Steegan 1950s Moygashel Linen Trousers Tailored 30x32 Mid century Vintage RARE For Sale

Steegan 1950s Moygashel Linen Trousers

These mid-century tailored trousers were crafted in Britain by Steegan using heavyweight pure linen from the renowned Moygashel mills in Northern Ireland. Moygashel was historically celebrated as one of the premier producers of Irish linen, known for its durable, structured weave and distinctive slub texture. Featuring quintessential 1950s sartorial detailing, the garment includes a high-rise waist, an internal curtain waistband lining in contrast cotton sateen, deep pocket bags, and a sturdy metal zip fly. Mid-century linen trousers survive in far smaller numbers than wool suiting from the same era due to the seasonal and utilitarian nature of summer wash-and-wear garments. Today, authentic 1950s British linen trousers are sought after by classic menswear and period sartorial enthusiasts for their superior drape and historical textile pedigree.
