Eli high-rise faux leather pants

Eli high-rise faux leather pants

These are faux leather trousers — a synthetic coated fabric, not animal hide. Said first because they sit alongside our real leather range and the two are genuinely different products. What makes this pair worth attention is the waistband.

• Material: Faux leather (synthetic coated fabric, not animal hide)
• Fit: High rise, fitted
• Closure: Zip closure with wide waistband
• Color: Black
• Care: Wipe with a damp cloth, no conditioner, keep away from direct heat

Why the waistband decides everything on a high rise

A high-rise trouser puts the waistband at the narrowest part of the torso, which is also the part that changes most across a day and between people. A narrow band on a stiff material digs in; a band that is too soft folds over and stops holding the trousers up.

The answer is a band with real width — enough surface area to distribute pressure so it sits flat and stays put. It is a small construction detail that decides whether high-rise trousers are comfortable after four hours.

What faux leather is, and what it is good at

A fabric base with a polyurethane coating on the face, embossed to imitate grain. It is manufactured rather than grown, so colour and texture are perfectly consistent across the garment.

Its real advantage on trousers is stretch. Many coated fabrics carry a little, which hide never can, and on a fitted trouser that give matters more than anything else. It is also light, inexpensive, needs no conditioning and contains no animal material.

The honest limitations

It does not age; it stays as it is and eventually cracks or peels at the highest-flex points — knees, seat and inner thigh. It breathes less than hide so it feels warmer. And leather conditioner does nothing for it.

Buy these for the look, the price, the stretch and the animal-free material. For a garment that lasts a decade, real leather with a proper fit is the answer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this real leather?

No. It is faux leather — a polyurethane-coated synthetic fabric. We do not describe it as leather.

Is it suitable for vegans?

It contains no animal hide. Message us before ordering if you need confirmation on threads, linings and trims.

Why does the waistband matter on a high rise?

A wide band spreads pressure so it sits flat and stays put; a narrow one digs in on a stiff material.

Do they stretch?

Many coated fabrics carry a little stretch, which real hide never does. It helps considerably on a fitted trouser.

How long will they last?

Less than real leather — coated fabric eventually cracks or peels at the knees, seat and inner thigh.

Do I need to condition them?

No. Leather conditioner does nothing for a synthetic coating.

Do you offer custom sizing?

Yes — XS to 5XL plus Custom to your own measurements.
