Questions & Answers
Frequently asked questions about measuring yourself
How do I measure my bust, waist and length for a custom garment?
Use a flexible tape. For the bust, wrap it around the fullest part with the tape level. For the waist, measure the narrowest part, usually just above the belly button. For length, measure from the shoulder or natural waist down to your desired hem. Keep the tape level and snug with room for one finger, and measure over close-fitting clothing rather than bulky layers.
How do I measure my waist, hips, thighs and rise?
Measure the waist at the narrowest point, the hips around the widest part of your hips and seat, and the thigh around the fullest part of the upper leg. For the rise, sit down and measure from the front of your natural waist, down between your legs to the seat. Keep the tape level and snug throughout.
Where can I get my measurements taken?
Any local tailor or seamstress can take your measurements in a few minutes, and many fabric or bridal shops offer measuring too. You can also measure yourself at home with a flexible tape using this guide, or have a friend help with the back and shoulder measurements. Because we send a free test garment before cutting your final cloth, the fit is confirmed on your body regardless of who takes the first measurements.
What do I need to measure myself?
Just a flexible measuring tape, a mirror, and ideally a friend to help with the shoulder and back measurements. Wear close-fitting clothing so the tape sits against your body, and stand naturally with your weight even on both feet.
How tight should the measuring tape be?
Snug but not tight. The tape should sit flat against your body with just enough room to slip one finger underneath. Pulling it too tight gives measurements that are too small, and leaving it loose makes the garment baggy.
What if my measurements are not perfect?
That is exactly why we send a free test garment. Give us your best measurements, and we build a test version in a stand-in cloth to your numbers and ship it to you. You try it on, we adjust from there, and nothing is cut in your final fabric until the fit is confirmed.

Tailored Bootcut Trousers
Slim Tailored Bootcut Trousers, Set to Your Knee and Your Heels
A bootcut works when two things are right: where the leg starts to open, and where the hem lands on your shoe. Too high and it looks like a flare; too short and the line is lost. Ready-made bootcut trousers set both for an average height and one heel, which is why so many look almost right.
These are slim bootcut trousers for women, tailored bootcut pants with an elegant silhouette: slim through the hip and thigh, then a gentle flare from the knee that balances a heel. Bootcut trousers like these work as formal trousers for women at the office, or as bootcut slacks for a little more line than a straight leg. Some spell it boot cut trousers; it is the same shape.
These are cut to your measurements in 9 oz Super 140s wool: slim through the hip and thigh, opening gently from the knee, and hemmed for the shoes you will wear. You see and adjust both points on a free test pair before your wool is cut.
Free Test Pair
A Free Test Pair Before We Cut Your Wool
With a bootcut, the test pair matters more than with any other trouser, because the two points that make the shape are set on your body, not on a size chart.

Your test pair 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.

The Bootcut Line
What Makes a Bootcut a Bootcut
A bootcut is slim from the hip to the knee, then opens slightly so the hem is a little wider than the knee. It was made to sit over a boot or a heel, and on a tailored trouser it balances the hips and makes the leg look longer. It is quieter than a flare.
| Bootcut (this pair) | Slim through the thigh, a gentle opening from the knee, hem a little wider than the knee. Works for the office and with heels or boots. |
| Flare | A wider, more dramatic opening, often starting higher. A bolder, more fashion-led line. |
| Straight leg | The same width from the knee to the hem. Cleaner with flats and loafers. |
Want the opening a little wider or narrower than ours? Write it in the comment box, and you will see the result on the test pair.
Comparing shapes? Our tailored flare trousers open wider from the knee, and our formal pants for women fall straight from hip to hem.
Heels and Length
Bootcut Trousers and Heels: Getting the Length Right
A bootcut is meant to be long. The hem should cover most of the heel and sit about half an inch off the floor at the back, so the leg reads as one long line. That only works for one heel height, so tell us which shoes you will wear most.
- High heels or heeled boots: the classic bootcut length, with the hem resting over the top of the foot.
- Low heels or block heels: a little shorter, so the hem does not drag.
- Flats: possible, but a bootcut on flats can pool at the ankle. If you wear flats most days, ask for a straight leg instead.
The Wool
9 oz Super 140s Wool, Lined to the Knee
The cloth is a 9 oz Super 140s worsted wool, 100% wool, in a plain weave. It is light enough for heated offices and most of the year, and the fine yarn drapes smoothly, which is what lets the opening below the knee fall cleanly instead of standing out stiffly.
The front of each leg is lined in acetate to just below the knee, so the trousers slide over tights and the knees keep their shape. Choose the lining color in the selector above. If wool makes your skin itch, ask for the lining to run all the way to the hem, at no extra cost.

