100 percent wool pants are what dress trousers were before polyester: a cloth that drapes, breathes, holds a crease and recovers from a long day. These are cut to your measurements in a Super 160s worsted woven by Vitale Barberis Canonico, a family mill in Biella, Italy, that has been weaving wool since 1663. Flat front, hook closure, slanted pockets and a generous 3 inch hem allowance so the length can be changed later.

Pure wool earns its place. It moves moisture away from the skin, so it feels cooler than a synthetic in warm rooms; it holds a layer of warm air in cold weather; it resists odor, so it needs washing less often; and it springs back from creases overnight. Inside, the front is lined to the knee in a satin of your choice, a grip keeps your shirt in place, and the hem is sewn by hand.

Read the label on most dress pants and you find a blend: polyester, viscose, a little elastane, sometimes a minority of wool. These are 100% wool, cut from your waist, seat, thigh and inseam, and your first pair is a free test trouser so the fit is settled before we cut the cloth. Dark gray is shown in the photos; the same cloth comes in light gray, medium gray, steel gray, navy blue, midnight blue and black.

Free Test Trouser

A Free Test Trouser in Cotton

Before we cut your wool, we send you a test trouser in cotton, made to your measurements, free and yours to keep. It is unlined; your satin goes into the final pair.

Fine Super 160s cloth drapes beautifully, but only when the trouser fits. In the test pair, check that the waistband sits level without a belt pulling it, that the seat is smooth and that the leg hangs straight to a hem that just meets your shoe. Send us your notes and we adjust the pattern before cutting the wool.

What Dress Pants Are Made Of

What Dress Pants Are Made Of

Men's 100 percent wool dress pants in dark gray, check shirt, black knit tie and monk shoes, front view

What are dress pants made of? Traditionally wool, and the finest still are. Today most ready-made dress pants are made of polyester or a polyester and viscose blend, because it is cheap and easy to manufacture. Here is how the common dress pants materials compare, and why wool is still the most reliable dress pants material.

100% wool, this pairBreathes, drapes, holds a crease, resists odor and creasing; lasts for years
Wool blendWool with polyester for lower cost; stiffer, warmer and shinier as the polyester share rises
Polyester or poly-viscoseCheap and easy care; traps heat and sweat, pills and can look shiny with wear
CottonCasual; creases quickly and loses shape at the knee

100% wool pants are not all the same, either. Worsted wool, like this cloth, is spun from long, combed fibers into a smooth, strong yarn, which is why worsted wool pants look crisp and keep their shape. Woolen cloth, such as flannel, uses shorter fibers and is softer and fuzzier. And the Super number tells you how fine the fiber is: Super 160s is very fine, giving a smooth, light hand and a fluid drape.

When you shop for 100 wool dress pants or 100 percent wool trousers, check three things on the label: the fiber content (100% wool, not a blend), the weave (worsted for dress trousers) and the lining. If the label says only wool blend, the polyester share is usually the larger one.


What to Wear

What to Wear With Dark Gray Wool Trousers

Dark gray wool is the most useful color in tailoring after navy: formal enough for meetings, easy enough for every day.

OfficeWhite, light blue or a fine check shirt; a dark tie and black shoes, as in our photos
With a jacketNavy blazer, tweed or camel jacket; avoid a gray jacket that nearly matches
Business casualA merino knit or open collar with loafers
EveningA black or white shirt with black shoes

Men’s wool dress pants in a dark color are the foundation of a working wardrobe: men’s 100 wool dress pants in gray, navy and black cover almost every occasion. If you are looking for 100% wool pants, men’s sizes in shops rarely fit everyone; wool dress trousers men have made to their own measurements fit from the first wear. For a slightly heavier, softer cloth with a touch of cashmere, see our all season wool dress pants.

The Cloths

Super 160s Worsted From Biella

All seven colors are the same 100% Super 160s worsted from Vitale Barberis Canonico in Biella, northern Italy. Biella has been a wool-weaving center for centuries because of its soft mountain water, which is used to wash and finish the cloth. The result is a light, smooth worsted with a clean drape.

Questions & Answers

Questions About 100% Wool Dress Pants

Q. What material are dress pants made of?
A. Traditionally wool, especially worsted wool, which is smooth, strong and drapes well. Most ready-made dress pants today are polyester, viscose or a blend with a small share of wool, because those cloths are cheaper to produce. Ours are 100% Super 160s worsted wool, the cloth dress trousers were designed around.
Q. Is 100% wool better than a wool blend?
A. For dress trousers, usually yes. Pure wool breathes better, drapes better, resists odor and recovers from creases, and it ages well. Blends with polyester cost less and can feel stiffer and warmer, and they tend to shine at the seat and knees over time. A small share of stretch can help movement, but most of the comfort of a good trouser comes from the fit.
Q. Are 100 percent wool pants hot?
A. Not when the cloth is light. Fine worsted wool is often cooler than polyester, because wool absorbs moisture and lets it evaporate rather than trapping it against the skin. This Super 160s cloth is light and smooth, comfortable in heated and air-conditioned offices all year.
Q. What does Super 160s mean?
A. It is a measure of fiber fineness: the higher the number, the finer the wool. Super 160s is very fine, which gives a soft, smooth hand and a fluid drape. Fine cloth rewards a little care: rotate your trousers and let them rest between wears.
Q. Who is Vitale Barberis Canonico?
A. It is a family wool mill in Biella, in northern Italy, with records of wool weaving going back to 1663. It weaves cloth for tailors and clothing houses around the world and is known for fine worsted suitings. We use its Super 160s cloth for these trousers.
Q. Are wool dress pants itchy?
A. Fine worsted wool like this is not; itchiness comes from coarse fibers, and Super 160s is among the finest grades. The front of the leg is also lined to the knee in satin, which adds a smooth layer where the trouser touches you most.
Q. Can 100% wool pants be machine washed?
A. These can, on a cool, gentle wool cycle, hung by the hem to dry. Dry cleaning is recommended for a longer life and a sharper crease. Wool resists odor, so airing the trousers overnight between wears is usually enough.
Q. Why a 3 inch hem allowance?
A. It leaves extra cloth inside the hem so the length can be let down later, for example if you change shoes or want less break. Most ready-made trousers are cut with little or no allowance, so they can only be shortened.
Q. Is the test trouser free, and how long does it take?
A. Yes, the test trouser is free and yours to keep. It takes 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch; once you confirm the fit, your final pair takes 3 to 4 weeks to make and arrives 5 to 10 days after dispatch. Order early if you need them for a date.
