Ryota Iwai’s Auralee is a relatively new kid on the bloke, only founded in 2015. However, this is not a slight at all on their product. Minimalism and quiet luxury are synonymous with the brand, with their focus being squarely put on fit and fabrication, with not a single graphical element in site. Known especially for their knitwear and denim, they take pride in their use of unorthodox and incredibly rare fabrication. Often, their cotton garments are crafted from "Finx", a type of incredibly rare Egyptian cotton that has very long fibres, meaning it is incredibly comfortable and soft against the skin. As opposed to the previous pair of Auralee trousers I sold, here the Finx cotton is woven into a high density compact cotton twill chino cloth which is super sturdy yet soft. The chino cloth forms a preppy short, with double inverted pleats creating a voluminous silhouette. These are high waisted and sit squarely above the knee, with double side tab adjusters finishing the look.
