Gurkha Trousers: Where the Past and Present Meet

The Story of a Timeless Fit

Gurkha trousers are not just a piece of clothing but an icon of tradition, practicality, and timeless elegance.

Born for the Nepalese troops serving in the British Army, these trousers have spanned centuries and continents, evolving from a military symbol to a style must-have for modern runways and urban landscapes.

Claudio Mariani reinterprets this fit with the Sorrento and Nerano collections, blending the craftsmanship of Made in Italy with an exclusive design that bridges history and modernity.


The Origins of Gurkha Trousers: Functionality and Style

Gurkha trousers trace their roots back to the history of the Nepalese troops, known as the Gurkhas, who served in the British Army. Renowned for their discipline and resilience, these soldiers often operated in harsh conditions, necessitating clothing that combined practicality and durability.

This gave rise to the Gurkha trousers, characterized by a high waist, an adjustable double-pleated belt, and a design focused on ensuring freedom of movement and comfort.

Over time, these technical features transformed Gurkha trousers into a symbol of functionality and elegance.

From the battlefield to the runways, their unique design has captivated fashion enthusiasts and lovers of timeless style, making them a versatile and iconic garment.
