Custom Tailored Vintage Pants | High Waist, Gurkha & Side Adjuster

Our custom tailored vintage pants collection brings classic, high-rise trouser styles back with a modern made-to-measure fit. It includes high waist wide leg pants, Gurkha pants and side adjuster (buckle) pants, all made to your body measurements. Indie Darzi is a men's custom tailoring brand, so each pair is built around your proportions, with choices in fabric, colour and styling.

What Are Vintage Pants?

Vintage pants are trousers inspired by classic mid-century menswear, usually with a higher rise, fuller leg and distinctive waist details. Rather than a low, slim modern cut, they sit at the natural waist and hang with more ease through the leg. The collection covers these main styles:

• High waist wide leg pants: A high rise with a roomy, straight-falling leg for a relaxed, retro look.
• Gurkha pants: A high-rise style with a wide, extended waistband, commonly worn without a belt, and usually tapering toward the ankle.
• Side adjuster (buckle) pants: Trousers with buckle tabs at the sides of the waistband, which allow small adjustments and replace the need for a belt.

Details vary by product, so check each page for specifics.

Why Choose Custom Vintage Pants?

High-rise cuts depend on precise measurements. If the rise is too short, the pants feel uncomfortable. If the waist is off, the shape collapses. Because the waistband is a central feature in these styles, getting the fit right matters more. Made-to-measure tailoring builds the pants from your own waist, rise, hip and length measurements, so they sit as designed.

What You Can Customize

Customization depends on the style you choose, and each product page lists the available options. Common choices in custom trouser tailoring include:

• Body measurements
• Fit and leg width
• Fabric and colour
• Waistband, pleats, pockets and closure details

How It Works

1. Choose a vintage pant style from the collection.
2. Provide your measurements.
3. Select your fabric and styling details.
4. Your pants are tailored to your specifications.
5. The finished pants are shipped to you.

Who Are These Pants For?

These pants suit men who like retro-inspired, relaxed tailoring, those who find modern slim trousers uncomfortable, and anyone building a smart-casual or semi-formal look. They can be worn to the office, dinners, events and weddings, depending on fabric and styling. They pair well with shirts, knitwear, blazers or a Mandarin collar shirt.
