SIZING/FIT
The Continental “Rive-Gauche” Sportcoat and trousers come raw/unwashed.
We recommend the usual initial 30mn cold soak/occasional hand agitation/spin dry/hang dry process.
The tagged size reflects the size of the garment after going through this process.
The subtle variation of shrinkage between body fabric/lining fabric/cotton thread will result in normal puckering and roping, slightly altering the fit and drape.
CL's Advice: At 5’7 ~150 Lbs, I personally opted for a snug Size 38 (Medium) in this corduroy Continental sportcoat, and a comfortable W32 trousers.
These are my usual sizes in the Continental series and most mfsc garments.
The Continental “Rive-Gauche” Trousers are true to size.
If you are a measured waist 32 inches, you are most-likely a stamped W32 in these.
The top block is fairly snug, with a slim thigh and straight leg.
A W31 was too tight on me.
To accommodate fine tuning for the silhouette of your choice, we are releasing these in a few select odd sizes too (W29, W31 and W33).
Please note that the Continental Trousers pattern might not be a good option for all body types.
Proportion-wise, those with muscular legs will probably look better in our regular Sportsman Chino models.
Trousers hemming:
After the initial soak/hang dry process, we recommend settling down on the final length of the bottom hem after gently wearing the trousers around the house a bit.
The cotton fabric tends to naturally bunch/wrinkle and pull the leg up slightly.
Letting this specific fabric react to your own body for an hour or so will allow you to decide on a proper classic leg break that works for you.
I opted for a simple 1½ inch hem with no fold, with a slight break.
Please refer to sizing chart for approximate raw/soaked measurements.

CARE
Although low maintenance, both corduroy Sportcoat and Trousers should be considered as a delicate garments and treated with care.
We recommend professional dry-cleaning when needed.
STORY
These classic trousers are the bottom half of our ongoing “Continental” series, an unpretentious all-made-in-USA casual suiting concept.
The “Rive Gauche” edition features the same grade of 14 Oz. wide-wale corduroy of the 2019 Mattock Jacket, a fabric inspired by 1930s-40s French Velour d’Amiens.
The Continental Trousers feature a slick late 1950’s-early 1960’s silhouette, with a slim leg and a mid-rise fitted top block.
The keen eye will notice the obvious similarities with the Mister Freedom® Sportsman Chinos.
The Continental Trousers are the more elegant option of the two.
