Description
The Cutpiece Split Trousers were created from the selvedges and offcuts of our popular A.34 merino thermals (which are first created from surplus mill rolls). In order to honour the precious material of wool, we keep every single leftover scrap from the cutting process, which we then sort by size and colour palette. We hand place and stitch new textiles from these precious resources.
The trousers features open sides with a continuous trim border that looks amazing when walking. Wear them over the A.57 Rib Trousers or on their own for a statement.
We call this textile production method 'Cutpiece' – a regenerated textile that is entirely unique to the individual garment and owner.

Product Story
Make
Description
The A.CST was made in-house at the A.BCH circular factory. Our entire production and HQ operations rely on 100% renewable wind power and we carbon offset our energy use. Your fabric is first created by hand before being laid and cut with minimal waste (however all new waste can go back into this very process). Pieces are then sewn by our team of skilled machinists. Each garment is quality checked and pressed before being sent to you. Our operations are accredited by Ethical Clothing Australia.

Fabric
Description
100% Cutpiece from merino rib (mill surplus). This wool was originally grown and blended from ten farms from around Victoria and New South Wales in Australia. The wool fibre was purchased and combined by Fox & Lille Wool Brokers before being sent to Xin’ao in China to be processed and spun. Farms, broker and spinner are Responsible Wool Standard certified. These yarns are kept seperate from other wool, ensuring traceability from farm to product. Spun yarns were sent back to Victoria to our mill, MTK who knitted and dyed the fabrics locally. These fabrics were end of roll, mill surplus used to created the A.34 thermal style. We regenerate a new textile from the offcuts to create 'Cutpiece' a unique production process for working with offcuts.
