Newspeak Balloon Trousers Wool Grey

Newspeak Balloon Trousers Wool Grey, an experimental volume cut style unisex trouser.

Made from a heavyweight classic English coating wool, these balloon trousers in grey are ideal to weather the colder seasons from Autumn till early Spring.

The pattern was created without a side seam, and has a dart construction from the waist to the knee on the side of the leg which directs volume to the bottom.

Additional features include outward curved seams aligned with the front pleat, and inward curved seams on the back. The waist is finished with a drawcord, making the size adjustable. 

Afore mentioned construction details create a bottom-heavy trouser that sits elegantly on the waist but balloons out in an organic shape towards the bottom. 

I've been working with Stef and Veronica of Newspeak Studio since the Autumn of 2023, and it is interesting to follow their journey and progress. Giving talented and emerging designers a platform to showcase their skill and craft is a very rewarding partnership. I've selected these Balloon Trousers specifically as I am a fan of the wide fitting pants that Newspeak Studio designs, often in style that blends perfectly well with tailored pieces but allows enough creativity for casual mixing as well.

Newspeak Studio was founded in 2023 by Stef Reijnierse and Veronica Perjan. Based on extensive research of "Western Culture" tailoring and workwear garments from the 1870s onwards, their aim is to continuously redefine elegant nonchalance that withstand the test of time. Their atelier is based in The Hague, Netherlands.
