Farah slacks
Founded by a certain Mr Farah in the depths of Texas, this brand started making its first creations in denim in 1920.
It was a slow start, but the brand persisted and continued manufacturing even during the war period. Fifty years later, in 1970, the brand arrived in Britain under the direction of Farah Junior. Young Brits quickly adopted the brand. For mods, skins and other punks it was a must-have. This was a turning point.
From its tumultuous past, Farah is now a classic brand in Britain. Stylish & casual, these slacks embody English class, remaining distinguished but not strict, they can be worn like a pair of jeans.
Recognizable by the famous orange tab on the back of each pair, they are now available in France from €65 from Citadium, RoyalCheese and Noir Kennedy in the Marais.
I did not see these at Noir Kennedy which is more punk / grunge than preppy… Strange.
