Fashion legend has it that the word “tweed” originated from a misunderstanding – a London merchant thought the Scotch word “tweel” was “tweed” named after the river in Scotland. Whisked across the Channel, the fabric is reinterpreted by Parisian label Maje to create the Penalt trousers. Shaped to a wide-leg silhouette, they’re topped with a high-rise waist and stitched with sporty side stripes down the lengths of the legs.
