemporary Gurkha trouser that forms part of a suit and is designed to complement the Signature Barchetta jacket and there is also a double-breasted waistcoat option in the same fabrication. However, like all AK MC tailoring these trousers can be worn with a variety of jackets or sweaters.
