Burgundy gurkha suit trousers Dharan

A fresh breeze from the North

For fall-winter 2026, The Nines and Alex Cormac continue their collaboration with Aquilon. Named after the cold north wind, the collection envisions a warmer, more textured wardrobe.

Three-piece suits, Gurkha pants, ribbed knits, and shirts with distinctive collars create a look shaped by British, military, and workwear influences. Tweeds, Shetland wools, and substantial fabrics add texture, while the cuts and details draw on sometimes-forgotten elements of menswear. It’s a way to bring them up to date without changing their character.

With Aquilon, The Nines and Alex Cormac have created a distinctive collection designed to last and become a wardrobe of essentials.

The Dharan Gurkha Pants by Alex Cormac

Inspired by the pants worn by Gurkha soldiers, the Dharan features the same high waist and side adjusters, originally designed to tighten pants without a belt. Once a detail of military dress, they’re reinterpreted here for a more contemporary look.

Available in four colors—navy, gray, brown, and burgundy—they make it easy to vary your outfits. The navy and gray versions are designed to pair with the Dharan jacket for a less conventional suit. Worn on their own, they work just as well with a shirt as with knitwear. A piece that fits into both a dressier wardrobe and more casual outfits.
