Men's High Quality Heritage Leather Pants | Natural Grain Cowhide – Leather Outlet

Heritage means the traditional way of making a leather trouser: heavy natural grain cowhide, a straight five-pocket pattern, double-stitched seams and no shortcuts in the parts you cannot see. There is nothing modern about this pair, and that is the point. It is built the way leather trousers were built when they were work clothing rather than fashion, which is why they last the way they do.

• Material: Heavy natural grain cowhide
• Fit: Traditional regular fit, straight leg
• Closure: Zip fly with belt loops
• Color: Natural brown
• Care: Dry cloth, hang by the waistband, condition twice a year

Natural grain cowhide

Natural grain means the hide surface has been left as it came rather than sanded flat and sprayed with a pigment coating. The grain is visible and the leather breathes, softens and develops a patina with wear. Coated leather does the opposite — it looks perfectly uniform on day one and then wears by having its coating rub off.

Cowhide is the heavy option. It starts firm and takes a few weeks of wear to soften, after which it moves with you and keeps doing so for years. If you want something comfortable immediately, our stretch and lambskin trousers in the same Men Leather Pants range are the alternative.

Built the traditional way

Double-stitched seams throughout with heavy polyester thread. Pocket bags backed and stress points reinforced. A faced waistband with belt loops set through reinforced tabs. A proper metal zip fly. None of that is visible from the outside, which is exactly why it is the first thing skipped on cheaper trousers.

The five-pocket layout is the standard jeans arrangement: two front scoop pockets, a coin pocket and two rear patch pockets.

How they age

This is the pair to buy if you want leather trousers that look better in five years than on day one. Knees and seat take on a slight sheen, the natural grain deepens in tone, and the hide moulds to how you stand and walk. Coated leather cannot do any of that.

Condition them twice a year with a neutral conditioner and they will outlast most of your wardrobe.

Fit and sizing

Traditional regular fit with a straight leg cut to break over a shoe. Take your normal waist size. Cowhide has no stretch, so go up rather than down if you are between sizes, or take the free Custom option and send waist, hip, thigh and inside leg. Hang them by the waistband rather than folding.

Wear them with boots and a plain shirt or a leather shirt from our Men Leather Shirts, or under a jacket from our Men Leather Jackets.

Sizes and made to order

Each pair is cut after you order. Standard sizes are XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL and 5XL, plus Custom at no extra charge. Free worldwide shipping and secure checkout are included.
