Frog-Closure Stand-Collar Track Jacket & Wide-Leg Trouser Set

A two-piece tracksuit that takes the shape of a retro zip track jacket and hands the front over to five corded frog closures in cream. The closure is the reason the set reads differently from every other track suit on the shelf: five braided bars sit across the zip from the chest to the hem, each one knotted at the centre, against a body that is otherwise plain.

Everything else follows the retro sportswear formula — a stand collar with contrast piping, three contrast stripes running the length of each sleeve and each outer leg, ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem band, and trousers that drop wide and uncuffed to the floor. The cloth is a brushed jersey with a soft nap, so the colour reads slightly deeper in the folds than it does on the flat.

What is in the set

• Two pieces, sold together. One zip-through stand-collar track jacket and one pair of wide-leg trousers, in the same cloth and the same colour.
• Five frog closures. Cream corded bars across the zip, from the chest down to the hem band, each finished with a centre knot. Count them in the close-up photographs.
• Stand collar with piping. The collar stands up on its own and is edged with contrast piping, which frames the neck when the zip is worn open.
• Three contrast stripes. Running the full length of each sleeve and down each outer trouser leg, in a flat cream that sits against the brushed ground.
• Ribbed cuff and hem. The jacket closes at the wrist and at the hip with rib bands — this is what holds the blouson shape at the waist instead of letting the body hang straight.
• Slanted side pockets. Set into the front panels at hip height, angled rather than horizontal.
• Drawstring wide-leg trousers. An elastic waist with an inner drawcord, then a straight, wide leg that runs uncuffed to the hem.

The closures, and how to wear them

Each bar is a braided cord wrapped and stitched into a short horizontal loop, knotted once at the centre so it sits over the zip line rather than to one side. Five run from the collarbone to the hem band, evenly spaced, in cream against the darker ground.

The zip is the fastening. Because the bars sit across it rather than beside it, the front reads as a single closed column when the jacket is zipped up, and as two parallel columns of detail when it is worn open over a base layer. On the trousers the same idea appears as the three-leg stripe rather than as closures, which keeps the top and the bottom from competing.

Size guide

The figures below are the measurements published with this product, in centimetres with inches alongside. They are garment measurements taken flat, not body measurements, and the published tolerance is 1–2 cm. The set is stocked in S, M, L, XL and 2XL; the source table stops at XL, so the 2XL column is marked as not published rather than estimated.

Two rows decide the fit. The hip runs 112 cm at S up to 124 cm at XL and is a fixed circumference — it is what the wide leg hangs from, so match it to your own hip with a couple of centimetres to spare. The waist is elastic with a drawcord and will close down further than the stated figure, so it is less critical than the hip.

For length, the trouser runs 104–107 cm from waist to hem with a 77–78 cm inside leg. That is a full-length break over a trainer, not a cropped leg.

How it is cut

The jacket is oversized through the body and gathered at the hem. A 108 cm bust at S with a 65 cm body length gives a boxy, slightly cropped proportion, and the rib band at the hem pulls the lower body in so the cloth blouses above it. The sleeves are cut full and drop slightly at the shoulder, which is what produces the soft fold down the outside of the arm.

The trousers are wide and straight with no taper and no cuff. From a 62 cm elastic waist at S they open out to a 112 cm hip, then fall without interruption to the hem — the widest point is the seat, and the leg stays close to that width all the way down.

The cloth itself is a brushed jersey with a short nap. It drapes rather than stands away from the body, which is why the trousers break softly over the shoe instead of holding a hard crease.

Stuck on sizing?

Go by the hip first. Because the leg is wide and uncuffed, the fabric needs room at the seat to fall correctly; a hip that is too tight will pull the stripe out of line down the leg. Compare your hip to 112 cm at S, 116 cm at M, 120 cm at L and 124 cm at XL.

Then check the jacket length, not the bust. The bust is generous across every size, so it will not be the limit — but 65 cm at S sits at the high hip, so if you want it lower, size up. The sleeve runs 53–56 cm, which is a standard full-length sleeve on these sizes.

Frequently asked questions

Are the frog closures functional? The jacket fastens with a full-length zip. The five corded bars sit across it as a fixed detail, from the chest to the hem band.

Are the trousers cuffed at the ankle? No. The leg runs straight and wide to an open hem, which is what gives the drape in the photographs.

Is the stripe on both the jacket and the trousers? Yes. Three contrast stripes run the length of each sleeve and down each outer leg, in the same cream as the closures.

Can the pieces be worn separately? Yes. The jacket works over jeans and the trousers work with a plain tee or a cropped top. They are sold together as one set.

Which sizes are available? S, M, L, XL and 2XL. Measurements are published for S to XL; the 2XL figures are not published, so none are shown for that size.

Is the whole set the same colour? Yes. Jacket and trousers are cut from the same cloth in the same tone, with the closures and stripes in matching cream.

Shipping and returns

Orders are dispatched from our warehouse and tracking is sent as soon as the parcel leaves. If the fit is not right, the set can be returned unworn with the tags attached within the return window stated in our returns policy. Because the two pieces are sold as one set, returns are handled as a set.

Check the hip row and the trouser length against a pair you already own before ordering — those two numbers decide whether this set falls the way it does in the photographs.
