Reviewed: Kleep "Rosemont" Skinny Twill Pant — Olive

If every bottom you own is denim, this is the gap. Twill in a proper olive, cut skinny, with no distressing anywhere on it.

The fabric and colour

A mid-weight cotton twill with a little stretch, in a deep army olive that leans grey rather than yellow. Smoother and lighter than denim, and it holds a crease where denim would just crumple. No fading, no rips, no visible hardware, no branding on the outside.

Olive is the most underrated colour in a wardrobe. It works with black, with cream, with tan, and with almost every sneaker colourway in the shop — it behaves like a neutral while not being one.

The ankle

Cut long and ruched, so the extra length gathers over the shoe rather than breaking once. On the model it stacks three or four folds deep. It gives a skinny pant some visual weight at the bottom, which stops the whole leg looking like a pipe.

Under about 5'9" you will get a lot of stack. That is the design, but it is worth knowing.

Sizing

Nine sizes, 30 through 44, true to waist. Skinny through the thigh and calf with stretch to move in.

Who it's for

Anyone who wants to look put together without wearing anything loud. This is a quiet piece that makes loud shoes work — pair it with the purple 4 or a white sneaker and the pant simply gets out of the way. If you want the bottom half to be the story, this is not it.

9 sizes. $129.99.
