GIVN HELGE chino in organic cotton flannel
A pair of smart trousers that are just as comfortable as the pair you actually prefer to wear at home: that’s the GIVN HELGE. These men's trousers are made of soft 100% organic cotton flannel and feature a relaxed fit that feels roomy without being excessively wide.
The classic waistband, belt loops, and zipper and button closure give HELGE the look of a chino. There is elastic at the back of the waistband, which allows the trousers to move more comfortably and prevents them from suddenly "needing extra room" after lunch.
We offer HELGE in two colors: BROWN and ANTHRACITE.

Cotton flannel, not wool
Many people automatically associate flannel with wool, but flannel refers to the soft, lightly brushed finish of the fabric. HELGE is made of 100% organic cotton and therefore contains no wool.
The flannel fabric feels warmer and softer than a smooth cotton chino. This makes these trousers especially pleasant during autumn and winter, as well as on cool spring days. You get the cozy feel of flannel, but in a pair of trousers that you can still easily wear to work or out to dinner.
Roomy without being huge
HELGE has a regular fit. The trousers fall in a relaxed way around the hips and legs, but are not so wide that you feel like each pant leg occupies its own separate space. The legs taper gently downwards, giving the trousers a modern, loose silhouette.
The waist sits at a normal height. At the front, HELGE features a classic chino closure with a button and zip. The elasticated section at the back provides extra comfort and ensures the waistband moves better with you.
Thanks to the belt loops, you can also wear HELGE with a belt. This combines the convenience of an elasticated waist with the polished look of regular dress trousers or chinos.
BROWN or ANTHRACITE?
BROWN is a deep, calm shade of brown. It’s warm and a little different from blue, gray, or black, yet still very easy to combine. Looks beautiful with cream, dark blue, green, rust, beige, and actually anything that has an autumnal, cozy feel.
ANTHRACITE is a dark, heathered gray tone that matches almost everything. It is slightly softer than black, making it easy to wear both in smart and sporty settings.
Combine HELGE with a shirt or a fine-knit sweater for a neat outfit, or wear it with a sweatshirt, fleece vest, or a chunky knit for a more relaxed look.

For the best sizing advice, lay a pair of trousers that fit you well flat and measure them in the same places. Keep in mind that the back of the waistband is elastic and therefore has some give.
Organic cotton with GOTS certification
The cotton in HELGE is organically grown. Furthermore, the trousers are GOTS-certified under number CU 1094696. The Global Organic Textile Standard sets requirements not only for the use and processing of organic fibers but also for environmentally hazardous substances and social conditions within the production chain.
While a label doesn't make a new pair of trousers completely impact-free, GOTS does provide more control over the origin and processing of the cotton and the conditions under which the product is made.
Fairly made in Portugal
HELGE is produced in Paredes, Portugal. By keeping production within Europe, GIVN can work more closely with the manufacturer, and production chains remain more transparent.
The trousers are also designated as PETA-Approved Vegan. This means no ingredients of animal origin have been used in this product.
How to care for cotton flannel
Wash HELGE only when necessary and always check the wash label beforehand. Turn the trousers inside out and use a mild detergent. This keeps the soft surface of the flannel looking nice for longer and protects the color.
Preferably let the trousers air dry. High temperatures and frequent use of a tumble dryer can cause cotton to shrink and cause the soft flannel finish to wear out faster. Hanging them out for a while is also often enough if the trousers just need a little refreshing.
