Grey 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 wool, and substantial fabrics add texture throughout, while the cuts and details draw on sometimes-forgotten references from menswear. It’s a way to bring them up to date without losing their character.

With Aquilon, The Nines and Alex Cormac present 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 their high waist and side adjusters, originally designed to fit the pants without a belt. It’s a detail from military dress, now reinterpreted 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 equally well into a dressy wardrobe or more casual outfits.
