1980s | Ober Basic | Taupe Cotton Blend Pleated Trousers - w30

Description:

Item: High-waisted pleated trousers in taupe cotton blend with double pleats at the front, side slash pockets, turn-ups at the hem, and a wide cut through the leg. Lightweight cloth.

Era: 1980s

Brand: Ober Basic

Condition: Very good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age and use.

Provenance Note: Taupe is a quieter, more considered colour in pleated trousers, sitting between stone and grey in a tone that pairs easily across a range of outfits. The double pleat and wide leg give the silhouette a generous drape, and the lightweight cotton blend gives the cloth a clean, crisp handle. A well-cut, versatile pair.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation, however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with pit-to-pit (chest), then check length. Vintage pieces can be cut boxier and shorter than modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

For trousers, please compare the waist and leg measurements to a pair you already own, laid flat, rather than measuring your body directly.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on chest measurements using the following tee / shirt sizing scale:

31–34″ = XXS
35–36″ = XS
37–38″ = S
39–40″ = M
41–42″ = L
43–44″ = XL
45–46″ = XXL
47–48″ = 3XL

For jackets, knitwear, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down from the tee scale to allow for structure, lining, and bulk.
