Blluemade's Autumn/Winter '24 collection takes inspiration from vintage prep styles, specifically those of the 1970s, with an updated color palatte for a more sophisticated and contemporary feel. Though referential to aesthetics and styles of the past, Blluemade's new collection is more modern in execution, having "roots in nostalgia" as they put it. The fabrics are exceptional, with plush Italian corduroy and cotton velvet that are perfectly suited to cooler weather and layering.

The Double Pleat Pant are a handsome trouser with a relaxed and classic silhouette that can easily be dressed up into more formal outfits. They've got a very refined design, with two deep pleats down the front and a pleasantly straight leg - neither too wide nor too slim. Though more old school in design, they're a great contemporary trouser as well, styling just as easily in casual outfits as they do for more dressy ones.

They're made from a deep green Italian corduroy, woven from 100% cotton, with a wide wale and subtle shine across its surface. The "wale" of a corduroy fabric refers to the thickness of its vertical rows (called "wales"), where "wide-wale" generally refers to thicker and heavier fabrics, while "narrow-wale" usually indicates more narrow or micro-cords. As soft and warm as any other world-class corduroy, it's got a nice heft to it, with just enough drape and a handsome texture that will only get better with time, as the nap wears down in certain high-friction areas, and the texture slowly changes throughout.

The roomy pleated fit pairs well with the heavier fabric, unrestrictive and comfortable from the moment you put them on. The trims are minimal, but always important - from the tonal fly button and zip closure, to the four full pockets, they have everything you want in a trouser.

Each piece is designed in Brooklyn and then cut-and-sewn together in NYC's Garment District, at a family-owned and women-run workshop that Blluemade have been working with for years.
