SuitSupply Unveils Gurkha Pants for the First Time

[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] SuitSupply, the Dutch menswear brand under Samsung C&T Fashion Division, announced on the 25th that it has launched a variety of summer pants styles featuring details such as Gurkha, pleats, and drawstrings.

SuitSupply released Gurkha pants with a military mood that is gaining attention from the millennial generation for the first time this year. Gurkha pants originated from the military uniforms worn by Nepalese Gurkha mercenaries in early 19th century Britain, characterized by a belt with a string decoration at the waist.

SuitSupply’s Gurkha pants feature wide leg openings and pleats on both sides, providing good ventilation and comfort during wear. They are available in beige shorts and long pants styles.

Pleated pants, which help to complement body shape flaws, were also introduced in various colors and materials. The pleated detail on the front of the pants creates extra space with folds that naturally cover the lower body while enhancing mobility, and also adds a classic atmosphere.

Colors such as beige, gray, and light blue were applied, along with linen-cotton blends and 100% wool materials. Additionally, practical and stylish details such as side adjusters (devices that adjust the length of straps fixed with loops or buttons on both sides of the waist) and coin pockets (small pockets attached above the right front pocket of pants) were included to maintain elegance.

Drawstring pants reflecting the athleisure trend were also introduced. These pants have a formal appearance below the waist but feature an elastic band and a drawstring at the waist for a much more comfortable fit. Designs include slim fits with linen and wool materials, gray colors, and striped patterns.

They also launched eco-friendly denim pants with a stylish button fly detail. SuitSupply’s denim pants use buttons instead of zippers, offering a classic look rarely seen in regular jeans. Moreover, they are made from fabric by Candiani in Italy, an eco-friendly denim manufacturer. The selvage fabric minimizes water and chemical use and employs organic cotton with eco-friendly dyes.

Na Yoonseon, team leader at SuitSupply, said, “Men’s pants are items where a subtle detail can change the style and mood.” He added, “If you want a classic feel, choose pleated pants; for a casually cool styling, go for drawstring pants; and if you want to try trendy insider fashion, select Gurkha pants.”

SuitSupply’s summer pants are available at stores nationwide and on the Samsung C&T Fashion Division’s integrated online mall, SSF Shop.
