LA HAINE INSIDE US 3B M1117 Over Trousers - Mud Cotton Stretch Gabardine Cold-Dyed Velvet Men's
Mud. Cold-Dyed Twice. Gabardine and Velvet, Each Answering Differently.
The LA HAINE INSIDE US 3B M1117 in mud is the same dual-fabric over-trouser construction as the black — stretch cotton gabardine body, cold-dyed velvet inserts at the outer leg panels, elastic waistband, removable sash, bottom hem zippers — in a colourway that changes the conversation between the two fabrics. In black, the gabardine and velvet read as the same colour, the contrast purely textural. In mud, the cold dye process applied to two different surfaces — woven gabardine and pile velvet — produces two distinct mud registers: the gabardine's mud is warm and flat; the velvet's mud is deeper and slightly variable across the pile. The panel boundary between them is visible as both texture and tone. Made in Italy. Italian avant-garde. Fall/Winter 25/26.
Why These Over Trousers Are Different
- Mud colourway — cold dye on two fabrics: Cold dyeing in mud produces a result that reads differently on gabardine (flat, warm, consistent) and on velvet pile (deeper, variable across the pile height) — unlike the black version where colour unity unifies the two fabrics visually, mud allows the cold dye variation to be present as a tonal register difference between the panels
- Stretch cotton gabardine body: Gabardine's twill weave creates a clean, structured leg line with natural forward-break; the stretch content allows movement without diagonal pull at the knee and thigh; the mud reads as a warm, dusty earth tone at the flat woven surface
- Cold-dyed velvet inserts: Velvet at the outer leg panels, cold-dyed to the same mud chemistry as the gabardine; the pile absorbs the mud dye at different rates from crown to base, producing a velvet that reads as a deeper, richer mud than the gabardine body; the panel boundary is visible as tone as well as texture
- Elastic waistband: No traditional structured waistband — the elastic sits flat and accommodates the body without waistband tension; the over-trouser silhouette sits at the natural waist without constraint
- Removable sash: Worn, the sash defines the waist and creates a gathered front silhouette; removed, the trouser reads as a clean vertical over-trouser; two distinct silhouettes in the same construction; in mud, the sash adds a tonal layering element at the waist
- Bottom zipper details: Hem zippers at the ankle allow the leg opening to be narrowed or released; closed, the trouser breaks clean; open, the slit changes the proportion of the leg silhouette and reveals the lining at the ankle
- Side and leg pockets: Functional storage integrated without disrupting the outer leg silhouette; velvet insert panels positioned to maintain pocket access at the outer leg face
- Made in Italy: LA HAINE INSIDE US Italian production — dual-fabric construction with multiple functional details built to Italian tailoring standards
- Unlike the M1117 black where the construction statement is purely tactile (two fabrics, one colour), the mud colourway makes the dual-fabric construction partially visible — the cold dye differential between gabardine and velvet adds a tonal dimension to the panel contrast

The Moment You Put Them On
The gabardine holds the leg — structured and warm, the mud reading as a dusty earth tone in the flat woven surface. The velvet inserts at the outer leg are a deeper mud: where the gabardine reflects ambient light flatly, the pile absorbs it into its depth and gives it back at a richer register. The panel boundary is there to see in good light — not a dramatic contrast, but a visible one, a tonal step between two surfaces that were dyed with the same chemistry and answered differently. The sash adds a third mud element at the waist when worn, the elastic gives without restriction. The hem zippers are open or closed depending on the footwear and the occasion.
This is the LA HAINE INSIDE US over-trouser for the season's warm-tone palette.
The Art of Cold Dye in Mud Across Two Fabrics
Cold dyeing in mud — an earthy, warm-toned colour in the brown-grey-taupe register — produces a result on stretch cotton gabardine and velvet pile that diverges more visibly than it does in black. In black, both fabrics absorb the dye to a depth that reads as colour-unified; tonal variation between fabrics is present but subtle. In mud, the relative dye depth matters more: the gabardine's woven flat surface accepts the mud chemistry and reads it as a consistent warm tone; the velvet's pile structure accepts the mud at the pile crown and the pile base at different rates, with the pile base receiving more dye than the tip, inverting the typical light-reflection pattern of the pile and producing a mud that reads as warmer, richer, and slightly variable across the surface. The cold dyeing process itself — applied at low temperature — amplifies this differential because lower temperatures slow dye fixation and allow dye concentration differences between fibre types and surface geometries to have a greater effect on the final colour. The result in the M1117 mud is a trouser where the gabardine body reads as one mud and the velvet inserts read as a related but distinct mud — the same dye bath, two different outcomes. As with all LA HAINE INSIDE US cold-dye pieces, the low-temperature process uses substantially less thermal energy than conventional dyeing and produces surface character that hot dyeing cannot replicate.
How to Wear Them
- With sash tied, hem zippers closed: The gathered waist and clean ankle break in mud — the warm earth tone reads as a considered palette choice against black, ivory, or dark green; the velvet panels visible as a tonal deepening at the outer leg; pair with a fitted LA HAINE INSIDE US knit in a neutral or contrasting tone
- Without sash, hem zippers closed: Clean over-trouser silhouette, uninterrupted mud from waist to hem; the velvet panels as a quiet tonal detail; pairs with volume-neutral tops for a contemporary autumn look
- Without sash, hem zippers open: The released hem slit changes the trouser's proportion; the mud colourway works particularly well with open hems over raw-edge or heavy footwear
- As a palette anchor in a warm-tone look: Mud as the trouser base with warm grey, ivory, or deep green above — the gabardine-velvet tonal contrast at the leg adds material depth to an already considered colour register
Care Instructions
- Dry clean recommended — the dual-fabric construction and cold-dyed finish require handling that machine washing cannot provide; the velvet pile in mud is particularly sensitive to agitation and heat, which can crush the pile and alter the cold dye tonal character
- If machine washing is necessary: cold water, delicate cycle, inside out, mesh laundry bag; do not wring or spin at high speed
- Do not tumble dry — hang to dry on a padded hanger away from direct sunlight; the mud cold dye finish is sensitive to UV exposure which can fade the warm tone unevenly
- 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 prevent pile crushing at the velvet panels and maintain the gabardine trouser crease
