It features Temporal Works’ proprietary Nib hands—faceted like a fountain pen nib for legibility and texture along with a two-tone sector dial.

In celebration of The Armoury’s 15th anniversary, we’re proud to present special pieces that honor designs that have been integral to our journey since 2010. These jeans are crafted in limited numbers, celebrating our milestone year.

Pierre Fournier opened Anatomica in Paris, France to revive traditional European fashion that had been lost from the men’s fashion scene. He developed an “anatomical” collection that was concerned with history, tradition, and his own fit. The 11618 jeans are exclusive to The Armoury, with an updated fit to the traditional 618 silhouette. This model sits higher on the hips, with a slight taper towards the hem. The denim itself is woven in Okayama, Japan in a right hand twill weave that will develop a soft handle over time. Additionally, the stitching uses a specially developed thread with a polyester core wrapped in cotton, combining the soft, natural feel of cotton with the strength and durability of polyester.

The Real McCoy’s take inspiration from vintage Americana, going to extraordinary lengths to recreate period-accurate textiles and manufacturing methods for each garment. Each piece lives up to the historical standards and quality of their era.

The M-65 Field Jacket is iconic from it’s use on the battlefield, through pop culture and now to vintage collectors over 60 years later. It is the definitive field jacket and one of the signifying designs in menswear history. The Real McCoy’s have taken the original and examined the details down to the finest points, recreated from deadstock parts and manufactured their own cloth to be as close to the original as possible.

In a special collaboration, The Real McCoy’s help us put our own twist on the tried and true design. Based on the First Pattern M-65, we removed the velcro badge holders from the chest panel and added M-51 style cuffs. The standout change is our new original color: dark navy, a departure from the typical olive green seen on most examples.

If you were shopping for a new trouser wardrobe a hundred years ago, you could get everything you needed in about a day. The average man's wardrobe in the early 20th century was monastic by today's standards. Most men wore suits for both work and leisure, which meant their trousers were picked out for them. If they wanted to switch things up, they swapped out their suit pants for white flannels and white shoes.

A shift happened sometime around the 1920s. Ivy League students wanted something more comfortable they could wear for spectator sport. American soldiers returning home from Western Europe also raided department stores for sportier clothes. This was the start of sport coat culture — the first time odd jackets became widely adopted and, with it, the need for more trousers. By the 1970s, the number trouser options was downright dizzying, especially as designers came up with various weights, weaves, colors, fibers, and finishes for something a simple as a pair of pants.

The good news is that you can build a reliable trouser wardrobe if you stick to some fundamental principles. The first is to stay close to basic colors, namely grey and tan. These can be worn with almost any kind of jacket. Since tailored outfits typically keep the focus up top – centered on the v-shape created by a jacket, tie, and shirt – you want the trousers to be simple and visually undemanding.

"When a guy comes in, we always start with what they want to get out of their trouser wardrobe," says Alan See, The Armoury's co-founder. "A wardrobe built for a conservative business environment will be different from one primarily used for casual purposes. It also depends on the climate and the region."

Most people, however, will benefit from building out their grey trousers first. Year-round options can be found in Draper's Ascot book, which has four-ply worsteds in light- and mid-grey. Darker charcoal shades can be found in Draper's Five Star and Dugdale Bros’s New Fine Worsteds. "Charcoal trousers can be handy, but it's surprisingly hard to find good fabrics in this color,” says Mark Cho, the shop's other co-founder. “We like charcoals that have a bit of visual depth to them, so they don’t look flat.”

Once you have trousers that can work most of the year, it's time to get some seasonal variety. Hight-twist, open weave wools, such as those from Minnis Fresco and Holland & Sherry's Crispaire, are not only more durable, they're also breathable. "For summer weekends, it's chinos," adds Alan. "For more conservative guys, we recommend neutral shades in beige. But if a guy likes to wear more color in his wardrobe, we suggest khakis that have a slightly yellower cast. A warmer shade allows them to pair beige trousers with brighter colors." There's no shortage of suitable books when it comes to cotton. W. Bill, Holland & Sherry, Drapers, Brisbane Moss, and Spence Bryson all have attractive options.

"The thing about cotton is that you don't want to go too lightweight," says Mark. "Otherwise, chinos can end up looking like pajamas. Slightly heavier cotton will hold its shape better." Alan notes he especially likes the cottons in Brisbane Moss' Tennyson bunch, which are heavy enough to hold a crease.

The same concept applies for fall/winter. Grey and tan will always be your most versatile colors, but you’ll want something cozier for the weather. If you work in a conservative environment, there will always be a place for flannel and gabardine ("we like them in lighter weights in Hong Kong, given the humidity," says Alan). Cotton varieties such as moleskin, corduroy, and brushed cotton can then be used in more casual settings or the weekend. "The British are known for making flannels with a slightly colder, yellow cast, which looks great with black shoes," says Mark. "Fox Flannel and Holland & Sherry are particularly good. Especially in light- and mid-grey, where you can see more of the milling in the finish."

