At CDM we are constantly innovating by reworking the fabrics that made the glory of the military wardrobe.

Developed at the dawn of the Second World War, the first versions were born in 1941 to evolve over the years and manufacturers.

HBT being the acronym for HerringBone Twill which literally means "Herringbone Twill"

It is herringbone twill that we wove in a satin weave (satin being a weft) in order to offer you a silky touch and create a textured shift with the original military spirit.



All fire all flames


In addition to its satin aspect, we wanted to bring an effect of material and additional technicality with this 100% slub cotton fabric. This process makes it possible to add relief and asperities while maintaining a silky hand, you will rarely see this type of material in the world of fashion.

French fabric

We have woven this weft in France, a sample of real sateen cotton from the American army has been sent to improve the weft, for this we have chosen an Alsatian factory which has existed since 1828.

Of course, this raw material is French ( Velcorex factory ), with a density of 13oz, which allows our pants to accompany you in a sustainable way, and this, in all seasons, regardless of the weather.



Lawrence of England

Our chinos are as elegant as they are practical with these multiple asymmetrical pockets of all sizes.

The singularity of our creation is on the front of the right thigh with the patch pocket with cargo-inspired median bellows, without flap, buttoned closure in corozo. (Like all buttons)

16 cm deep for only 10 wide enough to protect your smartphone while remaining within reach.

Always in front, left thigh this time, you will find a large patch pocket 22 cm long and 16 wide

with a flap that is reminiscent of that of our famous OG107, slightly pointed, itself reinforced by overlapping.



Notify Reinforcements

Our reputation is also based on the irreproachable quality and solidity of our creations. We make it a point of honor that our work will last you as long as possible.

This is why all these pockets are lined in 100% cotton Italian herringbone, as is the crotch reinforcement which will prevent the seam from tearing and resist repeated attacks from your steel frame, same as Slack .

We took the opportunity to add two small rear pockets with flaps to store your pocket crockery, or your keys.

Without forgetting the traditional side pockets for your hands, which as usual are reinforced with bar tacks.



Shape Of You

Trousers of military origin are traditionally wide with a rather loose fit, because they were worn over clothing while remaining comfortable and useful above all.

Here, the cut is adjusted to enhance your silhouette.
You can wear it in all circumstances with its modernized shape while remaining comfortable for your legs.
Small original detail, the belt loops have been refined and designed with a single central stitching, all this was done in Morocco with the same seriousness that characterizes us.
Width of the hem is 18 cm, enough to swell the ankles...
