Size Charts

Below are the size charts for all our trousers and our Windsor shorts. The measurements are set out in centimetres, please do reach out to us at enquiries@kitblake.com if you have any questions.
 

Grant Size Chart

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.

Aleks Size Chart

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.

Caine Size Chart

The Caine is our flat-fronted model and sits lower on the waist than our pleated models but still sits well above the hips.

We recommend all customers size up in the Caine trousers as they fit smaller than other Kit Blake trousers on the waist, and have a lean leg.

Duke Size Chart

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.

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 clothes 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. "
