THINKING MU micro-corduroy trousers FRIEND NAVY organic cotton

This is one of those trousers that proves you can look both comfortable and stylish at the same time. The FRIEND by THINKING MU is made from 100% organic cotton in a fine microcorduroy quality. Dark blue, pleasantly supple, and featuring that relaxed, slightly tapered fit that THINKING MU does so well.

And be sure to take a closer look at the fabric: this isn't a coarse corduroy, but microcorduroy. The ribs are very fine and subtle, giving the trousers a much cleaner and more modern look. A great pair of trousers for men who want something other than another pair of jeans, but don't want to go overboard either.

Why are the THINKING MU FRIEND trousers so great?

Because they sit perfectly between smart and casual. The FRIEND has plenty of room around the hips and thighs and tapers towards the ankles. This gives you that relaxed, slightly nonchalant shape without the trousers becoming overly baggy.

The dark blue colour also makes them incredibly easy to style. Sweater on top, shirt tucked in, T-shirt added: you're good to go.

What is microcorduroy?

Microcorduroy is essentially the refined sibling of classic corduroy. You recognise corduroy by the vertical ribs in the fabric. With microcorduroy, those ribs are much narrower and finer.

This makes the fabric feel wonderfully soft, while appearing less coarse than traditional corduroy. You get the warm, soft look of corduroy, but in a more subtle and modern version.

How do the THINKING MU FRIEND trousers fit?

The FRIEND has a relaxed fit with a tapered leg. There is plenty of room around the thigh, and the trousers become narrower as they go down. In the photos, you see them worn with a small cuff, which makes them look even more laid-back.

These are neither tight chinos nor wide dress trousers: they sit perfectly in between.

How do you style dark blue corduroy trousers?

Almost as easily as a pair of jeans. Dark blue combines beautifully with ecru, grey, green, camel, and burgundy. Wear them with a chunky knit cardigan or a wool sweater for a great autumn and winter look, or just with a T-shirt and sneakers if you want to keep it simple.

With a shirt and smart shoes, you can also dress the FRIEND up surprisingly well. That’s exactly what we love about these trousers: they are truly versatile.

What is the THINKING MU FRIEND made of?

The trousers are made of 100% organic cotton. No polyester or other synthetic fibres added, just cotton. The microcorduroy weave gives the fabric its soft, characteristic structure.

How do you wash organic cotton corduroy trousers?

Wash the FRIEND at a low temperature, preferably inside out and with similar dark colours. Do not use fabric softener, and try to avoid the tumble dryer. Just let them air dry; both the cotton and the beautiful rib structure will stay in better condition for longer.

And the same applies here: don't throw them in the washing machine after every wear. Often, simply airing them out is more than enough.
