Translated from Dutch
Designed in the Netherlands, from desk to dinner without a change of clothes.
Clean, considered trousers that carry a day from the office to the evening. The range runs from the relaxed everyday Essence Chino to the cleaner, more tailored TP 02 Essence, so you can pick the cut and the formality you want. Like everything we make, they are refined generation after generation: the same trouser, made better each time, down to the drape, the waistband and the finish. Designed in our Dutch studio and made in family-owned ateliers in Portugal, Turkey or China, chosen per piece for the best make.
When we ask customers why they bought, the answers are consistent: the fit and the quality. Across more than 500 verified reviews ETQ holds 4.6 out of 5, and the Essence trouser is one of our most repeat-purchased pieces, part of a community of more than 250,000 customers.
The range, by how you'll actually wear it
Essence Chino. The relaxed, everyday trouser, cotton-rich, our most-worn and best-stocked cut.
TP 02 Essence. A cleaner, more tailored trouser for dressed days, in our Traveller Weave.
Straight and slim cuts. Across the Essence line, so you can choose your leg.
How to wear them
An Essence trouser is a wardrobe hinge. Dress it up with a tailored polo or fine knit and a suede loafer for the office; dress it down with a heavyweight tee and clean sneakers. Layer an overshirt over the top as it cools. For a denim alternative, see our jeans.
Fabric and fit
We choose fabrics to last, and we're honest about them. Where it serves the trouser we favour natural cotton, usually with a little elastane for comfort and movement. In other pieces we engineer the cloth differently: the tailored Essence line is cut from our Traveller Weave, which blends in performance fibres, including polyester, for shape retention, a clean drape and low-maintenance, travel-ready wear that resists creasing. Different cloth for a different job, chosen for how the trouser is actually worn. Offered in straight and slim; most customers find them true to size.
Care
Care is listed by fabric on every product page. As a rule: machine wash cool, reshape and hang or lay flat to dry, and keep the iron low. The Traveller Weave resists creasing, so it needs little pressing, while cotton-rich chinos take a light press if you want a sharper line.
Frequently asked about ETQ trousers
What's the difference between the Essence trouser and the Essence Chino?
The Essence Chino is the relaxed, everyday, cotton-rich option; the TP 02 Essence is cleaner and more tailored in our Traveller Weave. Different cuts and cloths for different days.
What are ETQ trousers made of?
It depends on the piece, and the exact composition is on each product page. We favour natural cotton with a little elastane for comfort where it suits the trouser, and in the tailored Essence line we use our Traveller Weave, which blends in polyester for shape retention and low-maintenance, travel-friendly wear.
Do they wrinkle or need ironing?
The Traveller Weave has natural recovery and resists creasing, which is why customers rate it for travel and long office days. Cotton-rich chinos take a light press if you prefer a crisper line.
Straight or slim?
Straight for a classic, easy leg; slim for a closer cut. Most customers find both true to size; check the fit note on each product page.
How do I wash and care for them?
Care is listed per fabric on the product page. In general: machine wash cool, reshape and hang or lay flat to dry, and keep ironing low. The Traveller Weave needs very little.
Where are they made?
Designed in our Dutch studio and made in family-owned ateliers in Portugal, Turkey or China, chosen per piece, and refined generation after generation.

How to measure
Let’s find your perfect fit. Place a sheet of paper on the floor against the wall and put your feet (with socks) on it, heels against the wall. Make sure you lean on your feet with full power when measuring. Now you simply draw a line at the end of the biggest foot. Measure the distance with a ruler and find the size that matches it: see size table. Are you in between sizes? In that case, we suggest taking the bigger size.
Mediterranean Suede
Refined in style, matt in color. The ultra-soft suede leather is sanded and feels velvety soft. It is crafted from the inside layer of the leather hide. Mediterranean leather is the delicate choice.
Premium Suede
Experience unparalleled luxury. It's made of the finest selection of hides and superior finishing techniques. It is valued for its softness, flexibility, and ability to lend a sophisticated look. Our premium suede shoes need no lining, just one layer of leather. It wears like a second skin.
