Samuel Zelig is a modern brand producing vintage-style garments, with a focus on what they call "uniform standards and closet essentials". Taking their inspiration from traditional American workwear styles, the designs are bolstered with French & Japanese manufacturing practices, tweaked to fit and move better without sacrificing durability or design.

The designs are highly customized, from embroidery to printwork, with unique washing and fading finishes to elevate each style well beyond its silhouette. The artwork and original designs adorning each piece from Samuel Zelig are created by designers Jonathan Levite and Melissa Marsella, changing each season and with each style.

The Folk Pants are a detailed narrow wale corduroy trouser for Fall/Winter 2024. Featuring designs inspired by folk art (hence the name), they are embroidered throughout, with a comfortable fit and classic silhouette. 

The fit is also excellent, featuring a relaxed high rise top block and comfortably tapered legs - the waistband is elasticated, with an internal drawstring for even more adjustment on the fly. The level of detail on the embroidery makes additional details a challenge, but they still managed to get two surprisingly deep welted pockets in at the sides, and two bucket pockets at the rear for storage.

The fabric is a 10oz narrow wale corduroy, milled in Japan from 100% cotton yarns. After finishing, it's given a rinse to soften and shrink the fabric, taking some of the guesswork out of sizing and care. The medium weight fabric is comfortable for most of the year, substantial without feeling to stiff or heavy.

Fits true to size with an elasticated drawstring waistband. Wash cold on delicate and lay flat to dry.
