BRAX

They are named blocks rather than sizes. Each name fixes the rise, seat and leg shape, so the same silhouette repeats across fabrics and seasons. Chuck is the modern, slim five-pocket cut with a moderate rise. Cooper is the classic five-pocket straight leg, cut roomier through the seat. Cadiz is also a straight-fit five-pocket, comfortable through the hip and thigh on a regular rise. BRAX describes each of its named styles in a fit guide, so a shape that works is easy to find again.

Because most of the cloth is woven with a small percentage of elastane. It is usually only two or three per cent, but that is enough for the fabric to move with you when you sit, drive or climb stairs and then recover its shape instead of bagging at the knee. Wash cool and skip the tumble dryer, since heat is what tires elastane out fastest.
