Located in Spaccanapoli, a working-class neighborhood of Naples, Italy, "Mora" is a workshop that handles the tailoring of bespoke trousers for famous tailors, earning the nickname "subcontractor." Pasquale's father, Antonio, who runs the shop, was a man known as a "master craftsman," a pantalonaiō (trouser maker) who, along with Vincenzo Attolini, built an era at London House. Tracing back further, his family has a lineage of trouser specialists spanning over 100 years, going back to his grandfather and great-grandfather.

Mora never reveals his name to the world. This is because, unlike tailors, pantalonaios pride themselves on remaining in the shadows. However, in response to public demand, he launched the ready-to-wear brand Le Spade to make his clothes accessible to everyone.

These trousers have a 22cm hem width, a deep rise, and two pleats with side adjusters. The waistband is wide and the fly is long. There is only one back pocket on the right side. The tailoring features an S-shaped shaping.
This classic fit has been favored by Neapolitan tailors and supplied to renowned brands. These are truly exceptional trousers, with everything except the seams being hand-stitched. The wool version uses fabric from Hardy Minnis, and the cotton version uses fabric from Caccioppoli. This season, they will be available exclusively in Japan at ISETAN MEN'S .
