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.

Description
Tailored Flare Trousers
Navy Tailored Flare Trousers in Sharkskin Wool
A flare looks polished or costume-like depending on two things: the cloth and the cut. In a soft, loose fabric it drifts toward the seventies. In a crisp suiting wool, fitted through the hip and thigh and opening from the knee, it reads as a sharp work trouser that lengthens the leg.
These are women’s navy tailored trousers with a flare: navy blue flare pants in sharkskin wool, the tailored flares that look right at work. As tailor made trousers they are cut to your measurements, in navy blue or another color in the selector, whether women call them trousers, pants or slacks. Navy is the dark blue of a classic suit, so these dark blue tailored trousers for women, navy dress pants or dark blue slacks if you prefer, read as smart navy tailored pants and navy blue bottoms at the office, and the tailored flare pants shape, which some call navy blue flared pants, adds length to the leg.
These flare trousers are made to your measurements in Super 120s sharkskin wool, a suiting cloth with a quiet two-tone sheen, in navy, blues and grays. Before we cut your wool, we send you a free test pair to try on at home, so the flare opens where it suits you.
Free Test Pair
A Free Test Pair Before We Cut Your Wool
A flare is decided at the knee and the hem. On the test pair you see exactly where the leg starts to open and how wide it falls over your shoes, and we change either before your sharkskin is cut.

Sharkskin Wool
What Sharkskin Wool Is, and Why It Suits a Flare
Sharkskin is not a material but a weave. Yarns of two tones, one lighter and one darker, are woven together so the surface looks like a fine, even texture that shifts slightly as the light moves. Up close it has a quiet two-tone sheen; from across a room it reads as a solid color.
Crisp enough to hold the line
The tight weave has body, so the flare falls in a clean shape from the knee instead of collapsing around the ankle.
Forgiving at work
The two-tone surface hides small creases from sitting and light lint better than a flat, dark cloth.
Super 120s wool
100% worsted wool with a smooth hand, lined at the front to just below the knee in the lining color you choose.
Flare for Work
How to Wear Tailored Flare Trousers to Work
| Shoes | A heel, a block heel or a pointed flat with a small heel. The hem should cover most of the shoe and sit about half an inch off the floor at the back; tell us the heel height so we can set it. |
| Tops | A tucked-in blouse or fine knit shows the fitted waist and balances the wider hem. The grip-lined waistband keeps it tucked in. |
| Jackets | A fitted jacket that ends at the hip keeps the proportions long. A cropped jacket works too; a very long, loose one hides the line. |
| Colors | Navy, Black and Dark Gray are the most formal. Slate Blue, Gray and Light Gray are lighter and work well in summer. |
Prefer a quieter opening? Our tailored bootcut trousers open more gently from the knee. For a leg that falls straight from hip to hem, see our formal pants for women.

Questions & Answers
Questions About These Tailored Flare Trousers
Q. Can I wear flare trousers to work?
A. Yes, when they are cut like these: a flat front, belt loops, welt back pockets and a crisp suiting wool. In Navy, Black or Dark Gray with a tucked-in blouse and a fitted jacket, a tailored flare looks as professional as a straight trouser.
Q. What is sharkskin wool?
A. A wool cloth woven from yarns of two tones, which gives it a fine texture and a subtle sheen that shifts in the light. These trousers are in 100% Super 120s worsted wool with a sharkskin weave.
Q. Is sharkskin shiny?
A. Only slightly. It has a soft luster up close, not a shine, and reads as a solid color from a few steps away. The darker colors, Navy and Black, show the least sheen.
Q. What is the difference between flare and bootcut trousers?
A. Both are fitted through the thigh. A flare opens more widely from the knee; a bootcut opens only slightly, so the hem is a little wider than the knee. If you want a gentler line, see our tailored bootcut trousers, or ask for a narrower flare in the comment box.
Q. What shoes go with flare trousers?
A. Heels or block heels suit a flare, because the hem is meant to cover most of the shoe. Tell us your heel height so we can set the length, and check it on the free test pair wearing those shoes.
Q. Do you make navy tailored trousers for women in other cuts, like a bootcut or straight leg?
A. Yes. These are cut with a flare, but you can ask for a bootcut or a straight leg in the same sharkskin in the comment box, and you will see the result on the test pair. For navy wide leg tailored trousers for women, or navy ankle length tailored trousers and ankle dress pants, write to us before you order and we will tell you honestly whether this sharkskin suits that cut.
Q. Are these trousers lined?
A. The front of each leg is lined to just below the knee in the lining color you choose. 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 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 any creases drop out.
Q. How wide is the flare?
A. It opens from the knee to a hem that is clearly wider than a bootcut but not as full as a wide leg or bell bottom. The exact width is set to your proportions on the test pair, and you can ask for it wider or narrower in the comment box.
Q. How much do these flare trousers cost?
A. They are $239 in any of the 8 sharkskin 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

Tapered and close-fitting through the hips, thighs, and legs. Designed to contour the lower body without excess fabric.
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.
