LA HAINE 3B M1117 Over Trousers - Black Cotton Stretch Gabardine Cold-Dyed Velvet Men's

Two Fabrics. One Silhouette. The Sash Is Optional. The Rest Is Not.

The LA HAINE INSIDE US 3B M1117 is an over trouser in stretch cotton gabardine with cold-dyed velvet inserts positioned at the outer leg panels. The gabardine provides structure, shape, and the clean forward-break of a tailored trouser leg; the velvet inserts — cold-dyed to the same black as the gabardine — add a tactile register that flat gabardine cannot achieve, with a pile surface that absorbs light differently from the woven body. The elastic waistband allows movement at the waist without waistband construction; the removable sash defines or releases the silhouette. Bottom zipper details at the hem allow the leg opening to be adjusted. Made in Italy. Italian avant-garde. Fall/Winter 25/26.

Why These Over Trousers Are Different

• Stretch cotton gabardine body: Gabardine's twill weave produces a clean, structured leg line with natural drape; the stretch content allows movement without the diagonal pull that rigid gabardine produces at the knee and thigh under flexion; the black is flat, matte, and holds its depth across the full leg length
• Cold-dyed velvet inserts: Velvet at the outer leg panels, cold-dyed to match the gabardine black; cold dyeing on velvet produces a black where the pile depth varies slightly across the surface — less uniform than standard velvet dyeing, more consistent with the LA HAINE approach of finish as identity; the pile absorbs light differently from the gabardine body, making the panel boundary visible as a textural rather than colour contrast
• Elastic waistband: No traditional waistband construction — the elastic waist sits flat and adjusts to the body without the stiffness of a structured waistband; the over-trouser silhouette sits above the hip without the constraint of a tailored waistband
• Removable sash: Worn tied, the sash defines the waist and creates a gathered silhouette at the front; removed, the trouser reads as a clean over-trouser with uninterrupted vertical lines from waist to hem; two distinct garment personalities in the same construction
• Bottom zipper details: Hem zippers at the ankle allow the leg opening to be narrowed or released; closed, the trouser breaks clean over the shoe; open, the hem extends with a slit that reveals the lower leg and changes the proportion of the silhouette
• Side and leg pockets: Functional pockets integrated without disrupting the clean outer leg line; the velvet insert panels are positioned to maintain pocket access without compromising the textural surface at the leg face
• Made in Italy: LA HAINE INSIDE US production — Italian construction standards applied to a dual-fabric over-trouser with multiple functional details
• Unlike standard tailored trousers which use a single woven fabric throughout, the M1117 applies two fabrics with opposing surface characters — structured gabardine and pile velvet — within a single trouser silhouette, the contrast visible only in texture, not in colour

The Moment You Put Them On

The gabardine holds the leg line from waist to hem — structured, forward-breaking, clean. The velvet inserts are present at the outer leg as a different weight and surface: the pile sits against the gabardine's woven flatness as a textural boundary you can trace with a hand but that reads as a single black to the eye at distance. The elastic waist gives without waistband tension. The sash, tied, gathers the front and changes the silhouette entirely; removed, the trouser reads as an uninterrupted vertical. The hem zippers at the ankle are a detail you use when you want them and ignore when you don't.

This is the LA HAINE INSIDE US over-trouser for the full range of what a day in autumn requires.

The Art of Cold-Dyed Velvet Against Gabardine

The combination of cold-dyed velvet and stretch cotton gabardine in the M1117 is a study in surface contrast within colour unity. Gabardine's twill weave creates a diagonal rib structure at the surface that reflects light in a consistent, directional pattern — the black reads as structured and matte. Velvet's pile structure — upright fibres cut at a consistent height above the backing — absorbs light into the depth of the pile rather than reflecting it at the surface, producing a black that is deeper and less directional than gabardine's. Cold dyeing on the velvet pile means the dye penetrates to different depths across the pile height, creating a black with tonal variation that standard dyeing does not produce. At the panel boundary where gabardine meets velvet, two different black surfaces meet: one woven, matte, and structured; one pile, deep, and variable. The eye reads both as the same colour while the surface tells two different material stories. This is the formal logic of the LA HAINE INSIDE US dual-fabric approach: colour unity, material complexity, construction as identity.

How to Wear Them

• With sash tied, hem zippers closed: The gathered front silhouette and clean ankle break — the M1117 at its most formal; velvet inserts visible as a textural panel at the outer leg, sash as a waist-defining element; pair with a fitted LA HAINE INSIDE US knit or structured jacket
• Without sash, hem zippers closed: Clean over-trouser silhouette, uninterrupted vertical lines; the velvet panels read as a quiet detail rather than a statement; pair with a volume-neutral top for a contemporary minimal look
• Without sash, hem zippers open: The released hem extends over the shoe with a slit; the silhouette becomes longer, more fluid; the gabardine drapes at the hem where the zipper allows it; an evening or high-fashion read of the same trouser
• Layered under a long LA HAINE INSIDE US coat: The over-trouser silhouette is designed to work under volume; the velvet insert panels visible at the leg below the coat hem; the sash optional depending on whether the coat is open or closed

Care Instructions

• Dry clean recommended — the dual-fabric construction (gabardine and velvet) requires separate-rate handling that machine washing cannot provide; the cold-dyed velvet pile is particularly sensitive to agitation and heat
• If machine washing is necessary: cold water, delicate cycle, inside out, mesh laundry bag; do not wring
• Do not tumble dry — hang to dry on a padded hanger away from direct sunlight; velvet pile can crush permanently under heat or direct drying tension
• Steam the velvet inserts from a distance to restore pile direction if crushed; do not iron directly on velvet
• Iron the gabardine panels on low heat from inside with a cloth barrier
• Store hanging on a padded hanger to maintain the gabardine's trouser crease and prevent pile crushing at the velvet panels
