ENFANTS RICHES DEPRIMES

The absolute best pair of leather trousers that ERD has ever made. This example features a full silk lining (NOT the cupro lining that comes in their new leathers), five pockets, leather strap, D ring at the knee, functional zippers in the back, and ERD branded distressed zip pulls. The leather on these is hands down the best leather product I have ever owned. It somehow manages to feel soft and supple while still being thick and durable. I don't have to mention it because you can see in the pictures, but the full grain on these is absolutely stunning and screams "quality". Whatever tannery made this leather deserves an award. These trousers are Henri Levy's take on the 1976 Vivienne Westwood Seditionaries "Bondage Suit" trousers. They feature a few notable improvements: the slim cut is incredibly cool, and made better by the functional zippers that allow the wearer to tighten up the fit while they are worn; the football shaped inserts behind the knee allow for the leather to gather slightly there while maintaining a slim fit through the rest of the leg; the bondage strap is MUCH more wearable because it affixes to a belt loop and the D ring at the knee instead of across the legs; and of course the beautiful leather is a great stand in for the sateen of the original Westwood trousers (I think its fantastic that they spared no expense in making the legs out of long single panels of leather with no knee seam to interrupt the leather gathering).
