3M M1338 Trousers - Black Regular Fit Embossed Stretch Fleece Drawstring Italian Men's
Soft Cloth, Hard Line
Regular-fit trousers in embossed stretch fleece, black, with a wide elasticated waistband and drawstring. The embossing presses relief into the surface so the fabric reads as texture rather than as sweatpant. Made in Italy by LA HAINE INSIDE US, the comfort of fleece with the discipline of tailoring.
Why These Trousers Are Different
- Embossed fleece — relief pressed into the cloth gives the black depth and structure. Unlike a plain sweatpant, these carry surface interest without a single logo.
- Regular fit — a clean straight leg, relaxed but never shapeless, so they read as trousers rather than loungewear.
- 38% cotton in the blend — natural breathability against the skin, balanced with polyester for shape retention.
- 2% elastane — where a rigid trouser restricts the knee, this gives and recovers all day.
- Wide elasticated waistband with drawstring — sits flat, adjusts to you, no hardware digging in.
- Brushed fleece inside — warmth you feel on contact, at a fraction of the weight of a woven winter trouser.
- Sized S to XXL — a genuinely broad range, cut consistently across it.
- Total black, no logos — pure silhouette and texture, nothing to date it.
- Made in Italy — Italian construction and finishing throughout.

The Moment You Put It On
The inside is brushed, so the first thing you register is warmth. The waistband settles wide and flat, the leg falls straight, and the embossed surface catches light in a low repeating pattern that keeps the black from going dead.
Then you wear them somewhere you would not wear sweatpants, and nobody reads them as sweatpants. That is the whole point. Where standard fleece trousers force a choice between comfort and looking dressed, these quietly refuse to make it.
The Art of Embossing
Embossing presses a pattern into the finished cloth under heat and pressure, permanently deforming the pile so the relief holds through washing rather than sitting on the surface like a print. On fleece it does two things at once: it adds visual structure to a fabric that is usually flat, and it slightly compacts the face, which is what stops the trousers reading as gym wear. It cannot be rushed, and it cannot be undone.
The Art of Cotton-Blend Fleece
Fleece is brushed on the inner face to raise a pile that traps warm air, which is why it insulates so well for its weight. Holding 38% cotton in the blend keeps that inner face breathable and soft against the skin, where a pure polyester fleece can feel airless over long wear. The polyester majority keeps the shape and the embossing intact, and the 2% elastane stops the knee and seat from bagging out.
How to Wear It
- Everyday: with a heavy tee and boots, drawstring loose, clean straight leg.
- Sharp daytime: with a fitted knit tucked in and the waistband drawn, so the line stays defined.
- Travel: warm, stretchy and comfortable for hours in a seat, and they shrug off creasing.
- Evening: under a long black coat, the embossed texture reading against smoother outerwear.
Care Instructions
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, inside out, to protect the embossed surface.
- Wash with similar dark colours.
- Do not bleach.
- Do not tumble dry on high heat — heat degrades the elastane and can flatten the embossing.
- Do not iron the embossed face; if truly needed, press on low inside out.
- Tie the drawstring before washing so it does not pull out of the channel.
- Line dry in shade and reshape the waistband while damp.
- Fold to store; hanging by the waistband stretches the elastic over time.
