Frequently Asked Questions

What fabric works for athletic formal trousers?

Technical suiting with stretch, ponte, or performance twill. Look for fabrics that hold a crease but move with you.

How do these differ from regular trousers?

The athletic formal cut has more room through the thigh and a tapered leg, designed for athletic builds. The waistband includes stretch for comfort.
