Here is everything you need to know about the Noah trousers before you start sewing!
Noah is a high-rise trouser that combines classic tailoring with thoughtful, functional details. Sitting at your natural waist, it’s fitted through the hip, giving way to a chic wide leg. Six belt loops let you style with or without a belt, while front welt pockets, back patch pockets, and topstitched darts add a touch of polish.
Inside, pocket stays offer stability, and our deep-set zipper fly prevents gaping and is fun to sew. Try Noah in your favorite bottom-weight fabrics like denim, twill, corduroy, linen, or suiting.
Fabric recommendations: Look for medium-weight or heavyweight bottomweight fabrics such as denim, twill, linen, suiting, and corduroy.
