What role do the pleats at the knees of the SOMA trousers play?
Seeing the pleat detail at the knee area of the pants, one might wonder how it affects the pants' silhouette when worn.
It serves to prominently accentuate the shape of the flared silhouette that spreads out relaxed below the knees[1].
The SOMA trousers from JEONGLI are neatly fitted along the body line down to the thighs, and spread out relaxed toward the outside from below the knees[2]. The pleat detail folded into the knees further prominently supports the flared line spreading to the hem[3]. In addition, darts are incorporated at the thighs and knee areas so that the flat fabric wraps three-dimensionally along the leg contours[4].
The base fabric is a substantial heavy cotton of 100% cotton[5][6]. MOLESKIN used in the material description refers to a densely woven cotton fabric with fine fuzz raised by delicately brushing the fabric surface like mole skin. In general, densely woven heavy cotton has solid strength and weight within the fabric itself, reliably supporting the three-dimensional pant shape created by darts and pleats so it does not easily collapse.
The specific weight or thickness of the MOLESKIN-texture heavy cotton has not yet been confirmed.