"Some guys find they wear trousers out quickly," says Mark. "For those guys, we often recommend high-twist wool in the summer and then a covert cloth in the winter. Covert cloth is a tightly woven twill, so it's hard-wearing. Holland & Sherry's Dakota bunch has some particularly nice shades that almost look like gabardine. Since covert, like gabardine, can look a bit shiny, I find they do better in lighter colors such as beige."

Once you have some solid greys and tans, you can expand your trouser wardrobe into different directions. "After beige, olive is a useful color, particularly in fabrics such as Fresco or cotton," says Mark. “The color looks great with cream or brown sports jackets. Navy can also be good, but you don't want to go too dark. Otherwise, they can look like orphaned suit pants. I like how dark blue trousers, ones that are just a shade darker than denim, look with grey sports jackets."

There are also very casual seasonal varieties. Flecked Donegal tweeds, especially in mid-brown, can be worn in the winter months. But, as Alan notes, you want something densely woven so it'll hold its shape. "Italian Donegals tend to be too loose for trousers, so they work better for jackets."

Mark also adds that, while he occasionally wears linen trousers with sport coats, he mostly uses the material for either suits or casual ensembles. "The heavier, the better," he adds. “The Irish linens are nice because they’re not too transparent.”

Style-wise, we like cotton trousers of any variety to be flat-front. "Sometimes it can be hard to make cotton pleats lay right," notes Mark. Wool trousers, on the other hand, can go either way. "With wool trousers, I prefer them to be pleated, but not too full across the lap," Mark continues. "With a pleat, you add just a little room to the top half of the trousers, which means you can still have a moderate leg opening and get a taper that adds shape. When trousers are too slim up top, you have to taper the leg more aggressively to achieve the same silhouette, which can look awkward at the bottom. It’s all about relative proportions.“

The standard Armoury style is also a little higher in the rise, something that sits above the hip bone, although a lot depends on the customer's body type and preferences. "It's about striking a balance," says Alan. "In the past, people also wanted very slim trousers, and we needed to push them towards something a little fuller so the pants would drape properly. But nowadays, we're seeing more people value comfort, so things are swinging back towards the middle of the road.“

Other details, such as the inclusion of side tab adjusters, belt loops, or suspender buttons, are just personal preference. Suspenders will make your trousers look their best, as they help them hang properly, but some men find them inconvenient or even archaic. Side tabs and belt loops can be good alternatives, with the side adjusters resulting in a cleaning looking line between the trouser and shirt. "Except for tuxedos, I always recommend getting cuffs though," says Mark. "The bit of weight allows the trousers to hang straighter." Plus, as Alan notes, most of our tailoring is Italian and will look better with cuffed hems.

“Sometimes a guy will come in and look at our ready-made trouser selection. A question we’ll often hear is, ‘what can these be worn with?” says Alan. "When in doubt, wear it with a navy sport coat. That almost always works."

Each pair is finished with handmade details, including handsewn button holes and bar tacks. Pommella uses premium fabrics from mills around the world. This model is made up in a 100% cotton moleskin fabric, which we had reversed in order to have the rough side of the cloth exposed for harder wearing, while the comfortable brushed side faces the interior. Inspired by Australian workwear trousers, this pair has been given more casual details, such as western style pockets and a clean front. These trousers are a perfect casual choice for the cooler months.

Our guide to building a wardrobe of classic trousers for all seasons.

Building a Basic Trouser Wardrobe

In the fall and winter months, navigating through the various materials available for sport coats can feel like almost second-nature. Many men are familiar with the virtues of tweed, flannel, and corduroy. But once the weather turns warm, things aren’t so clear. What’s the springtime equivalent of Thornproof or Donegal? Is linen right for sport coats or only suits?

With spring around the corner, we sat down with our co-founder Mark Cho to talk about what he thinks should be in a warm-weather sport coat wardrobe. For men who find themselves more in casual environments, having a few seasonal sport coats means being able to be dress for different situations. Mark discusses how to expand past the basics, as well as choose fabrics for a custom order this coming season.

A solid navy sport coat is the workhorse in your wardrobe. It’s something you can wear to business-casual offices, to special dinners, and even for travel. In the spring and summer months, however, you want something lightweight, airy, and breathable. “The problem with lightweight cloths is that sometimes they can get too thin and flat,” Mark explains. “This season, we found a deep navy twill that has a bit of texture, which will look more interesting in outfits, but still work for the warmer weather.” Our navy sport coats come in two designs: a flapped pocket version that’s a bit dressier, and then a patched pocket design that’s a bit more casual.

The Armoury’s own Model 3 sport coat features an unpadded shoulder and enlarged sleevehead giving the garment an exceptional range of motion. We’ve also widened the shoulders a touch and lowered the buttoning point and lapel notches to give the jacket a more timeless feel. The fabric is woven by Lanificio di Pray in northernmost Italy, close to the Swiss border. The wool/cotton blend provides a natural stretch that makes this an easy sport coat to wear through the warmer months.