Questions & Answers
Questions About These Tailored Bootcut Trousers
Q. How should tailored bootcut pants and trousers fit?
A. Close through the hip and thigh without pulling, then opening gently from the knee so the hem is a little wider than the knee. The hem should cover most of your heel and sit about half an inch off the floor at the back. You check all of this on the free test pair.
Q. What is the difference between bootcut and flare trousers?
A. A bootcut opens gently from the knee, so the hem is only a little wider than the knee. A flare opens wider and more dramatically. A bootcut is the quieter of the two and sits easily in an office.
Q. What shoes do you wear with bootcut trousers?
A. Heels, heeled boots and block heels suit a bootcut most naturally, because the opening was made to sit over a heel. Tell us your heel height so we can set the length. If you mostly wear flats, a straight leg is usually the better choice.
Q. Are bootcut trousers flattering?
A. A slim bootcut balances the hips with a slightly wider hem and, worn long over a heel, makes the leg look longer. Whether it suits you depends on where the leg opens and where the hem lands, which is why both are set on your test pair.
Q. What are these bootcut trousers made of?
A. A 9 oz Super 140s worsted wool, 100% wool, with the front of each leg lined in acetate to just below the knee.
Q. Are these trousers lined?
A. Yes, the front of each leg is lined to the knee, and you choose the lining color. If wool makes you itch, ask for a full lining to the hem at no extra cost, or ask for them unlined.
Q. Can I wear bootcut trousers to work?
A. Yes. In Black, Charcoal Grey, Dark Grey or Off White with a blouse and a jacket, these are tailored work trousers with a flat front, belt loops and welt back pockets. Cobalt, Deep Purple or Red make a stronger statement.
Q. Can I machine wash these wool trousers?
A. Yes. Wash them cold on a gentle wool cycle and hang them to dry, or dry clean them if you prefer. Between wears, hang them by the hem so the creases drop out.
Q. Can I change the leg to straight or a wider flare?
A. Yes. Write “straight leg”, “narrower bootcut” or “wider bootcut” in the comment box on the measurement form, and you will see the result on the test pair before your wool is cut.
Q. How much do these bootcut trousers cost?
A. They are $239 in any of the 13 colors, with any lining color. The price includes a free cotton test pair that is yours to keep, so the fit is confirmed before your wool is cut.
Q. How long does it take to receive my trousers, and do you ship internationally?
A. Your test pair 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. Both ship worldwide with tracking, and if you need them by a date, order as early as you can.

Women’s Trouser Fit Guide

Best for: A lean build or anyone who prefers a sleek, streamlined silhouette with a modern edge.

