SIZE 36 TROUSERS FROM BILL'S KHAKIS and HERTLING!
Bill's Khakis!
Bill's Khakis was founded in 1984, when Bill Thomas found an old pair of WWII khakis in an Army Surplus store, and realized that current khakis paled in comparison to them. He set up shop in a garage in PA, and by 1990 was making Bill's professionally. By making sure that his khakis were utterly consistent and great value for money, was extremely successful--so much so that Bill's was bought out in 2015.
I'm very pleased to offer two pairs of Bill's both size 36--and one New With Tags!
1) M1 model, flat front and relaxed fit. NEW WITH TAGS! Waist: 18 1/2; Inseam: 40 1/2 (unhemmed). Asking just $49, or offer.
2) M1 model, flat front and cuffed, in poplin pincord. Excellent condition. Waist: 18 1/4; Inseam: 30 1/2 (+1) with 1 3/4" cuff. Asking $35.
3) NWT Hertling trousers. Lightweight wool, "Gene" model. Size 36R. Flat front and cuffed. A lovely pale orange sherbet color--the close-up pictures are most accurate. Waist; 18; Inseam: 30 1/2 (+1) with 1 1/2" cuff.
Founded in 1925 in Brooklyn, New York, by Morris Hertling, Hertling was taken over by his son, Julius, after he had served in the Second World War. In 1997 Julius decided to focus his tailoring expertise on making absolutely first-class trousers--and succeeded wonderfully. Alas, Julius died in 2015, and the company was taken over by investors. In April 2018 Hertling's closure was announced, and both Epaulet and LuxeSwap ran "Factory Closing" sales.
Luckily, Hertling was able to restructure, and continues in business as a web-only retailer. The quality of their wares continues to be unsurpassed--which is reflected in their prices, at around $300 for each pair.
This thus represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a pair of NEW Hertling trousers at much less than retail--just $65, boxed and shipped in the USA!
