Aleks Trousers
The Aleks is our best-selling model and the style we launched with. It boasts four, inward-facing deep pleats and is cut to sit higher on the waist. Like all Kit Blake trousers, it does not require a belt and has side adjusters. The profile of the Aleks is quite full in the thigh with a natural taper to the hem. Gentlemen with an athletic figure of slim waist and well-developed thigh and/or calf muscles appreciate this cut but it is by no means a necessity.
If you are in-between sizes, we would recommend going up a size and pulling the adjusters in a little closer if needed. There is the option of wearing braces and we have thoughtfully placed buttons inside the waistband to secure proper button-on braces.
Grant Trousers
The Grant (formerly Slim Aleks) is based on the Aleks and has the same rise (how high the trouser sits on the waist) and deep pleats but a more pronounced taper to a narrower hem. They are approximately 2” narrower at the hem and 1” slimmer in the thigh. Unless you have very athletic thighs and calves, you will wear the same size as the Aleks.
If you are in-between sizes, we would recommend going up a size and pulling the adjusters in a little closer if needed.
Duke Trousers
The Duke is our single-pleated version of the Aleks, however, due to the single pleat, it has a slightly more tapered leg.
The single deep pleat faces outwards in what we used to call the “Italian” way and gives a sharp, clean definition to the front crease without excess bagginess. Ideal for cautious dressers or conservative business environments, they are a good introduction to pleated comfortable trousers.
If you are in-between sizes, we would recommend going up a size and pulling the adjusters in a little closer if needed.
Caine Trousers
The Caine is our flat-fronted model and sits lower on the waist than our pleated models but still sits well above the hips. They have a slim fit, without being skinny.
We recommend all customers size up in the Caine trousers as they fit smaller than other Kit Blake trousers.
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.