Best for: An average build or those seeking versatile trousers that combine structure with ease of movement.
Relaxed Fit
Loosely tailored with extra room throughout the hips, thighs, and leg opening for maximum comfort.
Best for: Those who prioritize ease, freedom of movement, or need a more forgiving fit around the midsection and hips.
Women’s Trouser Fit Guide
How Women’s Trousers Should Fit
Trousers are where ready-to-wear forces the biggest compromise: a waist that fits means hips that pull, or hips that fit means a gaping waistband. Custom-made trousers remove that trade-off entirely. You choose the leg shape and the fit, we cut the waist, hips, rise, and length to your measurements, and a free test garment confirms it on you before your final cloth is cut. This guide covers the leg shapes, the fits, and where trousers should sit.
Step One
Choose your leg shape
Slim / Tapered
Fitted through the thigh and narrowing to the ankle, for a sleek, modern line that works cropped or full length.
Straight
A clean, even line from hip to hem, the most classic and versatile shape, flattering on almost everyone.
Bootcut / Flared
Fitted through the thigh then opening below the knee, which balances the hips and elongates the leg, especially with a heel.
Wide-leg / Relaxed
Roomy and fluid from the hip down, for an easy, contemporary silhouette with plenty of movement.
Step Two
The fit checkpoints
Waist
The waistband sits comfortably at your chosen height, snug without digging in, with no gap at the back when you sit. Because it is cut to your waist, you avoid the usual back-gape or muffin pinch.
Hips & thigh
The trousers skim your hips and thigh cleanly, with no pulling or horizontal strain lines. This is exactly where off-the-rack fails and custom-made tailoring wins, because the hip is cut independently of the waist.
Rise
The rise, how high the trouser sits from crotch to waistband, is cut to you, so a high-rise sits at the natural waist without pulling and a mid-rise sits just below. Tell us your preference.
Length & break
You choose the length: a full break resting on the shoe, a light break with a single soft fold, or a clean cropped ankle. Every hem is cut to your leg and your shoe height.
Every pair is made to your measurements, in the leg shape and fit you choose, with the waist, hip, and rise cut independently for a true fit. A free test garment confirms it before your final cloth is cut, and it is yours to keep.
Your Worries, Answered
The doubts most women have, and why you can relax
Trousers never fit my waist and my hips at the same time. Am I just an awkward shape?
You are not, ready-to-wear is the problem, not your body. Off-the-rack trousers are cut to one fixed waist-to-hip ratio, so if yours is different, either the waist gapes or the hips pull, no matter which size you buy. We cut your waist and your hip independently to your own measurements, so both fit at once, and the free test garment proves it on your body before the final pair is made. A great many of our customers have spent years thinking they were the problem; they were not.
My trousers always gape at the back waist. Will this fix it?
Yes, directly. Back-gape is the classic sign of a waist cut too big relative to your hips. Because we cut the waistband to your actual waist, it sits flat against your back with no gap, even when you sit down, and you confirm exactly that on the free test garment before we cut your final cloth.
I have never bought trousers I could not try on first. How do I know they will fit?
Because you do try them on first. We make a free test pair in a stand-in cloth to your measurements and post it to you. You put them on, sit down, walk, check the waist, rise, hips, and length, and send us notes and photos. Only once you are happy do we cut your final fabric, so the finished trousers are a fit you have already approved.
I am between sizes and always end up altering everything. Will this be any different?
Completely, because there are no sizes to fall between. You send your measurements, we cut to them exactly, and the free test garment confirms the fit, so you receive trousers that are already right rather than a compromise you have to pay a tailor to fix afterwards.
I am nervous I will measure the waist, hips, or rise wrong.
You do not have to be exact. Our guide walks you through each measurement, a friend or a local tailor can help, and if you are unsure you can send your best numbers. The free test garment is there to catch anything slightly off, we see the fit on your body and adjust, so a first-try measurement is completely normal.
What if they arrive and something is still not right?
The final pair is cut to the exact fit you approved on the test garment, so surprises are rare by design. If a small tweak is ever needed, the finished trousers carry seam allowances at the waist and seat so a local tailor can fine-tune them, and you can always contact us and we will help make it right.
It feels like a lot for a pair of trousers made just for me. What is my safety net?
Nothing final is cut until you have approved the fit on the free test garment, so you are not gambling on a pair you have never seen on your body. And trousers that finally fit your waist and hips get worn constantly, so they tend to cost far less per wear than the ill-fitting pairs that never leave the wardrobe.
What if my weight changes later?
Your finished trousers are made with seam allowances, so a local tailor can take them in or let them out at the waist and seat within reason if your shape shifts. And we keep your measurements on record, so ordering another pair that fits is simple whenever you want one.
