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.

Seamwork Style Ideas

The Noah trousers look really sleek with a fitted turtleneck, like Lenny. Lenny is actually a dress, but it’s really easy to crop into a turtleneck top. Here’s a tutorial.

Wide-legged trousers are so fun to layer—they look good with cropped and long layers. This is the Savannah camisole and Baz coat.
