Waist

Curved waist band for better fit and no bunching of fabric

Rise

Medium rise, with some magic in the seat to be comfortable but not frumpy

Thigh

Flattering cut is neither too tight nor too loose

Inseam

Our pants come with a longer inseam than most guys need—34" for waist sizes up to 33, 36" for waist sizes 34 and above. We know that hemming is an extra step, but it is one that we believe is important for pants that break perfectly over your shoes.

Finish

Straight leg, a slightly more conservative take on our classic Bonobos style

Fabric

100% Wool

Color

Silver grey with light blue stripes

Time to throw a pair of Marlinspikes into your straight leg trouser quiver. Named in honor of the sleek steel spike that sailors have used for ages to work with knots, these Marlinspikes may be used to undo the ties that have bound you to unflattering workwear over the years. Time to unravel those low-riding crotches, frumpy-copious amounts of extraneous excess fabric, and the omnipresent threat of diaper-butt. For those of you that often find yourself in sticky and tricky situations, these calm, cool and reserved trousers may be just what you need to extricate yourself.

Among our most refined and conservative trousers, Marlinspikes work best with dress shirts in shades of white and light blue. And black sweaters, light blue sweaters, and dark colored blazers. We recommend black shoes and belts with clean lines. Take a pair and take business casual to new heights. They are a medium weight for dressy wool, and appropriate in most climates but probably better in Fall/Winter/Spring for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere.
