Cotton Velvet 7/8 Trouser - OEM

The Poli women's trousers from Hartford, in a 100% cotton smooth velvet in a deep chocolate brown, with a minimalist city-chic spirit, a high waist and a wide cut offering great freedom of movement, and a 7/8 length ideal for showcasing the ankles, listed at 189 GBP with four of the five sizes in stock and a model reference of 1.75 metres wearing a size 2. It is worth beginning with the length word, because it is the only length word in this run that is itself a number, and this run can check it. It is worth then stating the word, which is 7/8 length, and the figure, which is an inseam of 71 to 75 centimetres. It is worth then asking what 7/8 is seven eighths of, and answering it, which is the full length. It is worth then saying where this run gets a full length, which is the other trouser from this same house in this same batch, the Plumiel, whose inseam is 83 centimetres and which is described as classic length. It is worth then doing the arithmetic, which is seven eighths of 83, and stating the answer, which is 72.6 centimetres. It is worth then reading the chart, which gives 72 centimetres at the size the model wears. It is worth then stating the result, which is that the page says 7/8 and the garment is 72, and seven eighths of this house's own full length is 72.6, so the fraction is exact. It is worth then saying what that makes this, which is the first length word in this run that came with a way to check it built in, and it passes to the centimetre. It is worth then turning to the chart as a whole, because it is where this garment separates from its stablemate. It is worth then noting that this trouser grades every column, at 2 centimetres on the waist and 1 on each of the inseam and the total length, on all five sizes. It is worth then recalling the Plumiel, which freezes both of those columns. It is worth then stating what that makes this, which is two trousers from one house, in one batch, on the same five sizes, where one grades everything and the other grades one column out of three. It is worth then saying what that settles, and this run owes a correction here: last batch it concluded from three frozen sleeves at one house that freezing was that house's practice. Two houses in this batch show within-house variation, so freezing is a choice made garment by garment. It is worth then closing on the fibre, because it is the last thing the customer meets. It is worth then stating it, which is one hundred per cent cotton smooth velvet, and then noting that no weight and no pile length are given. It is worth then saying why that matters more for velvet than for most cloths, which is that a velvet is defined by its pile, and last batch this run read a faux fur that said curly and gave no pile length either. It is worth then noting the care label, which says machine wash at 30 and gives nothing after it, and saying what velvet specifically needs, which is a drying and ironing instruction because its pile is crushed by both.

Specifications

Size Chart as Published by the Reference

The waist figures are given with nothing on the page saying whether they are measured flat or all the way round. Taken all the way round they would be 13.4 to 16.5 in, which is smaller than any adult waist, so they can only be flat half measures, doubling to 68 to 84 cm, or about 26.77 to 33.07 in. Against bodies of roughly 24 to 32 in, the ease at the waist runs from about 2.8 in at a size 1 down to about 1.1 in at a size 5, falling by about 0.43 in at every step, and this run derives that a grade of g centimetres flat moves the ease by 0.79g minus 2 inches per size, which matches the chart on all four steps. All three columns grade, at 2 cm on the waist and 1 cm on each of the inseam and the total length. Total length less inseam gives a rise of 28 cm on every size. No hip, no thigh, no knee and no leg opening are published. Our proposal below grades the waist so the ease holds steady and publishes the front and back rise.

Occasions and Styling

Suits day into evening. A velvet 7/8 trouser with a high waist works with a fine knit or a shirt, and the short length shows the ankle and the shoe.

Production and Quality Control

The reference publishes three measurements for all five sizes, grades all three columns perfectly evenly, names a model with her height in metres and the size she wears, publishes a size conversion, states its fibre, names both parts of its fly, counts its pockets by type, gives a care temperature in two units, and names its country of manufacture. It gives no rise, no cloth weight, no pile length on a velvet, no waist, see the note, no hip, no thigh, no knee and no leg opening on a wide cut, no pocket size or count, no zip length, no cycle, no drying, no iron and no bleach instruction, no shrinkage figure, no certification, no cloth origin, and it carries one photograph. Three things follow: the only length word in this run that can be checked and which passes exactly, a chart that grades everything beside a stablemate that grades almost nothing, and a pile fabric with no pile measurement.

