The classic GH Norman pant is created with self-belt detail, slim upper body fit and straight leg detail. Crafted from alpaca lino weave gauze, the fabric’s fluidity creates a softer, more draped silhouette.

Alpaca is a warm and lightweight fiber with origins in Peru. It has the largest array of natural colors of any animal fiber, and is often considered as soft as cashmere. Alpaca provides about three times as much warmth per weight as wool. While wool traps warmth in the pockets of air within the fiber, alpaca is warmer and lighter because it is completely hollow. Another difference from wool is that alpaca animals do not have lanolin, the emollient in sheep that can cause wool to feel itchy. This eliminates the textile processing step for lanolin extraction. Alpaca also has desirable similarities to wool, such as water-resistance and ability to wick perspiration. Another positive aspect of alpaca is that it has one of the lowest environmental impacts of animal fibers. Alpaca hooves are softly padded, so their grazing does not cause soil erosion and flooding like sheep.
