These Grant Cricket Ecru Wool Flannel Trousers are made in an ecru cloth woven in the UK by Fox Brothers, in 100% superfine Merino wool.
This special cloth is woven in the UK by Fox Brothers, the English woollen mill established in Somerset in 1772, who is credited with being the originator of fine woollen and worsted flannels and are still said to produce the best in the world.
Cricket trousers were originally made in an off-white flannel cloth and Fox Brothers still produce a cloth today inspired by those traditionally worn by the players. However these days, this beautiful ecru flannel cloth is more at home on the streets of London or in the countryside, than on the cricket field. Like all Kit Blake trousers, these are made in Italy and feature our signature side-adjusters. We've made this pair in our Aleks model, which is a classic double pleat with a fuller cut, and as always, we recommend wearing them with a 2-inch cuff.
The model in the video is 186CM / 6' 1", and he wears a size 32 in all Kit Blake trousers, finished with a 32' inseam.

About the Aleks style:
The Aleks is our best-selling model and the original style we launched the brand with. It boasts four, inward-facing deep pleats and is cut to sit higher on the waist. The leg is generous, in a classic fit. This is the trouser for those looking for a beautiful, traditional trouser. Like all Kit Blake trousers, the trousers do not require a belt due to having side-adjusters. We recommend that these trousers are worn with a turn-up cuff, but it is up to the client’s preference. Note all of the trousers come unfinished to have them altered to your desired length. If you are in-between sizes, we would recommend going up a size and pulling the adjusters in a little closer as needed.
If you are unsure of your size, or in-between sizes, you should size-up. Please contact us at enquiries@kitblake.com if you have any questions.
