Straight Work Pants 100% coton Navy - Le Laboureur

A classic piece of French workwear heritage, these Le Laboureur trousers have been worn for generations by workers, craftsmen, carpenters, foresters, and manual trades of all kinds. Solid, simple, comfortable, and dependable, they only get better with time: the cotton drill softens, molds to your body, and develops a natural patina — the hallmark of a well-made garment.

At La Cognée, we value their durability, simplicity, and outstanding price-to-quality ratio — a pair of trousers built to serve for years to come.

Size Guide

French sizes are different from North American sizes, SO IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU TAKE THE TIME TO MEASURE YOUR WAIST AND HIPS SIZE in order to choose the right size.

• The fit is snug at the waist, we recommend sizing up one waist size. For example: I usually wear size 44 largeot work pants, but in this style I’m more comfortable in a 46.
  • • If you are unsure, or if your size is not listed, please contact us at info.lacognee@gmail.com
• To measure your waist (classic/standard waist):
  • Place the measuring tape a few centimeters below the navel, where a classic trouser belt would normally sit.
    
• To measure your hips:

• Place the tape measure around the widest part above the hips, at mid-buttocks level.
• In all cases, keep the measuring tape snug but not too tight, and breathe normally to ensure an accurate measurement.
