Since 1986 the Swedish-based, Bergman family has been growing organic Pima cotton in the historic Canete Valley of Peru, creating classically-designed clothes and home furnishings for a loyal following. Learning that it takes nine months from sowing to harvesting their cotton, I have a deeper appreciation for what goes into making their fine garments.
I like their own description: “The perfect khakis, in the perfect colour and with the right cut; inspired by the American Army classic….Sturdy belt-loops and durable pockets. Works with a shirt and tie, with a polo shirt as well as with your old favourite T-shirt.”
With proper care, these trousers will last a very long time.