Seventy two, and that is the first thing, and it is worth saying what the word is before saying what it measures, because this one is unusual. It is worth then stating it, which is 7/8 length, and then noting what that makes it, which is the only length word in this run that is itself a fraction. It is worth then asking what seven eighths is seven eighths of, and answering, which is the full length. It is worth then saying where this run can get a full length, and it can get one from the same house in the same batch: the Plumiel, described as classic length, whose inseam is 83 centimetres and whose outseam reaches the floor on its model. It is worth then doing the arithmetic, which is seven eighths of 83, and stating the answer, which is 72.6 centimetres. It is worth then reading this chart, which gives an inseam of 72 centimetres at the size the model wears. It is worth then stating the result without hedging: the page says 7/8, the garment is 72, and seven eighths of this house's own full length is 72.6, so the fraction is exact to within a centimetre. It is worth then saying what that makes this, which is the first length word in this run to come with a way of checking it built in, and it passes. It is worth then recalling the others, because the contrast is the point: cropped measured 38.8 per cent, ankle measured 38.2, and the two were within a centimetre of each other, so those two words described the same length. This one describes exactly what it says. It is worth then turning to the chart as a whole, because it is where this garment and its stablemate part company. It is worth then noting that all three columns here grade, 2 centimetres on the waist and 1 on each of the inseam and the total length, on all five sizes. It is worth then recalling the Plumiel, which freezes the inseam and the total length on all five. It is worth then stating what that is, which is two trousers from one house, one batch, the same five sizes, one grading everything and one grading one column out of three.

Twenty eight, and that is the second thing, and it is worth saying what it is before saying what it means, because it has to be derived. It is worth then noting that no rise is published, and then doing the subtraction, which is 99 less 71, and stating the answer, which is 28 centimetres on every size. It is worth then setting that against the same house's other trouser, which says regular waist and derives 24. It is worth then stating the two together: high is 28 and regular is 24, and the difference is real and constant. It is worth then saying what this run owes here, which is a correction. It is worth then recalling that last batch three frozen sleeves from one house led this run to call freezing that house's practice. It is worth then noting what this batch shows, which is two houses each varying within themselves: this house freezes two columns on one trouser and none on the other, and another house in this batch grades the sleeve on one knit and freezes it on another. It is worth then stating the corrected conclusion, which is that freezing is a choice made garment by garment, and three out of three was one house's habit rather than a rule. It is worth then turning to the fibre, because it is the last gap and it is a familiar shape. It is worth then stating it, which is one hundred per cent cotton smooth velvet, and then listing what is not given, which is the weight and the pile length. It is worth then saying why that matters more here than for most cloths, which is that a velvet is defined by its pile, and it is worth noting that last batch this run read a faux fur from a different house that said curly and gave no pile length either, so two batches running a pile fabric has been described by its hand and not by its pile. It is worth then closing on the care label, because it is where the omission bites. It is worth then giving the credit first, which is that 30 degrees is given in both Celsius and Fahrenheit, the first label in this run to convert. It is worth then saying what is missing after it, which is a cycle, a drying instruction, an iron instruction and a bleach instruction. It is worth then saying why velvet specifically needed those, which is that its pile is crushed by tumbling and flattened by pressing, so of all cotton cloths this is the one that most needs to be told how to dry and how to press, and the page says nothing at all.

Optional upgrades include publishing the pile length and the weight in grams per square metre so a velvet can be specified, adding cycle, drying, iron and bleach instructions written for a pile fabric, publishing the front and back rise, the hip, the thigh and the leg opening with the unit named, the zip length, the belt loop width and count, the pocket size and count, shrinkage figures, a cloth origin as the house gives on its other trouser, more photographs, grading the waist by about 2.5 cm so the ease holds steady, corduroy, velveteen, stretch and recycled cotton velvets, regular and mid rises, full, cropped and ankle lengths, straight, tapered and barrel legs, half elasticated waistbands and button flies, size set, colour development, private label, hangtag and care labelling.
