Questions,
answered straight.

If yours isn't here, ask. We'd rather answer it than have you guess.

The house

Who we are.

What is Valdoro?

A menswear label from Sri Lanka. We make Italian-inspired tailoring for the modern gentleman: old money style for men who earned their own. We open with one piece, the Palazzo trouser.

What does "new money, old manners" mean?

It's our customer in four words. A man who made his own money and dresses with the restraint of people who inherited theirs. Good fit, quiet colours, no visible logos. The longer version is on the house page.

Where is it made?

In Sri Lanka, which makes clothing for many of the world's biggest brands. The ideas are Italian. The making is ours.

The trouser

What you get.

What is the Palazzo trouser?

A high-waisted, pleated men's trouser in cotton. It fastens with two side buckles at each hip instead of a belt, has an extended waistband tab, a pressed crease and a turn-up.

Is it the same as Gurkha trousers?

Close cousins. Gurkha trousers also sit high and skip the belt, usually with a wrap-over waistband and a single buckle. The Palazzo uses two side buckles at each hip and an extended front tab. If you came looking for Gurkha pants in Sri Lanka, you're in the right place.

Which colours and sizes are there?

Four colours: Ivory, Navy Blue, Light Grey and White. Five waists: 28, 30, 32, 34 and 36. Each is cut an inch bigger than its label and taken in with the buckles. See the size guide.

I've never worn a high waist. Will it feel odd?

For about a day. Then every other trouser feels like it's falling off. We wrote a short guide.

Buying

How it works.

How do I buy a pair?

Join Club Valdoro. It's free. Members are invited to order first when the limited first run opens.

How much does it cost?

We don't publish the price before release. Members are told first, and pay less than the public price.

Is the first run really limited?

Yes. It's a fixed quantity, and members order from it before anyone else. We don't do fake scarcity. It's bad manners.

Do you deliver outside Sri Lanka?

Sri Lanka first. Other countries follow.

What is the members' vote?

Members choose the next piece we make: a knit short-sleeve polo, a knit long-sleeve polo, or a linen long-sleeve shirt. One vote each.

What do you do with my details?

We use them to tell you when the first run opens. That's all. See the privacy note.

Club Valdoro

It costs something to be late.
