Made in England, following an original 1930s pattern, The Donington Slacks are the quintessential addition to your wardrobe.
Made from a stunning 100% cotton twill in black , The Donington Slacks are an absolute must.
The cut is directly taken from an original pattern, capturing the elegance and timelessness of early 20th century fashion. We are delighted to expand on our iconic trouser range.
Cut with a high waist and with flattering double forward-facing pleats, the slacks are finished with an authentic button fly, single waist fastening and belt loops.
Also hidden away in the trouser pocket is a 'secret' pocket, with button fastening. Perfect for storing valuables and change.
The slacks are cut to a wide leg, measuring 10 inches wide at the ankle, with a 2 inch turn up. Available in two finished leg options.
The cotton twill is a perfect all year round wardrobe option.
No detail has been left to chance, with even the buttons being made in England from a natural and eco-friendly material called 'Corozo', otherwise known as 'vegetable ivory'. Corozo is derived from the nut of the Tagua Palm which grows in the equatorial rainforests of central America and Ecuador. As the ‘mococha’ nut falls to earth quite naturally when they are ripe, it means that there is no human harvesting or cutting of any part of the tree to make our buttons, which blissfully lives on regardless to continue growing and producing nuts for years to come.
The slacks take their name from the inter-war motorcircuit near Castle Donington in the Midlands.
Donington Park was the first permanent park circuit in England, with the first initial motor cycle race taking place in May 1931. In 1933, the track that exists today was created and The First Donington Park Trophy Race was held for motor cars in October 1933.
In 1935 the first 300-mile (480 km) Donington Grand Prix was won by Richard "Mad Jack" Shuttleworth.
