Sold Out
If you aren't yet a fan of Amundsen's Concord knickerbockers, you're missing out. We've been putting these old-school strides through their paces (literally) for a few years now, and they're the perfect autumn/winter walking trouser. Teamed with long socks and gaiters, they're warm and weather-resistant, plus you don't have flappy cuffs that get caked in mud on every outing. And if the sun comes out, just roll your socks down and get to work on the much-coveted 'knickerbocker tan'. These are the slimmer-fitting version without the leg pocket, and while they look a bit like lederhosen (in a good way), they're actually extremely comfortable thanks to the super-flexy 4-way-stretch cotton velvet corduroy from Cosserat of Amiens.

Amundsen clothing is named after one of the greatest explorers ever to walk the Earth. No pressure there then. In fact, the company’s co-founder, Jørgen Amundsen, is a relative of the legendary man himself, and the brand’s designs are based on classic styles from the golden age of exploration. Throw in a generous dash of 1960s Nordic ski resort chic and you’ve got a unique range of good-looking kit that’ll get you noticed in all the right ways.
However, there’s nothing old-fashioned about the way Amundsen’s gear performs. Ruggedly built from merino wool and waterproof triple-layer cotton, these are serious expedition-grade garments built for a Scandi outdoor culture – a concept that the Norwegians call ‘friluftsliv’, or ‘open-air life’. It’s the idea that time spent enjoying the freedom of the outdoors should be a core part of your life, since it enhances just about everything else. Now that’s something we can all get on board with.
