The Carpenter Trouser
A needlecord trouser with 60mm of hem folded inside each leg and a waist that adjusts a full size either way.
The making
Cut from 16 wale needlecord and made in India. Corozo buttons at the waist tab, set against hand-worked buttonholes. Three ruled lines on the name tape inside the back waistband.
How it grows
A 60mm turn-back hem is folded inside and slip-stitched by hand — no machine topstitch on the face of the cloth. Unpick the stitching, press the fold out and re-hem, and the garment is one size longer. The old crease stays. It is evidence a child grew. An internal waist tape adjusts a full size either way.

Three steps, one more size.
No machine topstitch on the face of the cloth, so letting the hem down leaves nothing behind but the crease.
Three lines inside the collar.
One for each child who wears it. Write the first name and leave the other two — the garment is built to reach them.
Nothing here is decoration. The hem, the strap ladder and the tape inside the collar are all doing a job.
