Aleks Trousers

The Aleks is the original Kit Blake style. It features two inward facing deep pleats and is cut to sit higher on the waist. The leg is generous, with a classic, fuller fit. This is the style for those looking for something traditional and well proportioned. Like all Kit Blake trousers, it is designed to be worn without a belt, with side adjusters for comfort. We recommend wearing it with a two inch turn up, though this is down to preference. All trousers are delivered unfinished, to be altered to your desired length. If you are in-between sizes, we suggest taking the larger size and using the side-adjusters as needed.

Grant Trousers

The Grant is based on our Aleks style. Our best-selling style, it keeps the same high rise and two inward facing deep pleats, with a similarly generous fit, but with a more pronounced taper from the knee down. Most customers will take the same size as in the Aleks. Like all Kit Blake trousers, it is designed to be worn without a belt, with side adjusters for comfort. We recommend wearing it with a two inch turn up, though this is down to preference. All trousers are delivered unfinished, to be altered to your desired length. If you are in-between sizes, we suggest taking the larger size and using the side-adjusters as needed.

Duke Trousers


The Duke is our single pleat model. It is a good option for more conservative settings, or for those new to pleated trousers. The pleat is outward facing, and the fit sits between the Aleks and the Grant, with slightly less volume through the front. Like all Kit Blake trousers, it is designed to be worn without a belt, with side adjusters for comfort. We recommend wearing it with a two inch turn up, though this is down to preference. All trousers are delivered unfinished, to be altered to your desired length. If you are in-between sizes, we suggest taking the larger size and using the side-adjusters as needed.

Delon Trousers


Our new Delon style is based on our Duke trousers, but slimmer throughout the leg. It also features a single pleat, and is ideal for people who like pleated trousers, but prefer leaner trousers than our Aleks, Grant and Duke styles. The fit is slim throughout the whole leg. 

If you are in-between sizes, we would recommend going up a size and pulling the adjusters in a little closer if needed.

Windsor Shorts

The Windsor (formerly Short Aleks) are our double-pleated tailored shorts. They have an 8” in-seam and are finished with 1 5/8” cuffs. They are never lined nor do they have brace buttons.

If you are in-between sizes, we would recommend going up a size and pulling the adjusters in a little closer if needed.

Alterations

Tapering trousers is not a difficult or particularly expensive alteration and as all our trousers are supplied unhemmed, you can always ask your tailor to narrow the hem to suit your taste when having them finished. We are often asked how our trousers should be hemmed and there are many options to choose from but we always recommend a 2” cuff.

They talk about Kit Blake

"Kit Blake is the only brand in this (RTW trouser) guide dedicated to making trousers only. Their classic, Savile Row-inspired designs are made in Italy from British and Italian cloths, and sometimes it’s damn refreshing to try a product which is truly distinctive."

Permanent Style

"Kit Blake focus on expertly crafted garments, all made in Italy with the finest cloths from some of the most well-known English and Italian mills."

The Gentleman's Journal

"Tailored to a very high standard in true English style, there is probably no trouser more accomplished for all seasons."

The Rake Magazine

"That’s why we’re excited about Kit Blake: a relatively young menswear label (founded in 2018) that takes the mission of making beautiful tailored trousers to new heights – by pushing a quality product that is timeless and aesthetically pleasing, without compromising on price."

Boss Hunting

"A good pair of weighty flannel trousers are an essential for the AW season. They are versatile enough to take you to the office or around the park, depending on how you style them, and cosy enough to withstand the bitter winter wind. " 
Square Mile

" Kit Blake’s proposition was a standalone, ready-to-wear trouser of the kind that is increasingly difficult to find outside of bespoke: classic proportions, luxury fabrics and the styling cues of traditional English tailoring. "