Nappa Leather
Soft. Smooth. Nappa leather makes extremely comfortable shoes. The leather is obtained from tanning animal hides. It is characterized by a fine grain and a smooth finish. It feels simply sophisticated.
Nubuck Leather
Premium nubuck: the best of the best. Exclusive leather that we sanded rough on the outside grain part of the hide, giving it a velvety butter-soft surface. It offers utmost suppleness.
Full Grain Leather
Full grain leather is naturally firmer and more durable as it is produced by retaining the top layer of the hide. Its appearance is natural, authentic, and robust. You are still able to see the grains. It looks just like the grains on your skin. We never sanded, buffed, or snuffed it, so this leather is super strong.
French Terry
Tès Chique. French terry is a knit characterized by its unique looped-back construction. One side is smooth, and the other side is textured with loops of thread. It is known for its comfort, breathability, and moisture-proof properties. French terry is available as lightweight or heavyweight.
Punti di Roma
Wrinkle-resistant, soft like a baby, and slightly elastic. This is Italian quality, knitted to perfection. Punti Di Roma has a heavy, rich quality as the stitches interlock on both sides of the fabric. The best part: it’s recovery properties. This fabric stays in shape. And so will you.
Bamboo
Bamboo fibers are derived from the pulp of bamboo plants. Bamboo knits are soft and breathable. Moisture wicking? Yes. Ideal for socks.
American Fleece
Comfort meets durability in our American Fleece. This fabric is made from a blend of premium cotton and synthetic fibers, providing a soft yet resilient texture. Known for its exceptional warmth and insulation, American Fleece is perfect for layering or wearing on its own. Its slightly brushed surface creates a plush, cozy feel, making it ideal for cooler climates. Despite its softness, this fleece is highly durable and resistant to pilling, ensuring it maintains its luxurious feel wear after wear. A staple in athleisure and casualwear, American Fleece offers the perfect balance of comfort and performance.

Piqué Knit
A true classic in fabric craftsmanship, piqué knit is renowned for its unique textured surface, characterized by a subtle waffle or honeycomb pattern. Originally developed for sportswear, piqué knit has evolved into a sophisticated fabric that balances structure with breathability. The weave creates tiny raised patterns, adding a tactile dimension while allowing air to flow easily, making it perfect for all-season wear.
Soft yet durable, piqué knit is frequently used in polo shirts and garments that require a balance between casual and formal. It drapes beautifully while maintaining a slight stretch, offering comfort without losing its shape. Known for its ability to hold its form and resist wrinkling, this fabric is an excellent choice for those who value a polished look with minimal maintenance.
Mercerized Cotton
Mercerized cotton is the epitome of luxury in cotton fabrics. Through a special finishing process, the cotton fibers are treated to enhance their natural properties, resulting in a fabric that is smoother, stronger, and more lustrous. The mercerization process not only strengthens the fibers but also gives the cotton a subtle sheen that adds an elevated, polished look to the material.
What sets mercerized cotton apart is its ability to hold dye exceptionally well, resulting in vibrant, rich colors that resist fading over time. It’s smoother to the touch than regular cotton, offering a silk-like feel without sacrificing breathability. This fabric is durable, resists shrinking, and maintains its shape, making it ideal for garments that combine sophistication with everyday wearability.
At ETQ, our mercerized cotton shirts offer a refined, elegant look with the comfort and practicality of cotton. It’s the perfect choice for those who appreciate understated luxury and long-lasting quality in their wardrobe essentials.
Twill Fabric – Iron Free
Twill fabric is a durable, structured material characterized by its diagonal weave pattern, offering a distinct texture and visual depth. Known for its strength and versatility, twill is used in garments that require a bit more durability while maintaining a polished, professional look. The diagonal weave provides natural wrinkle resistance, making it an excellent choice for both casual and formal attire.
What sets our Iron-Free Twill apart is its advanced treatment that ensures a smooth, crisp appearance straight out of the wash, eliminating the need for ironing. This fabric is designed to stay sharp and maintain its form throughout the day, providing an effortlessly polished look with minimal effort. Its ability to resist creasing and maintain its structure makes it ideal for busy professionals or frequent travelers who need their clothing to perform as well as they do.
