Meyer CHICAGO Navy Organic Cotton Trousers – Style 5545/19

Crafted with care and tradition in mind, the Meyer CHICAGO Navy Trousers (style 5545/19) are the epitome of refined menswear. Designed in the classic Chicago fit, these premium trousers are tailored from 100% organic cotton, offering a smart-casual look that’s perfect for the discerning gentleman.

Why Choose Organic Cotton?

These navy organic cotton trousers are not only a stylish staple for your wardrobe but also a responsible choice. Organic cotton is grown without the use of synthetic fertilisers or harmful pesticides, ensuring the wellbeing of both the environment and the workers who grow it. Unlike conventional cotton, no genetically modified seeds are used—making this a truly natural fibre.

Thanks to its long-staple organic fibres, Meyer’s organic cotton ensures a durable, breathable and comfortable fit, perfect for everyday wear or more formal occasions. Healthier soil from organic farming methods allows for more efficient water use, meaning these trousers also support sustainable water practices.

Key Features:

  • Classic Meyer Chicago fit – regular rise, straight leg for timeless style

  • Rich navy colour – versatile and ideal for pairing with jackets or knitwear

  • 100% certified organic cotton – soft, breathable, and eco-conscious

  • Enhanced durability and longevity from long staple fibres

  • Ethically made, promoting biodiversity, animal welfare, and community development

Wearing Meyer organic cotton trousers is not just a style choice—it's a statement. A statement for quality, sustainability, and respect for tradition.
