W5466 Trousers Regular Stretch Punto Milano Viscose Polyamide — Black Women's Italian
The Everyday Trouser, Built to Last.
The W5466 is a regular-fit trouser in stretch Punto Milano — a double-faced knit with the visual weight of tailoring and the comfort of a performance fabric. The composition is 64% viscose, 31% polyamide, 5% elastane: viscose for drape and sheen, polyamide for durability and recovery, elastane for stretch. A button and concealed zip closure at the front, an elasticated waist, and an elastic drawstring at the hem complete a trouser that is as considered in its construction as it is in its wearability. This is the trouser you reach for most — and the one that holds up longest.
Why This Trouser Is Different
- Stretch Punto Milano: A double-faced knit construction that produces a fabric with two smooth, identical surfaces — it lies flat, holds its shape, and resists creasing with the stability of a woven fabric and the comfort of a knit.
- Viscose-Polyamide Composition: 64% viscose, 31% polyamide, 5% elastane — the viscose gives the Milano stitch its characteristic drape and slight sheen; the polyamide (nylon) adds exceptional durability, abrasion resistance, and shape recovery; the elastane ensures the fabric stretches and returns without distortion.
- Polyamide Durability: At 31%, the polyamide content makes the W5466 significantly more durable than a pure viscose or cotton Milano stitch — the fabric resists pilling, abrasion, and deformation through extended wear and repeated washing.
- Button and Concealed Zip Closure: A tailoring-grade front closure — the zip is hidden behind a placket, the button sits flush. The W5466 has the finish of a considered garment.
- Elasticated Waist: Comfortable and adjustable, working in combination with the concealed closure for a precise fit.
- Elastic Drawstring at the Hem: The bottom of the trouser leg is finished with an elastic drawstring — a detail that allows the hem to be gathered or released, creating two different silhouettes from a single garment. Gathered, the leg tapers at the ankle; released, it falls straight.
- Regular Fit: Straight through the seat and thigh, tapering slightly toward the hem — a versatile silhouette that works across contexts.
- Functional Pockets: Integrated without disrupting the regular line.
- Made in Italy: Constructed in Italian ateliers with the Milano stitch expertise and closure precision that the W5466’s construction demands.

The Moment You Put Them On
The W5466 settles immediately — the Punto Milano is dense enough to feel substantial, elastic enough to move without resistance. The concealed zip closes cleanly, the button sits flush, and the elasticated waist adjusts to the body without rolling or digging. This is a trouser that disappears into the wearing — you stop thinking about it and start thinking about everything else.
The elastic drawstring at the hem is the detail worth exploring: gathered, the trouser leg tapers at the ankle, creating a more directional silhouette. Released, the leg falls straight and clean. Two looks, one garment — the W5466 adapts to the occasion rather than dictating it. In black, the Punto Milano surface has a subtle sheen from the viscose content — not flat, not matte, but present and considered.
The Art of Punto Milano
Punto Milano — Milano stitch — is a double-faced knit construction that produces a fabric with two smooth, identical surfaces. Unlike single-jersey knits that curl at the edges, Milano stitch lies flat and holds its shape with the stability of a woven fabric. In the W5466, the composition is 64% viscose, 31% polyamide, 5% elastane: the viscose provides the characteristic drape and sheen of the Milano stitch; the polyamide — also known as nylon — adds durability, abrasion resistance, and shape recovery that pure viscose cannot achieve; the elastane ensures the fabric stretches and returns without distortion through extended wear. The polyamide content at 31% is significant: it makes the W5466 one of the more durable Milano stitch garments in the LA HAINE INSIDE US range, resistant to pilling and deformation through repeated washing and wearing. This is a fabric used in premium knitwear and tailoring precisely because it bridges the gap between comfort and structure — a knit that behaves like a woven, a woven that feels like a knit.
How to Wear It
- Gathered Hem: Cinch the elastic drawstring at the hem and wear with ankle boots or chunky sneakers — the tapered leg creates a more directional silhouette, the Milano stitch holding the gathered shape cleanly.
- Straight Hem: Release the drawstring and wear with heeled mules or pointed-toe flats — the regular fit falls straight and clean, the concealed closure giving the trouser a tailored quality.
- Tailored Pairing: With a fitted blazer or structured jacket — the Punto Milano reads as semi-tailored and compatible with more formal upper pieces, the concealed zip maintaining the clean front line.
- Casual Authority: With an oversized knit or sweatshirt — the regular fit and Milano stitch ground the look with structure while the oversized upper adds ease.
Care Instructions
- Machine wash cold (30°C), gentle cycle
- Do not tumble dry — lay flat or hang to preserve the Milano stitch structure
- Cool iron if needed — do not iron at high heat
- Do not bleach
- Wash inside out to preserve colour depth and fabric integrity
