Description
The Mitchell trousers offer a contemporary twist to the classic pleated pants. Elegant yet comfortable, they come with distinctive features and are sure to become your favourite!
The Mitchell Trousers have a high-waisted design with a fly front zipper and a concealed waistband facing for a seamless silhouette through the rise. You can choose between a concealed pants hook and bar or a traditional button closure. The front has deep pleats enclosing an exclusive angled pocket, while the back has darts that shape the pants with the option of adding welt pockets. View A has a tapered leg that ends at the ankle, while View B has a full-length wide leg with adjustable waist straps secured by D-rings or sliders.
