ALMA & LOVIS CABLECORD BALSAM organic cotton corduroy trousers

Corduroy. All over again. Love. And yes: here is another pair of trousers from ALMA & LOVIS that are comfortable, yet look perfectly put-together. The CABLECORD is a modern 7/8 culotte made from soft wide-wale corduroy, crafted from 100% organic cotton.

The BALSAM color is a soft, greyish green shade. Quiet enough to wear with anything, but definitely not boring. The wide wale gives the fabric character and a subtle sheen, while the wide, straight legs create a cool and modern silhouette.

A culotte that stays contemporary

When people hear the word "culotte," some still think of prim three-quarter trousers that come with a museum membership card. Fortunately, this pair is in a different league. The wide, straight legs and the sturdy corduroy make these trousers cool and contemporary.

The 7/8 length highlights your shoes perfectly. Pair them with ankle boots and a chunky knit sweater, wear them with sneakers and a simple shirt, or dress them up with a blouse. The BALSAM color looks stunning with neutral tones, dark blue, eggplant, rust brown, and other shades of green.

Fit and sizing advice

The CABLECORD has a mid-waist fit and runs slightly small. Choose your usual size if you consistently wear one size. If you are between sizes or unsure, order the larger size.

The fabric is 100% cotton and contains no elastane. Do not expect stretchy trousers that cling to everything; the fit should feel comfortable as soon as you put them on.

Measurements in size 36: side length excluding waistband is approximately 91 cm and inseam is approximately 69 cm. How the 7/8 length falls on you will naturally depend on your height and leg length.

Soft wide-wale organic cotton corduroy

These trousers are made from organic cotton from controlled biological cultivation. Cotton is breathable, strong, and pleasant to wear. The wide wale gives the fabric more structure than fine corduroy, but it does not feel stiff thanks to its soft finish.

Because the fabric is pure cotton, it may become slightly more supple with wear. After washing, the material usually returns to its original shape. Avoid unnecessary washing; airing out the trousers is often enough when they are still clean and fresh.

How to care for corduroy

Wash the trousers inside out at a maximum of 30 degrees using a delicate wash program with a low spin cycle. Do not use too much detergent, do not bleach, and do not tumble dry. Let the trousers air dry and iron them without steam if necessary.

By washing corduroy inside out, you protect the ribs from friction and keep the color vibrant for longer. Do not overstuff the washing machine. The trousers don't mind company, but they don't need a group hug with towels, jeans, and five zippers.
