FHB Anton Guild Trousers in English Leather

FHB Anton are traditional guild trousers in English leather – a dense, heavy cotton fabric with high resistance to wear. With a fabric weight of 520 g/m² and a trouser weight of approximately 1,060 g in size 52, Anton are substantial work trousers for those who prefer a heavy fabric and a roomy fit.

The smooth surface, twin zips and raised rear waistband give the trousers their traditional guild appearance. The brace buttons allow you to pair them with FHB Bodo.

English leather – heavy fabric in 100% cotton

The name English leather refers to a traditional fabric and has nothing to do with genuine leather. Anton are made from 100% cotton in a dense weave using strong twisted yarn. The outer surface is smooth, while the inside is brushed for a softer feel against the skin.

The fabric is also known as Zwirn-Doppelpilot. The combination of a dense weave and heavy yarn provides high resistance to abrasion. The cotton is breathable and can absorb moisture.

Substantial work trousers with a heavyweight feel

The 520 g/m² figure describes the weight of the fabric per square metre. The finished trousers weigh approximately 1,060 g in size 52; the weight varies with size.

Anton therefore belong to the heavyweight category of guild trousers. They are a model for those who prioritise a substantial material for work and prefer more weight than lightweight work or summer trousers.

Roomy fit with straight legs – straight cut

Anton have a roomy fit with plenty of space around the thighs and straight legs without flare. Straight cut describes the shape of the legs; it does not mean that the trousers fit closely.

Freedom of movement comes from the cut, which also allows room for a folding rule in the side pocket without making the trousers unnecessarily tight.

The leg opening circumference is listed as 48 cm. This is the measurement around the opening, not the width measured flat.

Raised waistband and brace buttons

The waistband is wide and cut higher at the back, providing better coverage for your lower back when bending or kneeling. It also helps keep your shirt or T-shirt tucked into the trousers.

The brace buttons are secured using the Ascolite system and fit the leather tabs on FHB Bodo braces.

Wide YKK zips and reinforced stitching

The two extra-wide, silver-coloured YKK zips have solid end pieces. Hook-and-eye fastenings behind the zips help keep the front stable as you move.

Double-stitched seat seams reinforce an area exposed to strain. The sewing thread has a polyester core with a cotton sheath and is chosen for its high breaking strength. Pocket edges and corners are reinforced with synthetic leather to withstand wear and strain.

Pockets for the working day

Two spacious front pockets have wide openings for easy access. Folding rule pockets on both sides can be reached with either hand, and there is one buttoned pocket at the back.

The pocket bags are made from durable lining fabric.

Prefer a ribbed surface?

FHB Karl-Heinz guild trousers are the alternative in heavy, wide-ribbed corduroy. While Anton have a smooth outer surface in pure cotton, Karl-Heinz have pronounced corduroy ribs and a blend of cotton and polyester.
