LA HAINE INSIDE US 3B M1118 Regular Trousers - Mud Cold-Dyed Velvet Cotton Pinces Men's

All-Velvet. Cold-Dyed Mud. The Warm Tone in Pile.

The LA HAINE INSIDE US 3B M1118 in mud is the same all-velvet regular trouser construction as the black: 98% cotton, 2% elastane, cold-dyed pile fabric throughout, pinces at the front panel, elastic waistband, button closure. The material story is the same; the colourway changes the conversation. In black, cold-dyed velvet reads as a deep, variable darkness that the pile absorbs and holds. In mud — a warm earthy tone in the brown-grey-taupe register — the cold dye process produces a result where the pile depth registers as warmth: the pile base holds a richer, denser mud than the pile crown, which reads slightly lighter and warmer. The velvet surface in mud shifts with light direction as it does in black, but the shift is between registers of a warm earth tone rather than degrees of darkness. Made in Italy. Italian avant-garde. Fall/Winter 25/26.

Why These Trousers Are Different

• All-velvet construction in mud: 98% cotton, 2% elastane pile fabric throughout the entire trouser in cold-dyed mud — the warm earth tone applied to a pile surface that engages with it differently from a flat woven or knit fabric; the pile holds the mud at different depths from crown to base, producing a surface that reads as warm and dimensional rather than flat
• Cold-dyed velvet in mud: Cold dyeing in mud on velvet pile produces a result where the pile crown accepts the dye at a lighter rate than the pile base — the mud reads as a gradient from lighter-warmer at the crown to richer-deeper at the pile base, a tonal depth invisible in standard-dyed velvet; each piece carries cold-dye variation unrepeatable across the production run
• Mud as a velvet colourway: Velvet's pile surface is particularly effective in warm earth tones because the pile's light-absorbing depth adds richness to colours that might read as flat or dusty in woven fabrics; the mud cold dye in velvet reads as a complex, warm surface rather than a simple earthy colour
• 98% Cotton, 2% Elastane: Maximum natural cotton content with the minimum elastane required for pile movement recovery under daily knee and hip flexion — the pile flexes without permanent distortion, the backing recovers after each extension
• Pinces construction: Formal tailoring detail applied to an all-velvet trouser in a warm earth tone — the pinces create volume at the hip that releases through the thigh; the pleat fold presses the mud velvet pile into a crease that is present at the front and read as a tailoring element in an unconventional material
• Elastic waistband: No structured waistband construction; the elastic sits flat and accommodates the body without constraint; a casual waist treatment that contrasts the formal pinces and velvet material
• Regular fit: Straight leg silhouette from hip to hem; the velvet's weight pulls the leg line clean; the mud reads consistently from hip to hem without the directional fading of a woven dyed fabric
• Made in Italy: LA HAINE INSIDE US Italian production — all-velvet regular trouser in a cold-dyed warm tone, built to Italian tailoring standards
• Unlike the M1118 black (same construction, cold dye reads as degrees of darkness) and the M1117 mud (dual-fabric: gabardine body + velvet inserts, over-trouser silhouette), the M1118 mud is the all-velvet warm-tone trouser — the complete velvet surface in mud, the formal pinces in an earthy register

The Moment You Put Them On

Velvet contact in mud — the pile's warmth immediate and specific to this colour. The mud reads differently from the floor than from eye level: the pile catches light at the leg crown and releases it at the inner face, the warm earth tone shifting between registers as the leg moves. The pinces sit flat at the front, the pleat pressing the mud velvet into a defined crease. The elastic waist gives without the rigidity of a structured waistband. The straight leg falls from the hip to the hem, the velvet's natural weight maintaining the silhouette without intervention.

This is the all-velvet warm-tone trouser in the LA HAINE INSIDE US autumn range — the mud colourway that makes the pile's dimensional character fully visible.

The Art of Cold Dye in Mud on Velvet Pile

The mud colourway in velvet pile is a study in how warm earth tones engage with a three-dimensional fabric surface. In flat woven or knit fabrics, mud reads as a consistent earthy tone — warm, dusty, and flat. In velvet pile, the same dye chemistry produces a surface where the pile's three-dimensional structure distributes the mud unevenly: the pile crown — the visible tip of each pile fibre — receives less dye than the pile base, which sits closer to the backing and is exposed to the dye bath at higher concentration for longer. The result is a velvet where the mud at the pile crown reads as lighter and warmer, and the mud at the pile base reads as richer and deeper. In daylight, as the pile reflects and absorbs light depending on its orientation to the viewer, the mud surface shifts between these registers — a warm golden-brown in one angle, a deeper earthen brown in another. Cold dyeing amplifies this by slowing the dye process and allowing the concentration differential between pile crown and pile base to have a greater effect on the final colour. The 98% cotton pile accepts the mud dye readily; the 2% elastane in the backing resists it slightly, adding a thread-level tonal variation to the base structure. Each M1118 mud is a specific mud: the same dye bath, a different result in every piece. As with all LA HAINE INSIDE US cold-dye pieces: low thermal energy, unrepeatable finish, Italian production.

How to Wear Them

• With a warm-tone LA HAINE INSIDE US knit: The mud velvet trouser as the lower anchor in a warm-tone look — the pile's dimensional warmth against the knit's surface; the pinces visible as a formal element beneath a casual upper
• With the M1117 mud over-trouser: Two mud colourways in the same LA HAINE INSIDE US range — the M1118's all-velvet mud regular trouser and the M1117's gabardine-velvet mud over-trouser; the regular trouser's complete velvet surface against the over-trouser's velvet insert panels; two mud pieces with different material expressions of the same colour
• For evening in a warm-tone palette: The velvet pile reads as dressed in ambient light; the mud colourway works in candle or warm artificial light as a rich, dimensional earth tone; the elastic waist provides comfort across extended evening wear
• With black or ivory above: The mud velvet as the palette's warm anchor against a neutral upper — the cold-dyed variation in the pile visible against a flat-toned top; the pinces adding a tailoring element to a palette-led look

Care Instructions

• Dry clean recommended — all-velvet construction in a cold-dyed warm tone; the mud pile is sensitive to agitation, heat, and UV exposure which can shift the warm tone unevenly
• If machine washing is necessary: cold water, delicate cycle, inside out, mesh laundry bag; do not wring; the pile temporarily flattens but recovers with steaming
• Do not tumble dry — hang to dry on a padded hanger, pile facing away from contact surfaces; high heat crushes velvet pile permanently and can alter the cold dye mud tone
• Keep away from direct sunlight during drying and storage — UV exposure fades warm earth tones in velvet unevenly and alters the cold dye variation across the pile surface
• Steam from a distance to restore pile direction after washing or storage; hold the steamer 10–15 cm from the surface without direct contact
• Do not iron directly on the pile; iron the waistband and lining areas only, with a cloth barrier, on low heat
• Store hanging on a padded hanger — do not fold; folding velvet creates permanent pile crush marks at the fold line
