Run by designer Daniel Olatunji, Monad London produces beautiful handmade garments with a unique blend of precise tailoring and what Daniel calls meticulous imperfection. A graduate of Central Saint Martins in London, Daniel's pursuit of perfection lead him full circle, now embracing a very natural chaos in his details — raw edges, mismatched buttons, aged fabrics, and hand stitching contrast & compliment the immaculate construction of each piece.

The same approach is taken with their materials, seeking out handwoven or deadstock textiles from artisan makers and antique dealers, selecting only the very best and most interesting fabrics for each new style. The designs are inspired by what we'd call "working wear" — shirts, trousers, and even suits made from hardy materials and worn by blue collar workers through the middle of the 20th century. These pieces were lived in by the people who wore them, developing a unique character over time that Monad London manage to reproduce and reimagine.

The Layamon Pant is a single pleat tailored pant, with a classic-tapered silhouette and unique construction details. The top block is cut without a front or back yoke, with an adjustable waistband and two large pleats on the front (as well as darts in the back) for shaping. They've got three pockets, two for your hands and one at the rear with a raw-edged flap cover, and more unfinished edges at the hem, just beneath the turned-up cuffs.

They've got a relaxed top block, with a high rise and roomy seat that pairs with the slightly oversized waist, which can be brought in with the metal side tab adjusters for a more dramatic silhouette. The legs are tapered, wide at the top and less so at the opening, never reaching slim, but also not so roomy as to be exaggerated, with a very "natural" leg shape that ends in a very slightly cropped cuff.

They're made from a deadstock printed cotton velvet, with a micro houndstooth pattern. The fabric is plush, with a soft and dry hand that drapes loosely and moves easily. It insulates heat fairly well, even more so thanks to the cotton lining inside the trousers, making these a really great cool weather trouser for the city or the country.

These run large through the waist, with a relaxed fit and cropped leg. Dry clean.
