Inspired by 1930s French Army Officer summer uniforms, these trousers were originally designed for use in hot climates and tropical regions. Tailored for military officers, they feature practical details such as a rear waist adjuster and wide belt loops for added support and function. Their robust construction and classic design make them ideal not only for outdoor wear but also as stylish, utilitarian work pants.
Prequel has faithfully recreated the fabric used in these vintage officer trousers, developing their own oxford weave based on the original 1930s material. With its balanced breathability and durability, vintage oxford was a smart choice for extended wear in warm conditions. To ensure authenticity, Prequel carefully analyzed an original garment—studying thread thickness, texture variations, and weave density in meticulous detail.

We’re thrilled to welcome Japanese label Prequel to Wardrobe 19.
We first discovered Prequel at a tradeshow in Berlin last year, where their shirts immediately stood out for their extraordinary fabrics—some of the finest we've ever come across. It was a clear decision: we had to bring them to Copenhagen.
Naturally, Prequel hails from Japan 🇯🇵
Their shirt-making craft is rooted in deep history, drawing inspiration from a rare 1907 fabric sample book by Claude Fréres (J. & Co., Paris). With microscopic attention to detail, Prequel revives these vintage textiles, reinterpreting them through a contemporary lens.
