What does the 'press detail' mentioned in the pants description refer to?
Some people pause at the phrase 'front and back press detail' while reading the pants details. It is not immediately clear whether it means pleats were made, or where and how the line appears.
The press detail in the description refers to a finish where crease lines are set along the center front and back of the pants through ironing.
This detail is seen as a line running vertically down the middle of the leg when viewing the pants from the front and back. These pants by RECTO have pressing on both the front and the back[1].
Pressing refers to the process of fixing a fold line by pressing the fabric with heat and pressure. On pants, it is usually set as a single line along the center of the leg; when this line is sharp, the legs appear long and straight. These pants feature a slim-spreading flared line[2], and create a defined waist and long leg line using firm crepe double jersey[3].
The care instructions specify separate dry cleaning[4]. Generally, washing with water tends to shrink the fabric or break down the pressed line, so pants with press details are usually ironed again after dry cleaning to maintain the crease.
RECTO always opens its collections with an intricately tailored suit as the first look[5]. hmmm, looking at it that way, this single pressed line is closer to an axis that anchors the flared silhouette so it does not look loose, rather than merely being decorative.
It has not yet been confirmed whether this pressed line is fixed by stitching or set only by ironing.
