Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Hempel Slim Leg Trouser is a cornerstone of professional corporate attire, offering a modern, tailored silhouette for the discerning workplace. As part of the Performance Collection, these trousers are designed to withstand the rigours of daily wear while maintaining a sharp, professional appearance. They provide a sophisticated alternative to standard work trousers, bridging the gap between high-street style and industrial-grade durability.
Key Features
- Slim Leg Silhouette: Provides a contemporary, streamlined fit that looks professional in any corporate setting.
- High-Performance Fabric Blend: Utilises recycled polyester, wool, and Lycra to balance sustainability, warmth, and flexibility.
- Functional Pocketing: Features two side pockets for practical storage of small essentials, with mock hip pockets to maintain a clean rear profile.
- Half Lined Construction: Ensures greater comfort against the skin and allows the garment to drape correctly throughout the day.
- Integrated Belt Loops: Allows for the addition of a belt to ensure a secure fit and a complete professional look.
Design & Performance
The composition of the Hempel Trouser is a testament to textile engineering. The use of 34% wool provides natural breathability and a premium feel, while the 64% recycled polyester ensures the garment remains resilient and easy to care for. The inclusion of 2% LYCRA® Elastane is crucial; it provides just enough stretch to ensure the trousers move with the wearer, preventing the restriction often found in traditional tailoring.
Despite the slim cut, the fabric's weight is substantial enough to hold its shape through repeated wear. The half-lining is a thoughtful addition that reduces friction and prevents the fabric from clinging, ensuring you remain comfortable during long shifts or extended meetings.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
For a truly professional finish, we recommend embroidery for the Hempel Trouser. A small, subtle logo near the waistband or pocket area provides a sophisticated branding touch that suits the garment's refined aesthetic. Embroidery is exceptionally durable and will likely outlast the garment itself, maintaining its colour and texture through countless wash cycles.
While print is available and better suited for larger, high-contrast designs, it is less common on formal trousers. However, our expert in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting their craft since 1976, can advise on the best method to ensure your brand is represented with precision and quality.
Use Cases
These trousers are an ideal choice for front-of-house staff, hospitality management, and corporate office environments. They are equally suited for legal and financial professionals who require a garment that reflects their expertise and attention to detail. The slim-leg design makes them a versatile companion for both tailored blazers and more casual knitwear.

Practical Advice
The Hempel is a slim-leg fit, which is closer to the body than a traditional parallel trouser. We recommend reviewing the hem width measurements to ensure the fit meets your personal preference. These trousers layer exceptionally well with Brook Taverner waistcoats and jackets for a complete, cohesive uniform.
Caring for your product
This garment is machine washable, which is essential for busy professionals who require a low-maintenance wardrobe. To preserve the integrity of the wool blend and the LYCRA® fibres, always follow the specific temperature settings on the garment label.
Proper laundering ensures that the fabric retains its shape and the slim-leg silhouette does not become distorted over time. Avoid using harsh chemical bleaches, as these can break down the recycled polyester fibres and cause premature wear. When drying, avoid high heat to prevent the Lycra from losing its elasticity, which is vital for maintaining the trouser's comfortable stretch.
