Curator's DescriptionDiscover the Sartoria Voglio Stone Grey Holland and Sherry Cotton Twill Sartorial Trousers. Holland and Sherry is one of the founding names of the British cloth trade, established in London in 1836 and supplying the tailors of Savile Row and the great bespoke houses of Europe for nearly two centuries, the merchant's reputation built on sourcing cloth of a quality that the market's best makers reach for when the standard of the material cannot be a secondary consideration. In cotton twill the house applies the same principle it brings to its wools: the fibre selected for its quality and the weave constructed with the evenness and precision that distinguishes a cloth made to a high standard from one made to a price. The twill construction gives the cotton a diagonal structure that adds strength and a quiet surface relief to the stone grey ground, the weave also contributing the natural drape and recovery that a plain-woven cotton does not carry, the trouser holding a clean line through a day's wearing without the creasing that lesser cotton cloths invite. Stone grey is a tone that sits between the warmth of beige and the coolness of grey without committing fully to either, the colour reading as composed and versatile across a wide range of wearing contexts, the cotton's soft touch giving the pale tone a lightness that suits both the cloth and the trouser's sartorial construction.
The trousers are cut with a single pleat at the rise, the pleat opening into the leg and allowing the Holland and Sherry cotton to move freely through the thigh. The extended waistband is finished by hand, the button closure rise completing the construction in the manner consistent with everything Sartoria Voglio brings to a trouser of this provenance.
Holland and Sherry cotton twill in a sartorial trouser is a cloth and a construction chosen by someone who knows what both are worth.
