Origin
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.
