Gurkha trousers
A high, wide waistband with buckled crossover straps, borrowed from military dress. Pleated and full of character, they suit smart-casual days and relaxed weekends.
Ron & Rich cuts bespoke trousers and shorts in styles from Gurkha and side adjusters to clean beltless fronts. Tailoring in Singapore since 1979, our master tailors cut tailored pants to sit securely at your natural waist and fall cleanly to your preferred break.
Trousers
Every pair of tailored trousers we make in Singapore is cut to your physique. We take precise waist, hip and inseam measurements and adjust for seat depth and leg pitch, so the trouser hangs cleanly from waist to shoe. Uneven hips, bow legs or knock knees call for more than standard tailoring; our master tailors read these at the fitting and cut the pattern around them.
Each pair is hand-cut from an individual paper pattern drafted for your proportions, then finished with a canvas-reinforced waistband that stays flat against the torso and hand-stitched bar tacks at every stress point.

From timeless classics to bolder contemporary cuts, the waistband sets the character of the trouser. Choose the one that suits how you dress.

A high, wide waistband with buckled crossover straps, borrowed from military dress. Pleated and full of character, they suit smart-casual days and relaxed weekends.

Buckled tabs at each hip replace belt loops and let you fine-tune the waist. They keep the waistband clean, a natural choice for suit and office trousers.

A cloth tab drawn through a pair of metal D-rings at the hip adjusts the waist with a touch of vintage sporting style.

Two hooks set at offset points fasten the waistband flat and secure, a discreet detail that keeps the front of formal trousers smooth.

With no belt loops and the waist settled at your fitting, beltless trousers give an uninterrupted line from shirt to shoe, ideal under a jacket.

Single or double forward pleats give room to sit; a flat front is cleaner with a slim jacket. Either is drawn into the pattern, never altered afterwards.
We choose cloth by how it breathes and how it performs in Southeast Asia’s heat. For lightweight tailored trousers that stay cool, we cut tropical-weight wool, cotton, linen and linen blends, which let air move freely through humid afternoons while holding a clean crease.
Off-the-rack shorts tend to flare at the hem or bunch at the seat. We cut tailored shorts for men to balance thigh width and leg length against your height, so the profile stays clean through the leg. Built with the same waistband and breathable cloths as our trousers, they are a refined option for your most casual days.
Bespoke should not be reserved for formal dress. We cut tailored trousers around everyday life in Singapore.
All commissioned men’s tailored pants, trousers and shorts at Ron & Rich follow the same bespoke process.




We take full measurements, accounting for hip slope, seat depth and leg pitch, and draft your master pattern onto paper. Your chosen cloth is then hand-cut.
You try on the trousers in their preliminary state. Our master tailor checks the rise, seat, waistband position and how the leg falls over your shoe, pinning and chalking adjustments on the garment.
The trousers are taken apart and your pattern corrected to match the chalked adjustments. The garment is then finished with a canvas-reinforced curtain waistband and hand-tacked stress points.
The finished trousers are hand-pressed under heavy steam to shape the leg and set a sharp crease, then prepared for collection.

Send to Ron & RichBespoke trousers at Ron & Rich start from $290, including GST. Denim starts from $290 and pure wool trousers from $390, with the final price set by the mill, weave and weight of the cloth.
Usually three to four weeks from the first consultation to collection. That covers pattern drafting, cutting and the standard fitting, with a little more time if posture adjustments call for an extra fitting.
None in construction or fit. Trousers is the British term and pants the American one; in Singapore both are used for the same bespoke, tailor-fitted garment.
One to two fittings after the initial measuring. Our master tailors hold as many as needed so the rise, seat depth and leg pitch sit exactly on your natural stance.
Yes. Odd trousers are one of our most frequent commissions: grey flannel, tan cotton, navy hopsack, each cut to your pattern and finished by hand.
For a clean modern line we recommend a slight break or none, with the hem just touching the shoe. A fuller break suits wider trousers and a more classic look. We will show you both at the fitting.
